Further, the American singer-songwriter shifted his attention to bringing to light his admiration for Taylor Swift and how she was one of his ‘fab four of this generation.’

“She’s huge and keeps coming up with songs that appeal to a vast audience. She knows her music well, she knows how to write. It’s like she’s this generation’s Beatles. “

Taylor Deserves High Marks

Billy also seemed to register how popular Taylor was among the younger generation of the world and how it is essential to ‘give her high marks’ since she knows her music in and out.

It looks like this whole lot of appreciation was too much to take for the eleven time-Grammy award winner. “It honestly just broke my brain. I don’t know how to process this because it does not even seem like a real thing.”

Taylor did not refrain from further adding how much she looks up to and appreciates Joel and his contributions to the music industry. The ‘Willow’ singer said: “I might have hallucinated or something because it means a lot coming from him. I am a huge fan of his work.”

Taylor also said that it was so unreal for her that she ‘needed a video’ to really believe that it had indeed happened. Joel, too, has been the subject of great appreciation from phenomenon artists like Olivia Rodrigo and BTS.
