If Taylor Swift is working overtime — three and a half hours per show, to be exact — on her blockbuster Eras Tour, then blame it on the Boss.
According to no less than Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen is responsible for this concert season’s trend of marathon shows — stretching three hours and beyond — put on by everyone from Swift and Beyoncé to the “Born to Run” rocker himself.
“I blame Bruce Springsteen,” McCartney, 80, joked about the New Jersey legend’s famously epic-length concerts, during a talk with Conan O’Brien at NYC’s Tribeca Performing Arts Center on Thursday night. “I told him so. I said, ‘It’s your fault!’
“He ruined it for everyone!” McCartney continued during the conversation, which was part of the Tribeca Festival. “He did! We used to do a half hour. That was, like, The Beatles’ thing — and we got paid for it.”
This summer, though, a half hour would barely cover one of the Eras — representing all 10 of Swift’s studio albums — on the “Shake It Off” singer’s titanic trek.
