Taylor Swift Paid Tribute To Aretha Franklin At Detroit Show | Mathew & Priscilla In The Morning

Taylor Swift had her Reputation Stadium Tour stop in Detroit last night and she paid tribute to the late Aretha Franklin, days before her funeral.

"Last week we lost an irreplaceable force. Aretha Franklin did so much for music, did so much for women's rights, did so much for civil rights. She was one of those people where no matter what you said, no matter what glowing positive thing you said about her, it would be an understatement. Words could never, ever describe how many things she did in her lifetime that made our world a better place. And this is her home."

Taylor even led the audience in a moment of silence in honor of Aretha Franklin.

“She was one of those people where no matter what you said, no matter what glowing positive thing you said about her, it would be an understatement. Words could never, ever describe how many things she did in her lifetime that made our world a better place. And this is her home,” Taylor continued. “I would like it if we could have a moment of silence so that every single one of us could reflect on our love and respect for her and everything that she did in her life. So if we could please cut the lights, we’ll have a moment of silence for Aretha.”
