On the surface, it would be hard to see any parallels between Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger, 80, and Taylor Swift, 33, aside from the fact that both are mega stars who send people into a frenzy when they walk into a room. But in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal (pay-walled), the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer revealed that he feels a certain kinship with the “Anti-Hero” singer when it comes to the business of show.
London School of Economics dropout Jagger — who said he began looking after the Stones’ business affairs decades ago as an “act of self-preservation” because, as he said, “If you don’t do it, you get f–ked” — told the WSJ that he’s proud to have paved the way for artists such as Swift to pull off huge arena and stadium tours.
“One of the things I’m really proud of, with the Stones, is that we pioneered arena tours, with their own stage, with their own sound and everything, and we also did the same with stadiums,” Jagger said. “I mean, nobody did a tour of stadiums.” In addition, Jagger said that the Stones’ decision to form their own eponymous label in 1970 — with initial distribution though Atlantic Records — was an effort to take control of their rights that also has echoes in Swift’s career.
“The industry was so nascent, it didn’t have the support and the amount of people that are on tap to be able to advise you as they do now,” Jagger said of his band’s move toward more autonomy more than 50 years ago. “But you know, it still happens. I mean, look what happened to Taylor Swift! I don’t really know the ins and outs of it, but she obviously wasn’t happy.”
Jagger appeared to be referencing Swift’s plan to re-record her first six albums in (Taylor’s Version) formats following a dispute with her former label, Big Machine Records, after it sold the rights to those LPs to nemesis Scooter Braun; to date Swift has released re-recorded versions of Fearless, Red and Speak Now, with the 1989 Version slated to drop on Oct. 27.
The Stones are gearing up to release their first new studio album in 18 years, Hackney Diamonds (Oct. 20) and while the legendarily hard-touring band have yet to announce dates for an accompanying tour, Jagger said he’s not sure what it will look like when the octogenarian legends finally retire from the road.
“You can have a posthumous business now, can’t you? You can have a posthumous tour,” he said of the possibility of a virtual Stones tour in the future that will not require their physical bodies. “The technology has really moved on since the ABBA thing [the pop group’s recent “Voyage” virtual show], which I was supposed to go to, but I missed it.”

One person was arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon after the evening shooting, Oklahoma City police Lt. Jeff Cooper said Sunday. Police initially took two people into custody but Cooper said one of them was later released.
Police have not yet released the suspect’s name.
The injured person was taken to the hospital and remained in critical condition Sunday, police said.
The shooting happened at an event center on the fairgrounds. Capt. Valerie Littlejohn said that after the initial shooting, someone fired some rounds into the air as people started running.
Guns are prohibited on the fairgrounds, and there are security and detectors at entrances, police said.
Motley Crue‘s Vince Neil, on the Saturday night lineup with an 8 p.m. start time, was mid-performance at the fair’s nearby Chickasaw Country Entertainment Stage when the incident occurred. He wrote about the alarming experience on his X (formerly Twitter) account Sunday afternoon.
“At a concert in Oklahoma City Crazy night last night. 3/4 of the way thru the set people started running,” Neil said. “We were told to get in [the] dressing room. There were shooters shooting people.”
“Thank you fans for your understanding,” he added, addressing those who were at the fair and didn’t get his full set.
In another message, Neil wrote, “Thankfully we are all okay! Thanks to everyone who came out. Please stay safe!”

Noah Kahan has had quite the year. Last October, the singer-songwriter released his third album Stick Season, a project that ushered in a sonic shift for the artist away from pop and into folk music — and set him on the fast-track to global acclaim.
The album debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard 200; In June, Kahan released its deluxe edition, Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever), which shot the album up to a No. 3 peak on the chart. The deluxe also topped a handful of genre-based charts, including Top Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums and Americana/Folk Albums.
“It’s been an unbelievable year-and-a-half now … a whirlwind of attention and wonderful outpouring of love from fans,” says Kahan. He recalls making Stick Season through the pandemic, saying, “There was a feeling in the studio of like, ‘Woah, this is something special.’ I felt so creatively in control … and I think, at the time, I couldn’t see that as a sign of success or relatability, it just felt so right for me that I was fine with whatever happened.”
In July, Kahan delivered yet another gift to fans with his Post Malone collaboration on standout single “Dial Drunk.” And while Kahan says he didn’t get a chance to play beer pong with the champ (“I got to watch him play, there was a big line … I was a little starstruck”) he says their first meeting was “exactly what I wanted an experience with Post Malone to be; he was sitting crossed-legged, drinking Bud Lights [and] smoking cigarettes.”
The pair bonded over their love of the comedy Walk Hard and Kahan confirms “the hang is not over.” As he says, “I would love to get in the room and write music with him [together from scratch]. What I love about [him] is he is so untethered by genre…I would love to make some weird shit.”
Looking ahead, Kahan has already completed his two biggest goals: be verified on Instagram and have a Wikipedia page. Still, he has one other major project in the works. His nonprofit the Busyhead Project, which he founded with his managers in May and is named after his 2019 debut album Busyhead, is on track to raise $1 million for mental health organizations across country and in Canada. “That is definitely a goal,” he says.
