Tegan and Sara played the "We Can Survive" charity concert with Katy Perry yesterday. Here's what Tegan had to say about her and when they performed with Taylor at one of her LA concerts a while back:
Quote:
How did this gig land on your doorstep? Katy has come to a couple of our shows, and we love that she is so involved with her audience and she attracts people who are awesome and she attracts a lot of women. A few months ago, the agent reached out to us and asked if we would be a part of it. We said ‘Absolutely,’ even before we found out who was involved. It was the first time I became aware of the Young Survival Coalition. We want to help an organization like that.
You recently performed with Taylor Swift at one of her L.A. shows. How did that come about? How does she reach out?
We heard that she was a fan and we were like, ‘No! No way.’ Then I saw a quote in Billboard and she said that she thought ‘Closer’ was a great song, and that we took a chance with [our album 'Heartthrob']. That was cool. Her people reached out, since she was having people perform with her in L.A. They asked if would we be interested in performing ‘Closer.’ It’s a testament to Taylor that she supports and loves her community. She is an articulate role model, like Katy, and they both represent different things. They are strong and wonderful women. I like how Taylor deals with her audience and how sincere she is. Whatever she likes, her fans are on board. She is a responsible performer and cultural person. We were thrilled to be asked and to get to know her. She was lovely. I love her music.
such nice people!
why would they praise Katy. I mean I know that they performed together, but still 
I need a collab gurls
