Abby Lee Miller, of Dance Moms fame, has a few thoughts about Taylor Swift’s skillset.
On a recent episode of the infamous choreographer’s podcast, Leave it on the Dance Floor, she sat down with Crystal Hefner, where conversation eventually turned to the touring artist. Hefner recalled a previous conversation with Miller about the singer, leading the dance coach to interject, “Her boyfriend is a much better dancer!” She added jokingly, “Let’s leave it at that.”
Travis Kelce is, of course, well-known for his touchdown dances, showing off his moves each time he scores big. “He’s a great dancer,” Miller confirmed, doubling down on the admiration in the caption of the video. “I think he’s a natural! Most football players like to show off! He’s a showman with swagger at heart!”
When Hefner inquired how Swift could “fix that,” Miller determined that “it’s too late.”
She continued, “[But] I don’t think she’s worried about it; I don’t think that’s her top priority right now.”
She then assumed that Swift “probably think[s] that she should have danced as a kid,” though it’s worth noting that, while Swift has openly admitted that choreography is not her “strong suit,” she’s come a long way in her dance training, as opposed to, as Miller puts it, being “slumped over that guitar playing.”
Miller first issued criticism over Swift’s dancing after the music video for “Shake it Off” dropped in 2014, telling E! News at the time that the superstar “should have had the Abby Lee Miller Treatment as a child.”
Overall, it was a lot more gentle than she tends to be, especially after emphasizing, “I love Taylor Swift—I think she’s a great role model for the girls…”
