Taylor Swift Talks Tom Petty

Taylor Swift opened up to Rolling Stone about the passing of musician Tom Petty. The legend passed away this past Monday, October 2.

Taylor told the magazine, “To me, Tom Petty represented a kind of songwriting I idolized: complex simplicity. It said so much in the lyrics, the concepts, the stories, the message, the nuances … but always brought you back to a hook that got stuck in everyone’s head. He motivated thousands of guitarists to learn to play just because they wanted to be able to play ‘Free Fallin.” Count me as one of them.”

Many other celebrities took to their social media accounts to share their thoughts on his passing. Some, like Miley Cyrus, even paid honor to him by covering some of his songs over the past couple of days.
