Vince Gill Declares His Greatest Support for Unfairly Treated Taylor Swift
Criticism is often a precursor to superstar fame, a reality that Vince Gill probably understands all too well. The ‘Threaten Me With Heaven’ singer says he thinks Taylor Swift has endured unfair criticism and has gone on the record to defend his fellow country music superstar.
“She’s hitting the big home run – it’s so neat to see,” Gill says of his adoration for Swift (quote via Country Music Tattle Tale). “She has a great way of connecting with people, and I love seeing that. I love her to death.”
The 20-time Grammy Award winner adds, “She gets beat up a lot, unfairly so. I’m actually a great supporter of hers.”
Gill lost the 2012 Grammy for “Best Country Song” to Taylor Swift. He was nominated for “Threaten Me With Heaven,” but ultimately Taylor took home the trophy for her hit song “Mean.” What did Vince think of losing to Ms. Swift?
“I got nominated last year for Song of the Year, and got beat by Taylor. That was great – I like that kid.”
Vince Gill is one of those guys who is not a fraud. What a guy. And what nice words he has.
Amazing how the legends, the underdogs, and some alternative guys still sticking to her.
Bring back Liz.
