Cyndi Lauper says she is proud of Taylor Swift’s songwriting

Cyndi Lauper, the iconic 80s pop star, recently expressed her admiration for Taylor Swift in a candid interview on the BBC’s The One Show. Lauper, who is 71 years old, had only positive things to say about the talented singer, particularly highlighting Swift’s songwriting skills.

“I like her,” Lauper shared about Swift. “I think she’s terrific. As an artist, she writes some wonderful songs.” It’s clear that Lauper is a fan of Swift’s music and creative abilities.

Not only did Lauper praise Swift, but she also took a moment to acknowledge Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. With humor, Lauper joked about Kelce’s protective nature towards Swift, playfully suggesting that he wouldn’t hesitate to defend his girlfriend if needed.

Following the release of her latest compilation album, Let the Canary Sing, Lauper announced a series of farewell tour shows in Europe. Fans of the timeless hit “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” will have the chance to see Lauper perform live once again.

Meanwhile, Swift is captivating audiences across Europe as part of her Eras Tour. Recently showcasing her talent with three consecutive shows at Wembley Stadium in London, Swift’s global tour continues to showcase her musical prowess and stage presence.

Interestingly, Lauper’s praise for Swift adds to a long list of legendary artists who have recognized Swift’s talent over the years. However, not all comments about Swift are as complimentary as Lauper’s. Dave Grohl, the frontman of Foo Fighters and former member of Nirvana, jokingly commented on Swift’s live performances during a recent concert.

“We like to call our tour the Errors Tour,” Grohl jestingly remarked. “That’s because we actually play live. What?! Just saying.” Grohl’s playful jab at Swift’s live performances suggests a lighter side to the music industry’s discussions and debates.

Despite different opinions and humorous remarks, one thing remains clear – Taylor Swift’s music continues to resonate with fans and fellow artists alike. With both Lauper and Grohl adding their unique perspectives, the conversation surrounding music and performance artistry becomes even more dynamic.

As fans of both Cyndi Lauper and Taylor Swift enjoy their respective musical journeys, the mutual admiration between these two artists serves as a testament to the power of music to connect people across generations and genres.
