Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard took to the stage in drag for their third show at the Caverns Ampitheater in Grundy County, Tennessee this past weekend (June 3).The band’s performance, as noted by SPIN, came mere hours after a recent Tennessee state law banning public drag performances was officially deemed unconstitutional by a federal judge.
It was also reportedly “Pride Night” at the venue, as part of ongoing Pride Month celebrations around the world throughout June.“This ain’t no protest, baby,” guitarist Joey Walker said to the audience. “This is a celebration!” Vocalist/harmonica player Ambrose Kenny-Smith, meanwhile, joked that the set would be “the first and last time you’ll ever see [him] on stage in shorts”.The band also premiered a new song, entitled ‘Witchcraft’, during the performance – which can be viewed below:King Gizzard are the latest in a line of notable artists to either play their set in drag or otherwise speak out in protest of the state’s law since it came into effect while performing in Tennessee.
Yo La Tengo did the former in Nashville, while high-profile acts such as Taylor Swift, Hayley Williams and Lizzo have opted for the latter.Lizzo, during her Knoxville performance in late April, went one step further by bringing drag queens on-stage to perform with her. “What people are doing in Tennessee is giving hope,” the singer said during the show. “Thank you so much for standing up for your rights, protecting each other and holding the people accountable who should be protecting us.”King Gizzard are currently on a North American residency tour, where they are playing multiple shows in a city rather than going from place to place every night.
