Terry Bradshaw spins conspiracy theory on Taylor Swift's live concerts: "They're singing to tape"
Terry Bradshaw has a conspiracy theory around Taylor Swift, but it has nothing to do with Travis Kelce. Instead, the NFL analyst has a thought about her live concerts, which have taken the world by storm as she has sold out stadiums everywhere she's gone.
Bradshaw believes the songs are recorded and that Swift isn't actually singing in these concerts. He isn't sure it's even possible to do such a thing, as he said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd:
"Well, maybe you don't. You can't not run around a stage and sing live for three hours. No, nobody would probably admit that. But I do a show in Branson, do 20 shows at the Clay Cooper theater."
He continued, citing his own experience with live performances. He thinks that the sheer magnitude of Swift's concert means she couldn't possibly be singing and dancing and performing for three hours:
"And if I walk once, all the way to the right side of the stage. I'd take a break. It's too much man. And their songs are, you know, the whole shows are taped and yeah, they're singing to tape."
There are a couple of points to debunk this, though.
Is Terry Bradshaw right about Taylor Swift?
For what it's worth, there are a few key points of evidence that lend themselves to Taylor Swift's case. Terry Bradshaw, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, believes she's not singing live.
However, she thrilled fans by introducing a note change in her song the 1. That can't really be done unless she's live singing, and she didn't do it every single performance.
She also changes songs every once in a while. Some shows saw Nothing New and others received invisible string. It's not a completely constant setlist, so it would be difficult to record and rehearse all of them to lip-synch.
Furthermore, a part of her concert is the surprise songs. These are songs played that aren't on the setlist, two per show. These are pretty random, so again, it's probably too much to record and pretend to sing.
Finally, there are a few errors made during the songs that suggest a real authenticity. She's started over on a few songs after playing or singing incorrectly, which doesn't really happen with lip-synching.
It appears that the multi-time Super Bowl winner might not be right this time, which is very impressive on Swift's part.
