Yungblud<\/strong> has no problem admitting he\u2019s a Swiftie at heart.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old rocker sat down with Bill Maher<\/strong> on the comedian\u2019s Club Random podcast<\/a> on Tuesday, October 7, when the conversation shifted to Taylor Swift<\/strong>\u2019<\/a>s music. While Maher admitted he has \u201cnothing against her\u201d but doesn\u2019t connect with her songs, Yungblud jumped in with a full-throated defense.<\/p>\n \u201cI f**king love\u201d Taylor\u2019s music, Yungblud said, explaining that some of her older tracks take him back to happy moments spent with his sisters. For him, Swift\u2019s catalog isn\u2019t just catchy pop \u2014 it\u2019s deeply tied to family memories.<\/p>\n When Maher took a playful jab at Swift\u2019s massively successful Eras Tour film, calling it \u201cendless,\u201d Yungblud didn\u2019t bite. Instead, the two found common ground, agreeing that not everyone has to share the same tastes in music \u2014 and that it\u2019s fine to acknowledge when an artist simply isn\u2019t your style. \u201cIt\u2019s perfectly fine not to like someone\u2019s music,\u201d Yungblud agreed, while making it clear that Swift\u2019s artistry resonates with him.<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/strong>Ozzy Osbourne Was \u2018Getting Ready to Off\u2019 Himself 4 Years Before Death<\/a><\/p>\n The unexpected endorsement comes as Swift continues her record-breaking year, fresh off the release of The Life of a Showgirl, which shattered Spotify\u2019s single-day streaming record earlier this month. Meanwhile, Yungblud has been busy promoting his own work while also reflecting on another major music influence in his life \u2014 the late Ozzy Osbourne<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n After the Black Sabbath frontman\u2019s passing in July, the British rocker honored him in a heartfelt Instagram post<\/a>, calling Osbourne \u201cthe greatest of all time.\u201d He wrote about their final meeting, recalling how \u201cyour laugh filled up the room\u201d and promising, \u201cI will never forget you \u2013 you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n The rocker also recently honored the late Osbourne during the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, joining Aerosmith\u2019s Steven Tyler<\/strong> and Joe Perry<\/strong>, along with guitarist Nuno Bettencourt<\/strong>, for a powerful rock tribute. The performance opened with a video montage introduced by Osbourne\u2019s son Jack<\/strong> and his daughters, before Yungblud kicked off the live performance by mimicking Osbourne\u2019s famous \u201cAll Aboard\u201d call. He then performed Black Sabbath classics \u201cChanges\u201d and \u201cCrazy Train\u201d before teaming up with Tyler and Perry on \u201cMama, I\u2019m Coming Home,\u201d earning thunderous applause from the crowd.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 8, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
