Guarantee no one will know who Taylor Swift was in 5 years. I've seen better duets on High School stages.

Really? She's an extremely successful international superstar. She writes her own material and she's very wealthy and runs her own corporation at an extremely young age. Much younger than the Stones were. She's not my cup of tea but maybe you're right, no one will know who Taylor Swift WAS in 5 years. Of course they'll be quite aware of who she IS.

right on 24FPS she's already a veteran performer and has structured her performances to give maximum entertainment..really think her staging is good, i've seen her live dvd...my daughter is a fan, she's 12...

she'll be around for awhile. she might not be the greatest singer but she goes out of her way for her fans..

I wonder if Mick goes around humming, singing under his breath, "Lets give them something to talk about" right before he picks the guest artist du jour?

Anyone remember the TV documentary,when Mick says he walks around his gardens in South of France singing ''Brown Sugar'' to himself.

He said he just likes the song.

Her fans will grow up, she is as disposable as Debbie Gibson or Irene Cara.

Both songwriters and were mega stars for teens. Debbie Gibson was a bigger star than Swift and set fashion styles. LuLu is timeless, never forgotten. Look at Faith Hill, more beautiful, better voice, no one cares because she's run her course..

Well at least he's not a dead bluesman!

Reminds me of when Mick said at the Trabendo "You'd think that some of us whould be sitting now, but we're not"...yes I know it's an acoustic song but had the guitar players been seated on stage before?

She looks like she's 14. She writes songs like she's still 14, too. Jimmy Savile would have loved her, even if she is legal.

Reading all the Taylor Swift hate here, it took up probably 80% of the posts here before, during and well after the show.

I've always knows that there's a great deal of old, crumpy, misogynists that post here. And predictably, a lot of this bile sounds like classic, woman-hating nerds venting - just like any other female guest The Stones are rolling out.

Without question, a lot of fans here are clearly on the obsessive-side of things, talking Stones fandom to an unhealthy level not unlike extreme Star Trek geeks. To all of you haters - who make it embarrassing for me to be a Stones Fan by association - I'll say this.

It's not Taylor Swift's fault that your mother was over-bearing and/or you didn't get laid in high school.

I'm not sure why some people pull the misogyny/sexism card in regards to TS critics, and oddly enough, the people doing that tend to be men. I think if you ask most women, they'd say that it's misogyny/sexism that a person like Taylor Swift is such a huge success when more talented women in the music business haven't done as well as she has. It could be those women in music haven't done as well because they're not as cute as Taylor. There are men in music who don't do as well as Justin Bieber because they don't look like Justin Bieber. However, it seems to be okay for men to say Justin Bieber would be a bad choice for a duet partner. Maybe they're just jealous of Beebs' cute face.

Another morning to check out what happened in the US previous night. But to follow the tour from the point of view of internet is a bit selective and random-like... So as usual, most of it just to check three things: (a) How much Taylor; (b) other guests; (c) any surprises in set list.

So, nice to see we got Taylor in "Sway" again. Looking for an evidence now...

Seemingly the guest last night caused some controversy here. I don't know who she is, I guess a hot pop star of the day, who have sold lot of albums in America, and there she was (to quote Dean Martin loosely). Surely it was a good move economically, taking the all sides involved (The Stones, AEG, and her - whose name just escaped my mind), but I am bit skeptical if the way to be "contemporary" - as mr. M indicated - is to take a current hit-maker to perform with them, and doing some 50 years old song of theirs... But personally I like their habit of to pick some current names to ice the cake, and make individual shows more expectional and unique - there aren't many surprises otherwise (minus the "other" Taylor - there was a Rolling Stone name in her name, right?)

But that aside. if I may just to talk about the performance. From the base of that clip, I think it was a nice version. I especially liked Jagger's introduction, and a a gentleman like refrernce to her old muse. And as a singer, Mick is incredibly skilled these days to do ballads (which he don't do very often unfortunately). Reaching the right notes, with a right interpretation, sounds almost unbelievable, taking the fact that he is not a young dude either. He is actually better in that than he was in his twenties and thirties. The girl did her thing nicely as well, and she seemingly inspired Jagger. What is phenomenal with Jagger that he seeminlgly approaches his young guests as a challange, and makes sure that he never is left to play with the second fiddle. He could take the role of "hey. aren't you lucky to perform with me, and showing me respect, and let me just enjoy your admiration", but that's not Jagger, because... he is Mick Jagger!

The rest guys did okay - there is always something sentimental going on when Keith Richards sits down and just play the acoustics with his idiosyncratic touch, which is marinated by the years and years experience. The same as with "Lady Jane" last year. The point of him being sloppy etc. do not have any meaning in that context - besides, he did a nice job.

Taking altogether, I think the version of "As Tears Go By" showed a nice warm touch of matured nostalgia.

But let me repeat my original point - this it is how it looks like thousands miles away, and via net - for the people who actually were there, it was another animal altogether I am sure.

PS: You've never heard of Taylor Swift?? My 11 year old daughter plays her all day long. "Why is she singing with those old geezers, daddy?", she asked me yesterday

I'll admit Taylor Swift was the first 'guest' I was openly skeptical about but I think the clip is great and song choice excellent.

For those goobers talking about her 'screetching'...I think they'll say anything to try to make a point.

Looks can sure help make or break an artist. The stones accepted Andrew's idea of ditching Ian Stewart because he didn't look right. Shallow bastards.

Bieber is a bad pairing on paper, just like Swift was, but it worked onstage and so might Bieber.

I kinda hope they do end up with Bieber onstage if for nothing else than to just wind people up.

They probably would have if he wasn't on tour...
