Bill Clinton becomes a Swiftie after going to her concert: ‘I was fascinated’
Former President Bill Clinton gushed about his first time attending a Taylor Swift concert during an interview on Monday with Live with Kelly and Mark.
“I was fascinated watching our crowd of kids, especially my granddaughter, standing there with the wife of one of Chelsea’s friends from 20-plus years ago and her daughters, and all of them up there singing and they all knew the words to all the songs,” he said about a recent Swift concert.
The 78-year-old former president added that he now understood why Swift was so captivating.
“I get it now,” he said. “I mean, I understand why she has such an impact on people and why a lot of these young girls are so captivated.”
He praised her endurance as a performer because she sang and danced for “three-plus hours straight” during the concert.
Clinton attended the concert with his wife, Hillary Clinton, their daughter, Chelsea, and Chelsea’s daughter, Charlotte.
Television host Kelly Ripa inquired if he was pressured to use his status as former president to get access backstage.
“Actually, they didn’t, and I probably couldn’t have,” he said as he laughed. “And we didn’t, but you know the venues are so big, you got to walk across a football field to get to backstage.”
He estimated that there were likely 50,000 people in attendance at her Eras Tour concert that night.
Swift will be wrapping up her final concert on the tour while in Vancouver on Dec. 8.
Clinton appeared on the ABC talk show to promote his new memoir, Citizen: My Life After the White House.
