“I love Fall Out Boy so much,” Swift told with Rolling Stone. “Their songwriting really influenced me, lyrically, maybe more than anyone else. They take a phrase and they twist it. ‘Loaded God complex/ Cock it and pull it’? When I heard that, I was like, ‘I’m dreaming’.”
Taylor and Fall Out Boy’s paths have crossed before this though. Just six years ago, they all teamed up to perform together at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Fall Out Boy and Taylor Swift performing together is the best and most iconic thing to ever happen in all of history.
