Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan Calls Taylor Swift ‘Gifted,’ Defends Length of ‘Tortured Poets’


Taylor Swift was praised by the Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, who called the pop star "gifted." Get the details.

In an Irish Times interview published Monday (June 3), the Smashing Pumpkins frontman defended the pop star’s polarizing decision to include a whopping 31 songs on her latest project, giving her high praise in the process. It also made Swift the first artist to ever occupy every spot of the Billboard Hot 100 top 14 at once, led by chart-topper “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone.
