Springsteen recently revealed while on The Howard Stern Show that he listened to Taylor Swift’s Midnights and gave somewhat a review of it. Springsteen stated, “My daughter, a Taylor Swift fan to the max, the other day ago I pick her up at the airport, She says, ‘Dad, Taylor Swift has got a banging new record!’ I was like, ‘So we got a banging new record? Alright.’ And plays it for me, top volume, all the way from Newark to Colts Neck, dancing in her seat. I said, ‘That’s what I like to see.’ It felt good.”
Stern then asked him for his reaction to the album which prompted Springsteen to say, “It was good, She’s super talented. [I know her] just a little bit. She’s a tremendous writer and I know her producer Jack Antonoff very well … they make great records. There’s a lot of great work going on, people still making great records, and people are finding a lot of joy in those records … that’s gonna go on.”
So far it has been a historic week for Taylor Swift who is the first artist in history to chart 10 songs on the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. She wrote, “10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES,” Midnights is currently sittign at number one on the Billboard 200.
