Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, Lorde, John Legend, Fetty Wap, Pitbull, zullen we nog even doorgaan? Ze vergezelden Tay allemaal on stage tijdens haar 1989 world tour. Maar Taylor, hoe regelde je dat?
Het is allemaal niet zo ingewikkeld, volgens en in de wereld van Taylor. ‘I hadn't met Fetty Wap before, so I love him and I said, 'Here are the dates we have, please come out,' and then I'd meet the artist when we got to soundcheck, and we'd get to hang out and spend time together.’ En Selena en Lorde dan? Tja, die zijn sowieso maar een telefoontje van haar verwijderd.
Mick dan? Hoe regel je Mick Jagger? ‘My dad knows everything about everyone going on in Nashville. He calls me up and goes, ‘My friend was at lunch in Nashville and he swears he saw Mick Jagger’, and so I had no idea he would be in town. So I texted Mick. I said, 'Hey are you in Nashville? Do you want to come out and sing?' and he writes back, 'Oh, what will I wear?' That was the day before.'
Rest ons de vraag, John Legend? Hoe kwam die op het podium? ‘My friend Chrissy (Teigen) texted me and said, 'Hey, we are on our way to the Staples Center show,' and she's married to John Legend, and I was like, 'Is John coming with you?’
We kunnen nu dus wel vaststellen dat Taylor over een zeer flexibele en getalenteerde band beschikt. Het nummer All of me leerden ze binnen 35 minuten uit hun hoofd.
En waarom deed je dit allemaal Taylor, al die beroemde types naast je tijdens tournee? ‘In this generation, I know as I'm walking on stage that a huge percentage of the crowd have already YouTubed the entire show and watched the whole thing online. They know the set list, they know the costumes, they've looked it up. That presented me with an interesting issue. I love the element of surprise…so going into this tour, having people pop on stage that you didn't expect to see — not only musicians, but actors and athletes and models and people in every type of field.’
Duidelijk.
