18 Rock Musicians Who've Defended Taylor Swift

Here are some rock musicians who've defended and praised Taylor Swift.

Simply put, it's quite hard to not know who Taylor Swift is these days. The country teen star has crossed over to the pop world and taken over the music world while adding fans and haters along the way.

Today (Aug. 12), she revealed through her Instagram while appearing on the Kelce brothers New Heights podcast that her 12th studio album will be titled The Life of a Showgirl, so the whole world is talking about her right now even more than they usually do.

Swift's fanbase, affectionately known as "Swifties," is made up of some of the most loyal (and scary) Stans in music history. One negative comment on the internet about the artist, and you're sure to summon swarms of them.

But it's not just Swifties who defend the entertainer — rock musicians do it, too.

Some of those defenses came a few years ago after the rock singer Damon Albarn tried to take Swift down a peg by downplaying her songwriting contributions in an interview. ("She doesn't write her own songs," he flatly told the Los Angeles Times in January of 2022. Several rock musicians jumped up to correct him.)

But that's not the only time. Disturbed's David Draiman pushed back against a negative response from a crowd member at a show by sharing his praise for Swift and notoriously critical Oasis vocalist Liam Gallagher has also shown his support for the pop star as well.

Plenty of other performers in rock music have gushed about Swift on occasions unrelated to that beef.
