In an insightful comparison with the golden era of Beatlemania, Paul McCartney has drawn parallels between the current state of modern pop superstardom and Taylor Swift's unprecedented global fame. In a candid interview with BBC Sounds, the legendary musician reminisced about his extensive touring days with The Beatles and was asked if he would offer advice to Swift as she navigates her worldwide success.
McCartney readily acknowledged the striking similarities between Swift's fame and that of The Beatles in the 1960s. He said, "You can certainly see the parallel, both in terms of fame and the immense scale of it." He further noted that Taylor Swift's worldwide fame echoes that of The Beatles, but believes that she doesn't require any advice. "To tell you the truth, I don't think she needs any advice," McCartney emphasized.
When asked about the advice he would offer to the 'Lover' hitmaker, McCartney replied, "If she ever asked for it, I would certainly give it. I feel like an older brother or even a grandfather to that generation."
Furthermore, McCartney shared that he has met Taylor Swift and other artists such as Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Sabrina Carpenter. "They're really cool people and very talented," he said, adding that he appreciates "their voices." "If they ever need any advice, I would be more than happy to give it, but I don't think they do," McCartney concluded.
