Social Media Revels in Tim Walz’s Varied Musical References, From Beyoncé and Taylor Swift to Prince and Bob Dylan


After he was named VP candidate, social media users quickly delved into Governor Tim Walz's musical references, from Taylor Swift to Prince.

Beyond vanity days, though, Walz put his fandom into legislative action by signing a “Taylor Swift bill” in law earlier this May, requiring increased transparency while purchasing tickets to live events. He posted a photo of four records he got at Minneapolis’ Electric Fetus, including the Moody Blues’ “Long Distance Voyager,” Steve Winwood’s “Arc of a Diver,” Genesis’ “Duke” and Warren Zevon’s “Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School.” And a few years prior, he posted that he was teaching his daughter Hope about “old school stereo setups.” “We’re sharing the joy of classic vinyl and Bob Seger. “Having produced artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Prince, the Replacements, Dessa, Atmosphere and Lizzo, the Minnesota music scene is a vibrant part of our cultural landscape,” reads the proclamation.
