Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney once interviewed each other during a Rolling Stone chat
It comes as no surprise that the English singer came to show support at Swift’s concert. In 2020, during a Rolling Stone conversation, they discussed their similar technique of creating a concert setlist.
Speaking about how she was impressed with Paul McCartney’s “selfless set list,” she said:
“I think that learning that lesson from you taught me at a really important stage in my career that if people want to hear Love Story and Shake It Off, I’ve played them 300 million times, play them the 300-millionth-and first time. I think there are times to be selfish in your career and times to be selfless, and sometimes they line up.”
Taylor Swift is next headed to perform in several other European cities, including Dublin, Amsterdam, Zurich, and Milan.
