In recent years, the music industry has grown by leaps and bounds with new genres and artists lending their credence. However, when it comes to single-handedly leaving an impact on the entirety of the competitive arena in recent times, then the crown rightfully belongs to Taylor Swift. The sheer influence of the singer keeps amassing daily clout and the latest among the top billers to join the bandwagon is the lead singer of the heavy metal band, Disturbed, David Draiman.

Rather such an impression, the singer left on the vocalist that he even went on to fire back at his audience for her defense.

David Draiman stands by Taylor Swift and her musical contributions

Taylor Swift has extended her dominant show by having her latest album release grab high honors. Meanwhile, riding a strong surge in popularity following her Eras Tour, the 34-year-old became the sole person to become a billionaire based on her music alone. Taking due cognizance of it, David Draiman shed light on her influence during an interaction with two young attendees from the January 19 Disturbed concert. When faced with boos from the audience, he fired back with “Don’t talk sh*t about Taylor Swift.”

During the live concert, the lead vocalist invited two fathers and their daughters on stage. A cheeky comment that the girls had come to a “Disturbed concert, as opposed to the Taylor Swift concert,” evoked applause as well as criticisms from the audience. In a swift response, Draiman answered with “Hey, don’t forget: Taylor Swift still kicks a*s”. Additionally, he also went on to praise the ‘1989’ singer for her ability to sing and play the guitar live on-stage while inspiring an entire generation for the same.

Along with her influence on the music industry, Taylor Swift has also made rapid inroads within the sports one as well.

Buffalo mayor warns the singer of Travis Kelce’s certain defeat

Taylor Swift has more often than not rained her lady luck on Travis Kelce and his team Kansas City Chiefs. In the 10 appearances that she has made on the NFL games so far, her beau’s side has won 7 times out of those even in below-freezing temperatures. However, the most important test of that luck would unfold in about a day during Kelce’s knockout game against the Bills on 22nd January.

Amid this, the mayor of Buffalo played in jostle that the singer would receive a warm welcome only to help cushion the certain defeat. Moreover, her getting pulled into sports beyond mere support for Travis Kelce followed fumble mistakes by an NFL commentator as well as a plaid joke by presenter Jo Koy during the 2024 Golden Globes on similar lines.
