LISA of BLACKPINK Raves About Taylor Swift’s 3-Hour Eras Tour Show: ‘I Maybe Could Do It With a Lot of Practice’
As she embarks on her new solo era, LISA of BLACKPINK is taking notes from Taylor Swift.
In an interview published Monday (Aug. 12), Elle‘s latest cover star raved about the “Anti-Hero” singer’s global Eras Tour, which she saw when the trek stopped through Singapore in March. “She’s incredible!” LISA told the publication of Swift. “Singing alone on a stage for three and a half hours is crazy…I maybe could do it with a lot of practice.”
While at the Eras concert, LISA met the 14-time Grammy winner backstage and posed for pictures. “Had such a blast at The Eras Tour! Amazing performance @taylorswift,” she wrote on social media at the time alongside an emoji of a heart with an arrow through it.
The Thai singer-rapper is fresh off the release of “Rockstar,” which debuted at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July. She’s also already started teasing that her next solo track is on the way, posting a Y2K-inspired snippet on TikTok earlier this month.

Going forward, LISA will retain ownership of her solo master recordings thanks to a deal she signed with RCA Records in April in partnership with her own LLOUD company. Swift has had her own challenges in acquiring the masters to her first six albums, hence her “Taylor’s Version” re-recorded releases over the past couple years.
“I don’t think it’s easy for anyone to be able to get that,” LISA said of of owning one’s masters. “It feels like a dream. I’m not sure if it’s real or not.”
And though her solo era is in full swing, LISA also took a moment in the interview to assure fans that her work with bandmates ROSÉ, JISOO and JENNIE isn’t going anywhere. “Of course we’re continuing, for sure,” she said. “We’re so proud of BLACKPINK, and I love BLACKPINK. It is not just because of our fans, it’s for ourselves.”
