Swift and McCartney Once Interviewed Each Other for ‘Rolling Stone’
Swift and McCartney previously crossed paths in 2020, when they interviewed each other for a Rolling Stone magazine “Musicians on Musicians” piece. During the conversation, the two stars shared their admiration for each other, swapped stories, and discussed some of their own songs.
They also talked about a party both had attended where they each played some tunes, as well as a number of other celebrities who were there.
McCartney’s Song Inspired by Swift
Meanwhile, McCartney revealed in a 2018 BBC interview that Swift inspired his then-new song “Who Cares,” which appeared on his 2018 album Egypt Station.
“I was actually thinking about Taylor Swift and her relationship to her young fans and how it’s sort of a sisterly thing,” McCartney explained. “And I was imagining talking to one of these young fans and saying, ‘Have you ever been bullied? Do you get bullied?’ Then I say, ‘Who cares about the idiots? Who cares about all this? Who cares about you? Well… I do.’”
