NFL Hall of Fame QB Terry Bradshaw Argues Taylor Swift Doesn't Sing Live at Her Shows

By Maire Clayton October 27, 2023 at 12:44pm

Legendary quarterback Terry Bradshaw has probably ruffled the feathers of Swifties after saying he believes that pop star Taylor Swift may not always be singing live during her concerts.

Ever since it was revealed Swift is in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she has dominated the sports headlines.

While appearing on “The Herd” Monday, host Colin Cowherd asked Bradshaw how Swift is able to sing for a long duration of time — referencing her “Eras Tour” where the singer covers 17 years of music over roughly three hours.

“Maybe you don’t,” Bradshaw coyly said.

“You cannot run around a stage and sing live [for three hours],” the four-time Super Bowl champ continued.

“Nobody will probably admit that, but I do a show in Branson [Missouri], I do 20 shows at the Clay Cooper Theater.

“And if I walk once all the way to the right side of the stage, I have to take a break,” the 75-year-old said with a laugh.

While Bradshaw’s one-man show is very different from Swift’s highly choreographed concerts, he noted that the late Freddie Mercury of “Queen” is the only artist that he thinks could both sing and “run everywhere” while on stage.

“And I’m sure Taylor and a lot of these really choreographed shows, a lot of that, they’re singing live to tape, so the tape’s going on and they’re singing, and if something happens to the tape, then boom.”

Bradshaw did add, “I’m just guessing.”

While he floated the idea the 33-year-old could be using a backing track, he did praise the singer for her songwriting ability.

The “Karma” singer held the top spot for her “Eras Tour” concert film in theaters, according to Deadline.

TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR is a phenomenal concert film. Here’s the trailer. Opens Oct 13 at all U.S. AMC Theatres. Only $19.89 adults, $13.13 children/seniors, plus tax.

It has become the highest-grossing concert film and has already made roughly $179 million worldwide.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

What if you woke up one morning and half of the people you count on had just vanished overnight?

That happened to me recently. I got up, came to work here at The Western Journal, and when I got to my office, literally half of our readers had vanished. They were just gone. We had been nuked by Facebook, and it had happened almost instantly.

But it was even worse. Facebook hit us at the same time 90 percent of advertisers had essentially boycotted us. "Brutal" is a word I’ve used a lot lately.

The fight for the truth is brutal. The fight for America’s soul is brutal. What the government is doing to Jan. 6 detainees is brutal. What surgeons are doing to confused children is brutal.

It’s a fight we must win. But we can’t win without you.

A subscription to The Western Journal will go much farther than you think. It costs less than a cup of Starbucks coffee, and for that small price you get access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles — you’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight against leftism.

Can I count on you to subscribe today? We need your help. Benjamin Franklin summed up the situation we're all facing when he said, “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

We plan to hang in and fight. Please help us. Please subscribe today.

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
