Torres’ Mackenzie Scott on Getting Out of Europe After the Coronavirus Travel Ban
On March 11, the United States initiated a travel ban from Europe to limit the spread of coronavirus, causing confusion and pandemonium. Around that same time, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Mackenzie Scott was in Berlin, playing one of the last shows of her European tour behind Silver Tongue, her fourth album as Torres. “It was really bizarre because we were having such a fun time,” she said over the phone on Tuesday (March 17). “Two weeks into touring, you’re finally starting to sound really tight. To have it just shut down like that is a bummer.”
