Taylor Swift Delights Over 1 Collaborator’s ‘Brilliant’ Work In Tour Shoutout
“She knows I’m obsessed with her,” said Swift who remarked on her love for the singer’s new album on Friday.
Taylor Swift couldn’t help but use her Eras Tour to highlight the “brilliant” work of fellow singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, who released her ninth album “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd” on Friday.
Swift, who collaborated with Del Rey for a song off “Midnights,” praised the singer’s new album as “extraordinary” in front of a sold-out crowd at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, Variety reported.
“It’s just extraordinary. I just think she’s the best that we have,” said Swift as she sat at a piano on stage.
And she knows I’m obsessed with her and she was kind enough to make a song with me on ‘Midnights’ called ‘Snow on the Beach’ because she’s a generous king. And she did that for me and I’ll never forget how nice she’s been to me,” she continued.
Swift, who encouraged fans to support Del Rey’s project, used the shoutout to transition into playing their collaboration.
The singer-songwriter acknowledged Del Rey wasn’t at the venue and joked that fans were “stuck with” her.
Swift has openly admired Del Rey’s work in the past.
In 2019, Swift called Del Rey one of her favorite artists from the ’10s and noted the singer’s receipt of ruthless criticism in her early career.
“And then slowly but surely she turned into, in my opinion, the most influential artist in pop,” said Swift during her Woman of the Decade Award speech at Billboard’s Women in Music event in 2019.
“Her vocal stylings, her lyrics, her aesthetics — they’ve been echoed and repurposed in every corner of music.”
