Taylor Swift voted the 8th best guitarist of the last two decades
Taylor Swift has been voted the eighth best guitarist of the last two decades in a new poll by UK guitar retailer guitarguitar. The study was commissioned to mark the retailer’s 20th anniversary as it launches a ‘Playable’ exhibition of special guitars to celebrate the most inspiring players.
While Swift isn’t widely known for her technical ability with a guitar, the fact that she regularly plays guitar on her record-breaking global Eras tour means she’s getting the six-string in front of millions of fans around the world, which is worthy of note.
