An unexpected collaboration: Why Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers made a surprise appearance on The 1975 tour
In 2022, British independent music group The 1975 embarked on their fourth tour, titled "At Their Very Best", a tour in support of their fifth album "Being Funny in a Foreign Language". The tour covered North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Oceania, with seven parts and 93 performances, and was widely acclaimed. Unexpectedly, the tour featured several celebrity guests, including Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers, sparking heated discussions in the music industry.
"This performance is not only a music show, but also a visual feast and artistic innovation."
Tour Background
The 1975 was originally scheduled to carry out the "Music for Cars" tour in 2021, but due to the epidemic, it could not go on as scheduled and was eventually cancelled. But they did not give up and announced on June 29, 2022 that they would release their new album "Being Funny in a Foreign Language". The album was officially released on October 14, and the North American dates of the tour were announced on August 3. As fans looked forward to it, the tour finally kicked off as they wished.
Performance Highlights
The show was written and directed by lead singer Matty Healy, and the stage design mimics the interior of a suburban home, using elements such as antique furniture to enhance the visual effect. The performance was divided into two parts, with the first exploring Healy's personal life and celebrity culture, and the second being a traditional The 1975 concert incorporating more past repertoire. This setting provokes deeper thinking, allowing the audience to reflect on current social issues while enjoying the music.
