Taylor Swift This Generation’s Beatlemania, Says Beatles Drummer

Taylor Swift This Generation's Beatlemania, Says Beatles Drummer
Oct 21 2024 Share

In an exclusive interview with American Songwriter, former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr compared Taylor Swift’s impact on modern music to that of the Beatles in the 1960s.

Starr, who first met Swift when she was just 14 at the Grammys, praised her immense cultural influence, dedicated fan base, and musical success.

He likened her widespread popularity to the Beatlemania frenzy, calling her the modern equivalent of the Fab Four. Starr, a longtime fan, had previously mentioned her song “You Belong With Me” as a personal favourite.

Starr’s admiration for Swift echoes sentiments shared by other legendary musicians. His former bandmate Paul McCartney admitted to being inspired by Swift’s connection with her fans for his song “Who Cares.”

Similarly, Billy Joel, after attending a Swift concert in 2023, also compared her cultural influence to Beatlemania. While Swift’s massive success is well-established, the validation from iconic artists like Starr, McCartney, and Joel only solidifies her status as one of the most influential musicians of her generation.

As Starr put it, Swift has managed to create a phenomenon that mirrors the Beatles’ own legendary rise.
