And we don\u2019t just mean back when TPR were starting out, but even five years ago, when they last released an album, 2021\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerrang.com\/album-review-the-pretty-reckless-death-by-rock-and-roll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Death By Rock And Roll<\/a>. This is the result, it turns out, of keeping the company of giants \u2013 on July 26, it will be the third birthday in a row Taylor has spent on tour with AC\/DC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019d told the 15-year-old me that I\u2019d end up being in a band that would be opening for AC\/DC in stadiums across the world for years, I\u2019d have said, \u2018No way is that happening\u2019,\u201d she says now, laughing at her own understatement, before extolling the virtues of Live At Donington, the Aussie legends\u2019 live film recorded at 1991\u2019s Monsters Of Rock festival, in front of more than 70,000 people. <\/p>\n<p>Almost three years on the road has transformed Acca Dacca from heroes\/study subjects into close pals, allowing Taylor a peek behind the curtain of one of rock\u2019s most notorious bands. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey&#8217;re absolutely phenomenal,\u201d she beams, relishing the opportunity to confirm they\u2019re great guys. \u201cThey\u2019re so kind. They\u2019re so gracious. They\u2019re so down to earth in the best possible way. Getting to watch an AC\/DC show after you\u2019ve played your own show, it doesn\u2019t get any better than that.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Obviously, traversing the world with the authors of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Have A Drink On Me and Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Damnation raises expectations of some revelrous behaviour. But, apparently, the only beverage binged backstage is tea, and the only yarns spun are of the literal variety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned to crochet on tour with AC\/DC,\u201d Taylor proudly admits. \u201cSomeone from AC\/DC taught me to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hold the phone\u2026 someone from AC\/DC\u2019s camp taught you, or someone from AC\/DC?!<\/p>\n<p>Taylor thinks for a moment, aware she may be talking out of school. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019d kill me if I said who it was,\u201d she laughs. \u201cThere is the rule that what happens on the road stays on the road, so let\u2019s just go say someone in their camp\u2026 we\u2019ll just go with that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sitting in a photo studio in Hackney today, having spent the previous day sightseeing at the Tower Of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-620316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
