As an artist It's never been easier to get your music out there today, but it's also never been harder to have longevity

[@joemckim1183]

Exactly, it's a lot easier to get known but it's also a lot harder now to stand out from the pack.

[@truthbearingpsychonaut]

Or get attention.

[@Ali74]

100%. With much more media the attention on artists (as well as actors etc.) is more spread out than previously. Growing up in ‘90s UK Princess Diana and the Spice Girls dominated the news cycle (one or the other would feature on the front cover of tabloids), but that focus on a small number of individuals/groups couldn’t happen now as the general public have a lot more choice of what media to consume.

[@tommy1gtr]

Also alot harder to make a living at it!

[@timothyletwin5911]

Or to make money.

[@gagekristofer]

Bruce is brilliant on so many levels. And it’s cool to see him acknowledge Taylor. Who’s also an incredible writer. I saw her last arena tour and was blown away by her performance. The stage was insane.

[@brunett93]

@@Fearzero Taylor's music isn't predictable. She started out with country pop/rock, then just pop, then alternative and now back to pop but every album is different.

[@henrywasserman]

@@Fearzero Time and the record books will tell just how good Taylor Swift really is. My ears have not let me down yet and I am a fan from Swing to Be-Bop to Coltrane to Rock to Prog Rock to Country to Punk to Grunge to Funk to R&B to Fusion to Metal to Rap to Hip-Hop to Bach to Schoenberg... She is the real deal.

[@jasonezzell6901]

It's so nice to hear a hero talk positively about another great artist. We need more of that.

[@Grant_Ferstat]

100%..

[@donaldbutcher1260]

So glad to see that his feet aren't stuck in the cement of 1975 and that he is embracing what's going on today while still making the music he loves and has a talent for.

[@HeyJools]

I listen to a lot of Bruce Springsteen and I've recently got back into listening to Taylor Swift. I think it is interesting how they both, but very differently, somehow perfectly capture the angst and simultaneous optimism of the human condition.

[@pj4246]

wow, spot on!

[@thejason347]

Bruce writes less revenge-songs, but that's the only difference.

[@alwaysknow3356]

[@Jadorelainie]

Not that she needs needs any validation , but it's so great that an Icon the stature of Bruce has nice things to say about Taylor and her work! She works hard and is a testament to her that one of the greats considers her good.

[@davepastern]

this is not the first time Springsteen has praised Taylor. Paul McCartney has too, so has Jon Bon Jovi.

[@shbsantos]

what i LOVE is picturing tay and jack watching this and losing their minds while bruce casually discusses how amazing they are - which is why i love them because they are both so enthusiastic and down to earth people

[@KevinBurton]

[@nancyfreeman8090]

❤ Bruce Springsteen !

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

The Boss is 73 and looks like that! Amazing. God bless.

[@Zenon-fg4dw]

I love and admire this man so much for his talent and artistic integrity. He sang with a purpose.

[@Fatherjohn76]

Bruce has a very humble and wise perspective on his monumental place in rock history; despite his own enormous talents he doesn't hesitate to admit he benefited from an industry golden age whilst fully endorsing and empathising with new generations. He's an excellent example of how a rock star should age gracefully

[@laughaholic13]

“And you knowI love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee whisky” Taylor is probably overjoyed to hear this haha

[@azsxdcfvghjnkm428]

Also love how supportive he is of Jack Antanoff, their friendship is so wholesome

[@arthurwatts1680]

Springsteen fan since 77 and this is my take on it : the people who are still into music have artists like Swift, Halsey and Lana Del Ray - the rest can obsess over social media and image. History shows us which group of artists will still be making music 30 years from now.

[@evermorefilms.]

Those are three of my favorite artists!

[@marcmarc-zz2lm]

Hearing The Boss saying this melt my heart! I knew he was a good person, but to see him talking about other genres/artists in a good way is very good, I'm so happy.

[@agatonicaararacap4917]

I love Bruce music too and so Taylor ,even im soon 64 yrs old

[@mauriceortiz8817]

Refreshing to hear an elder icon not be bitter, like Madonna, and put down the younger artists.

[@monkeymanchronicles]

@Martin 1222 heretic?

[@oregonziggy2391]

It is nice to see. I am of the Bruce generation somewhat age wise. But I can certainly appreciate how talented Taylor is. Same with Dua Lipa and Halsey.

Billy Joel compared Taylor Swift to the Beatles. Many misunderstood what he was trying to say. Taylor Swift is a great artist among many artist in our days, just like the Beatles were the best artists among others in their days. I appreciate legends giving credit to young talented artists.

God bless music Icon Bruce Springsteen for recognizing & acknowledging Taylor's mastery & expertise with singing, songwriting & navigating business. At a time that can only be described as talentless mediocrity of so many performers in the music industry, Taylor Swift gives hope that there's still value and a future for poetic substance and harmonic melody.

[@ihatekillerclowns]

[@NickyWaters]

Bruce Springsteen saying he knows Jack Antonoff well is awesome, 'Chinatown' has got to be one of the best songs ever recorded

[@Siri_Duffa]

Damn, I hope I look that good at 73!

[@StargazingDragon]

It's cool to see amazing artists saying good thing about each other in a world that sometimes seems so competitive and arguably hostile.

[@jetrobertsdj]

The Boss and McCartney both have this same perspective of embracing good, new things. Words and music will always sound different, evolve, slam the brakes, hit the gas, experiment, become more complicated, and become more simplified. That's the beauty of expression. Bruce knows that. Curmudgeons only slow their own development and minimize their own life experiences.

[@ppgedez]

Bruce listening to Taylor Swift full volume while driving, now i would have loved to have seen that. 😂

[@frommetoyou1981]

The boss, what a guy! Love his cover of The Commodores 'Nightshift'...long may he continue.

[@missellis6561]

[@ClassicVideos80s]

There's twice as many people in the world compared to when Bruce was just starting. So there's huge Music making going on but it's not just funneled into radio now, it's fractured over many different mediums

[@JordansTake35]

What he said in the beginning is the most important thing. People don't cherish music the way they used to because there are so many forms of entertainment now. And once self driving cars become a thing, music will be largely dead compared to what it used to be.

Well things have changed and new styles have arrived but it also shows that people are very basic when it comes to entertainment and can listen too or watch fuzz on a TV and be fine with it lol rock creates a passage way to the soul that most other music can't do.

Because of this I'm willing to give her another try. I hated the first song of hers that they played a lot and I've dismissed her ever since. I respect the Bruce though.

[@ShainAndrews]

That's your takeaway.... How easily you are told what to think.
