Griff Talks Taylor Swift Support Slot
Griff has spoken of her excitement about her upcoming Taylor Swift support slot at Wembley Stadium on 22 June.
“Eight-year-old me who had ‘Fearless’ on repeat wouldn’t believe this,” she told NME. “I’m unbelievably grateful to Taylor for all the love she’s shown me and my music.”
“That was very surreal,” Griff went on speaking about the moment she found out Swift had shared her music. “I was at home seeing my parents, sitting at the dinner table, and not on my phone. Then, when I went on my phone, there were so many notifications but I didn’t know what it was.
“I had to scroll right to the bottom where it said ‘Taylor Swift has mentioned you in her story’. It’s just so wild that she would even share my music because she never posts and she didn’t have to do that.”
The singer went on to talk about the experience of collaborating with Coldplay singer Chris Martin. “He’s the best songwriter of our generation so it was crazy to be on tour with him, and for him to be generous enough to listen to my songs. He gave me some advice and ended up playing piano on it.”
