Renowned performer and choreographer Todrick Hall recently expressed his admiration for a particular track from Taylor Swift’s acclaimed 2014 album, ‘1989’. Hall, who has previously collaborated with Swift on various projects, discussed his fondness for the song during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the opening night of *Cats: The Jellicle Ball* on Broadway, held on April 7.
When asked about his favourite Taylor Swift era, the 41-year-old made an unexpected choice by highlighting the song “Style”, a standout track from the ‘1989’ era. “One of my favourite songs is ‘Style’,” Hall stated enthusiastically. “Something about that guitar lick at the beginning of ‘Style’ just immediately transports me back to that place. I just love that song. I think it’s so well written and imaginative. I admire the way that Taylor tells stories through her music and lyrics,” he elaborated.
“Style” was released in 2014, a few years before Hall’s collaboration with Swift began. Their professional relationship formally kickstarted with Hall’s appearance as a backup dancer in the music video for “Look What You Made Me Do,” a single from Swift’s *Reputation* album, which launched in 2017. Additionally, Hall took on the role of co-executive producer for the vibrant “You Need to Calm Down” video from the 2019 *Lover* era.
In the behind-the-scenes footage from the making of “You Need to Calm Down,” Swift praised Hall’s unwavering dedication and creativity. “My friend Todrick is one of those people who is very generous with his effort and time; he would never ask for credit when he deserves it,” she noted while acknowledging his significant contributions to the video.
Hall has had a multifaceted career, showcasing his talents in various avenues of performance. Recently, he dressed as Lola for the musical *Kinky Boots*, further displaying his versatility as an artist. At the *Cats: The Jellicle Ball* opening, Hall reiterated his openness to exploring more stage opportunities in the future.
Speaking about potential projects, Hall revealed, “One of my favourite musicals is *Aida*.” This musical, which features music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice, first premiered on Broadway in 2000. Hall expressed his desire to be involved in any future revival, saying, “I would love to be a part of an *Aida* revival if that were ever to come back to Broadway.”
In addition to his recent performance in Broadway’s *Cats*, Hall has garnered attention for his work across various platforms, including directing a sold-out run of *Burlesque* in London. His creative pursuits continue to find exhilarating opportunities within the theatre and music industries.
As Todrick Hall thrives in his artistic journey, fans of both him and Taylor Swift can anticipate future collaborations and performances that showcase the brilliance and imagination of both artists.
