Rufus Wainwright met Taylor Swift at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, and their encounter didn't generate the buzz one might have expected.
Either she forgave him or she didn't know what the Canadian singer had said about her recent downfall, namely that his daughter listened to Taylor Swift and he didn't really understand her.
“My daughter loves Taylor Swift right now, so I've definitely gotten an introduction to it,” he said of the 34-year-old singer's music during an interview with Kyle Meredith.
“It's fascinating. I want to keep an open mind and I think what she's doing is very impressive and there are a lot of things I never even dreamed of achieving.”
“On the way to school it's a constant thing and there are certain songs that I like more than others… That hasn't happened to me yet with Taylor, but I'm not saying it won't be the case,” he added.
It's Rufus Wainwright's daughter who must appreciate her father's self-portraits with Taylor Swift. Recall that at the ceremony where she accepted the album of the year award from Céline Dion, she completely ignored the Quebec singer who presented her on stage with her trophy for her album “Midnights”. The two women then took a break backstage.
Taylor Swift will release an album next April. She continues her tour, attending as many Kansas City Chiefs games as possible, where her lover Travis Kelce is one of the players. She will perform in Japan just before the Super Bowl on Feb. 11, but will return to the U.S. specifically to attend the event, a private jet trip that has been criticized on environmental grounds.
