Billy Joel shares admiration for Taylor Swift after attending her record-breaking Eras Tour concert in Miami with his family.
Billy Joel, the legendary 75-year-old pianist, recently made headlines after attending Taylor Swift’s much-anticipated Eras Tour show in Miami. Accompanied by his wife, Alexis Roderick, and their two daughters, Della, 9, and Remy, 6, Joel experienced a night filled with music and excitement. The concert took place at the Hard Rock Stadium, a venue that has hosted numerous iconic performances, including the previous record-setting concert by Billy Joel and Elton John.
Following the concert, Joel took to Instagram to express his admiration for Swift, the talented singer behind the hit song “Anti-Hero.” In his heartfelt post, he shared, “Our family attended the Taylor Swift concert at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami where Billy Joel/Elton John’s Face to Face concert previously held the seating record.” He continued to highlight the significance of the event, stating, “Taylor’s second concert at Hard Rock Miami set a new record and ushered in a new era at Hard Rock Stadium. We were so happy to be a part of this record-breaking concert!”
The excitement didn’t stop there. Joel’s daughters were thrilled to meet their pop star role model, showcasing the impact that Swift has on young fans. The proud father noted, “She [Taylor] is showing our girls all that is possible,” emphasizing the inspirational role that Swift plays in the lives of many young girls. He concluded his post with a cheerful, “Onward and upward #swifties,” reflecting the positive energy of the evening.
This is not the first time Joel has taken his daughters to see Swift perform.

He praised Swift, stating that she was “great” and “really very good” in concert, further solidifying her reputation as a top-tier performer.
