Mick Jagger Glad to Pave the Way for Taylor Swift in Terms of Music Ownership, Stadium Tours

Taylor Swift might be the biggest artist in the planet in the present, but there were also musicians who paved the way for her to do what she's doing today.

More recently, legendary singer Mick Jagger expressed his admiration for the mega pop star as she continues to take charge and re-record her own music as well as perform at stadiums around the world.

The Rolling Stones member spoke with the Wall Street Journal in an interview where he opened up about how his band became the trailblazer in performing at massive venues that were originally designed for sporting events.

"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," he said.

Jagger added that during their prime years, there were no people who traveled and perform at stadium concerts.

Mick Jagger Admires Taylor Swift For Owning Her Own Music

Later on, the singer admired the pop superstar for her reclaiming her power and re-record her old albums in order to have the rights to her own music.

The reason why Jagger loved the idea was because the Stones also did it in the past.

Billboard reported that the musicians went on to establish their own label in 1970, but initially, they were under Atlantic Records to distribute their tracks.

"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," he said, adding that it still happens in the present, similar to Taylor Swift.

Although he clarified that he didn't know the "ins and outs" of what happened, he noted that the pop star wasn't happy.

The outlet noted that Jagger appeared to have referenced what the musician did to her music as she continues to re-record her previous six albums after having an issue with Big Machine Records.
