'Her persona on Tapestry feels like listening to a close friend intimately sharing the truths of her life so that you can discover the truths of your own. It feels like sage wisdom, gentle comfort, and reassurance that you aren’t alone in this life'
Photo: Getty Images Swifties descended upon this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony due to their high sonic priestess, Taylor Swift, performing on behalf of Düsseldorf kings Kraftwerk. Just kidding. Swift instead had the distinction of inducting her personal hero, Carole King, into the Hall, who’s now a two-time Famer following her previous songwriting honor in 1990.
The legacy of King’s virtuosic Tapestry, which recently hit the 50th anniversary mark, was woven into numerous parts of Swift’s speech; with its vast success and over 25 million copies sold, King became one of the most successful female artists in music history upon its release. “Her persona on Tapestry feels like listening to a close friend intimately sharing the truths of her life so that you can discover the truths of your own.
Swift began listening and dancing to King’s music at the age of 7, which she joked “had been crafted for my exact, specific life experience” at the time. However, flash-forward to the vulnerable Speak Now and Lover years, and the same “tingle of recognition” remained as an adult — only stronger. “Her songs speak to the true and honest feelings that everyone has felt, is currently feeling, or hopes to feel one day,” she continued.
