Taylor Swift took a moment to honor the late Aretha Franklin during her Reputation Stadium Tour show on Tuesday night.
The
Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, passed away earlier this month after
suffering from advanced pancreatic cancer at the age 76. She
currently lies at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American
History in Detroit. Taylor remembered her while she was performing in
Aretha’s hometown.
A
source revealed that Taylor was at the Ford Field Stadium, and took
to the stage to celebrate Aretha’s legacy just before opening the
third act of the concert.
The
28-year-old American singer called Aretha an irreplaceable force. She
went on to praise her by mentioning how much Aretha actually did for
music, for women’s rights, and for civil rights as well. She was
one of those people about whom any glowing positive thing said was an
understatement. Taylor went on to say that words could never, ever
describe how many things the singer did in her life that made this
world a better place.
The
crowd cheered when Taylor said this on the stage and she called her
fans for a moment of silence for the Queen of Soul. The singer stayed
silent for almost a minute and then concluded. After that, she
performed her next song, Delicate.
Aretha’s
funeral will take place on Friday at the Greater Grace Temple in
northwest Detroit. There will be an all-star memorial concert, which
will include the famous singers Ariana Grande, Stevie Wonder and
Faith Hill.
