What happened

Taylor Swift is firmly in the pop music space, but that doesn't mean she can't appreciate some legendary classic rock.

Why it matters

Amid Swift promoting her new song for "Toy Story 5," which is dropping later this week, the future wife of Travis Kelce also took to social media to pay tribute to a classic rock artist who she says inspires her.

Common ground

On Tuesday night, June 2, Swift took to her Instagram Story to give major props to Beatles legend Paul McCartney on his new album, "The Boys of Dungeon Lane," which arrived on Friday, May 29.

Perspective signals
