Ballerina Misty Copeland Shares Unfiltered Opinion of Working With Taylor Swift
Everyone has an opinion when it comes to Taylor Swift. Whether it’s her music, the men she dates, or what she is like as a person, fellow celebrities can’t stop talking about Time’s 2023 Person of the Year. And ballerina Misty Copeland is the most recent star to share her unfiltered opinion of working with the pop superstar.
In 2019, the ballet dancer collaborated with Swift during the “Is It Over Now?” singer’s American Music Awards performance. The nearly 12-minute spectacle was like a mini Eras Tour; it featured a mashup of songs spanning her career.
You know, I have to say that Taylor Swift was one of the most humble, down to earth,” Copeland said during this week’s episode of Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? “You know she spent hours and hours just hanging out with me and my dance partner, Craig Hall, before the performances and was just so invested.”
At the 2019 American Music Awards, Swift was honored with the Artist of the Decade Award. Copeland and Hall were featured as Swift sang “Lover” from her album of the same name.
Copeland is merely the latest person in an endless stream of celebrities to offer insight about what Swift is like as a professional and as a person. Recently, her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s teammate, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, shared his opinion of the “Cruel Summer” songstress.
She was just so humble and so gracious,” he told EWTN News in Depth’s Mark Irons.
“I was a little nervous to meet Taylor Swift—I mean, it’s Taylor Swift,” he later added. “So maybe I am a Swiftie, if I was nervous to meet her. But it was a great experience, and I can’t say enough great things about her.”
