"RENAISSANCE: A Film By Beyoncé" hit theaters on Dec. 1, and the night before, Queen Bey attended a star-studded premiere in London. Taylor Swift, who debuted her own concert film earlier this year and received support from Beyoncé, was in attendance.
Swift shared a shot of herself and Beyoncé tossing popcorn at the Los Angeles premiere for "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" movie in October, writing: "I'm so glad I'll never know what my life would've been like without @beyonce's influence. The way she's taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms."
Swift said in the Instagram post that Beyoncé has a "generosity of spirit," and "resilience and versatility."
The story of America can be told through the lyrics of folk music – songs of the Great Depression, the civil rights era, and the social revolutions of the 1960s. As folk singer Pete Seeger put it in 1967, "A song isn't a speech; a song is not an editorial. If a song tries to be an editorial or a speech, often it fails as a song. The best songs tell a story, paint a picture, and leave the conclusion up actually to the listener."
