He said: \u201cIt\u2019s probably total bulls***. In fact, it almost certainly is. An imagined memory! And I was a forceps delivery. I don\u2019t quite understand what that is. I think they had to pull me out with some pliers.\u201d<\/p>\n
McCartney opened up about the current state of the music industry and compared pop sensation Taylor Swift to the Beatles.<\/p>\n
The Yesterday star admitted he can see a \u201cparallel\u201d between Taylor and his band because she has achieved a level of fame comparable to the hysteria that surrounded the Fab Four in the mid-1960s. <\/p>\n
During an appearance on BBC show Tracks Of My Years, the musician was asked if he would give any advice to Taylor and he replied: ” You do see the parallel, you know the fame and the amount of fame and the worldwide fame that Taylor Swift has and that we had, but I don\u2019t think she needs any advice to tell you the truth … If she asked for it, I definitely would. I\u2019m like the older brother to that generation, or more like the granddad, actually.” <\/p>\n
McCartney went on to reveal he met Taylor Swift at a party organised by his wife Nancy Shevell and his daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney, which was also attended by a number of other female pop stars including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter – and the Beatles star admitted he was full of admiration for them all. <\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI did meet [her] … We had a party, my wife and my daughter Stella, are very good at getting cool people to a party and I ended up chatting to them all. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere was Taylor, there was Billie Eilish, there was Olivia Rodrigo, there was Sabrina Carpenter, you know they\u2019re really cool people, they\u2019re very good. <\/p>\n
\u201cI like their voices … If they need any advice, yeah, I would be happy to give it, but I don\u2019t think they do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He said: \u201cIt\u2019s probably total bulls***.
