      <title>Kendrick Lamar show leads to musical collaboration between Griff and Taylor Swift</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330363613/kendrick-lamar-show-leads-to-musical-collaboration-between-griff-and-taylor-swift</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;British pop star Griff revealed that her upcoming role as the opening act for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London on June 22 can be traced back to a chance encounter at a Kendrick Lamar concert in November 2022.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I bumped into Taylor at a Kendrick Lamar concert in London. It was surreal,” Griff recounted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We spoke a little, and she mentioned that at some point she would love to have me [as an opener on tour one day]. I was dying.”, Griff stated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The initial meeting at the Kendrick Lamar show seemingly sparked a musical friendship between the two artists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Months later, Swift further demonstrated her support for Griff by sharing the singer’s song “Vertigo” on her Instagram story, heightening the anticipation for a potential collaboration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Griff, who had previously met Swift backstage at the 2021 BRIT Awards, is particularly excited to perform “Vertigo” on the Eras Tour, knowing that the pop superstar is a fan of her work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Fearless was the first album I remember falling in love with as a kid. I’m always so inspired by how she can have such a huge career but stay so close to the songwriting process,” Griff expressed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The “Miss Me Too” singer is “very excited” for the June 22 show and feels “forever eternally grateful” to Swift and her fans for the warm welcome and opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;
