Joshua Tillman aka Father John Misty says he had a ‘psychedelic’ experience watching Taylor Swift’s 1989 tour.

The Rolling Stones or The Grateful Dead might spring to mind when it comes to hazy stories of experimental drugs at gigs, but it seems the baton has been passed to Taylor Swift, after former Fleet Foxes drummer Father John Misty took LSD during one of her shows.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Misty/Tillman has said he met ‘a bunch of people in [Swift’s] crew’ at a bar in Melbourne who invited him to one of her shows. From there, he a took a ‘hero’s dose’ of LSD once he was at the gig.

His description of the experience is, frankly, incredible.




‘It was holy,’ he said. ‘It was psychedelic. She fully impregnated my dilated soul with her ideology. I remember laughing uncontrollably. I remember going outside for a smoke and thinking, “I need to get back in there.”’

But then things got a little bit deep.

‘There was a disturbing aspect, this insistence on telling girls, “I’m normal, don’t let anyone tell you what you should be.” If you wanted to curate an evening with the Grand Leader, this is what you would do.

‘It’s a very, very false normal. And that’s dangerous.’

Wait, is he taking a pop at Taylor Swift? Or is that the LSD talking again?

Father John Misty was recently seen looking supposedly disappointed at The Brits 2016, after losing out to Justin Bieber for Best International Male.
