Jon Bon Jovi

Jon Bon Jovi didn’t mince words when discussing fellow superstar Taylor Swift in a recent interview – in fact, he has nothing but praise for the singer. Calling the 14-time Grammy winner “absolutely incredible,” the “It’s My Life” artist, 62, told Variety in an interview published on June 11 that Swift has “created an industry.” “She utilized what she does best,” Bon Jovi explained, emphasizing how Swift, 34, has always stayed true to her roots. “She sings like Taylor Swift. She plays guitar like Taylor Swift,” the musician— sounding almost like he was quoting her Tortured Poets Department song “Clara Bow” — added. “She’s not trying to be something that she’s not, and it is connected with an audience that is unique.” Swift and Bon Jovi have been peers in the industry for years. During his 2013 performance of “Livin’ on a Prayer” at Kensington Palace, Swift joined the “Runaway” rocker on stage — and brought Prince William right on up with her.
