Billy Joel admits he gained 'very cool dad points' thanks to Taylor Swift

Billy Joel looks to be the latest to be riding the Taylor Swift wave, using the pop icon to gain "very cool dad points" with his two youngest daughters.

The Piano Man singer, 74, has admitted TayTay, 33, helped him gain kudos with daughters Della Rose, 8, and Remy Anne, 6, after whisking them off to watch her Eras Tour in Tampa, Florida. However, going above and beyond, the veteran musician managed to secure more adulation from his youngest kids after even setting up a meeting with the Shake It Off star.

And he also shared he himself could well be a Swiftie, calling Taylor's performance "great". He gushed: "She's really very good. We're going to probably go see her again."

Billy was speaking to PEOPLE at the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame, where an exhibit crafted in his honour opened on Friday. The Uptown Girl singer first revealed he had attended the concert in an Instagram post shortly after the gig in April. He shared snaps of himself, his wife Alexis Roderick, and their two girls entering the stadium.

Alongside the sweet carousel of images, he wrote: "Rockin’ into our new ‘era’ thank you @Taylorswift we loved the show! #Swifties, #TaylorSwift #TheErasTour."

He later described the Taylor phenomenon as something that can only be compared to Beatlemania. It follows his 2021 comments to USA Today in which he provided a similar sentiment. At the time, he told the publication: "Taylor is also a very talented girl, and she's productive and keeps coming up with great concepts and songs, and she's huge," he said. "You have to give her high marks. She knows music, and she knows how to write. She's like that generation's Beatles."

Taylor is currently performing in Brazil and reports suggest she is getting ready to move her Travis Kelce relationship to the next level. The pair's whirlwind romance has captured the attention of the world since it first came to light in September and now a celebrity psychic and body language expert says the cards show the pair could about to get engaged.

Inbaal Honigman said: "Over the next few weeks, Taylor is very busy and Travis is very busy. The superstar has many engagements ahead, says the Major Arcana Tarot card called the Magician. Taylor has a lot on her plate and for much of that time, she won't be able to see her beau for more than a day or two, and she can accept that."

She went on to say the duo had been making "symbolic gestures to feel more together even when they're apart", adding that they're also "deciding on things to invest in, together", as per the 10 of Disks Tarot card.
