Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney enjoy singing at parties
In the Rolling Stone interview, Swift and McCartney joined in their love of singing at parties.
“I just remember thinking, ‘Are you the catalyst for the funniest moments ever?’ Is it your willingness to get up and play music that makes everyone feel like this is something that can happen tonight? Swift told McCartney.
McCartney replied, “I mean, I think it’s a little bit of everything, right? I’ll tell you who was very … Reese Witherspoon was like, ‘Are you going to sing?’ I said ‘Oh, I don’t know.’ She said: ‘You have to, yes!’ She is commanding me. So I said, ‘Whoa’, so that’s a little bit of that.
Swift added: “I love that person, because the party doesn’t get musical without that person… If nobody says, ‘Guys, can you play the music?’ we will not be invited on stage to whatever party in the living room is.
