Taylor Swift has been on “The Eras Tour” for over a year, during which she will play over 150 concerts. In recent weeks, the artist has been giving performances in Great Britain, where her concerts in Edinburgh were very popular.
Taylor Swift played in the UK throughout June. Her fans gave her an unusual surprise
The American star’s concerts apparently took a toll on the people of Great Britain. Why? A chain of music equipment stores called GuitarGuitar organized a special survey in which customers were to vote for the best guitarists of the last twenty years.
The voting results were published by the website. This honorable group included musicians such as Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys and John Frusciante from Red Hot Chilli Peppers. However, according to the network’s customers, one of the best guitarists of the last two decades is also… Taylor Swift.
A pop star as one of the best guitarists? This is what customers of the music store chain think
How on earth did this happen? Many rock music lovers are probably aware that the 34-year-old singer has little in common with rock music and regular guitar playing. It is true that the artist has, among others, album “folklore”, produced by, among others, Aaron Dessner from the indie rock band The National, but that doesn’t change much.
As indicated by the British website, the artist’s position in this list may be related to her current tour. “The fact that he regularly plays guitar on his record-breaking tour means that he is playing in front of millions of fans around the world, which is noteworthy,” we read.
It is worth emphasizing that the survey was organized in connection with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the British chain of guitar stores and it can be treated as fun rather than a professional ranking.
