Taylor Swift starts her European tour with a concert at La Défense Arena on Thursday May 9. Host and music specialist Éric Jean-Jean gave his insight for 19/20 info.

Taylor Swift’s sixth tour is one of superlatives. “It’s almost too much, to the extent that it’s minimizing the artistic importance of this young woman. (…) But we must not let ourselves be carried away by the phenomenon”, tempers the host and music specialist Éric Jean-Jean. Beyond the dedication of his admirers, “we must not forget that it is a singer-songwriter who composes her songs, who suffered.”

An autonomous and committed artist

In addition to “tell love stories”Taylor Swift “settles scores with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian” in his songs. “She is committed to defending the right to abortion in the United States. It is possible that she will swing certain states during the American elections”continues Éric Jean-Jean. “We all expected that at one point she would pronounce herself like a Republican. But not at all”he recalls, emphasizing that the singer also pushed millions of young people to register on the electoral lists.
