While some are only interested in Taylor Swift’s love stories, her fans know what matters most to the singer: her group of friends. Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, the Haim sisters, Blake Lively and even Sophie Turner (with whom she was seen recently, a few days after the announcement of the divorce between Turner and the man who was also Taylor’s lover, Joe Jonas)… Swift is well surrounded and highlights these precious friendships, a constant reminder that through stories of the heart, sisterhood triumphs (as the iconic music video for the song Bad Blood will always remind us).
It all started with a song. “Everything you lose is a step you take/So make the friendship bracelets/Take the moment and taste it,” the singer preaches in the song You’re on Your Own, Kid, from her latest album, Midnights. His fans took it literally. At his concerts, it has become a ritual to exchange friendship bracelets on which song lyrics or even references to Taylor Swift are inscribed.
Some controversies that marked Taylor Swift’s career.
Taylor Swift’s collaboration with the respected Aaron Dessner (member of The National), based on sumptuous folklore, in 2020, is a real turning point in the singer’s career; their first song together, Cardigan, was an immediate success. It then continued with her next two albums, all of which were widely acclaimed. Swift knows how to surround herself well: she has worked for 10 years now with the brilliant director Jack Antonoff, another magician whose touch elevates the singer’s work. His recent collaborations with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) over the years have also sparked, with the popular songs exile (folklore) and Renegade, a collaboration on Dessner and Vernon’s project Big Red Machine.
This is the tour everyone is talking about right now. It is so popular that it is almost impossible to attend. The first time tickets went on sale caused a crash on the Ticketmaster platform, which recorded the largest sales in a single day for an artist. The Eras tour is: a three-hour show, with no less than 44 songs presented in 10 acts and a breathtaking production that only stadiums can accommodate. During these concerts, Taylor Swift visits her entire repertoire, the different “eras” of her career.
