Activisionâs pop-ridden Guitar Hero spin-off Band Hero scores Taylor Swift as a playable character, and while I might not know who she is, she sure looks fine in polygons.
Swift is actually one of popâs finest songwriters, if Wikipedia and the New York Times are to be believed, regularly topping the country charts with songs like âThat One Taylor Swift Songâ and âOh Yeah, That oneâ. I mainly checked the Wiki entry to make sure she was old enough for me to comment on her looks, and with her 19 to my 36, thatâs probably a no. Still, her intentions are good!
âAnything that encourages people to pick up an instrument and play, Iâm fully behind. And, Iâm really excited about Band Hero, because not only are fans getting to play my songs, but Iâm actually in the game,â said Swift. âThere are so many awesome things that go into being in Band Hero, like getting to customize my band to look like my touring band, and itâs so cool for people to feel like they are experiencing one of my concerts. This is one of the closest things out there to going to see me perform!â
Band Hero will be giving 20 fans a chance to see Taylor Swift in concert, with details showing up in the near future on BandHero.com. Those of you interested in seeing her in concert are probably so disgusted with my ignorance that youâve stopped reading this already, but I am nothing if not thorough.
