There\u2019s no doubt that Taylor Swift rules the music industry at the moment and her Eras Tour opening act Girl in Red shared the reality of working with such an icon.<\/p>\n
Girl in Red, real name Marie Ulven Ringheim, previously named Taylor as one of her biggest musical influences and opened for several shows during the US leg of the Eras Tour.<\/p>\n
Marie, a relatively new artist from Norway, was shocked when the Ronan singer revealed her love for her debut album If I Could Make It Go Quiet.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old sent a copy of the album to her icon and in a whirlwind moment became one of the opening acts for the Eras Tour US leg.<\/p>\n
Taylor may be a major star but Marie shared how the 33-year-old was so kind and hard working, leading to her new motto inspired by the 12-time Grammy winner.<\/p>\n
\u2018I have this new saying, which is what would Taylor do?\u2019 Marie told Metro.co.uk<\/strong> in an exclusive chat during All Points East festival.<\/p>\n Since rising to prominence in 2018 with self-released singles, girl in red now has almost 13,000,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.<\/p>\n \u2018It was the coolest thing ever,\u2019 she said of the Eras Tour. \u2018I\u2019m super, super grateful that she wanted to have me on her tour. <\/p>\n \u2018The best part was seeing the show every single night.\u2019<\/p>\n Taylor has announced her Eras Tour will be made into a self-released film, which has already broken box office records \u2013 along with the August singer\u2019s many other records.<\/p>\n She\u2019s bringing her mammoth three and a half hour show to the UK and Europe next year, with hotels for major cities selling out already.<\/p>\n Marie was honoured to witness how hard the most listened to person on Spotify works, taking all the lessons she could from the shows.<\/p>\n \u2018What I took away is her work ethic and just be kind to everyone in your crew, be kind to everyone around you,\u2019 Marie shared.<\/p>\n Marie joked that that\u2019s not to say she\u2019s normally mean, adding that she will always message and thank her crew for their hard work.<\/p>\n She added that \u2018Taylor never complains\u2019, instead she just finds a solution and works through issues \u2013 something Marie really admires.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ct7InMBsSvy\/<\/p>\n Marie continued: \u2018She\u2019s just incredible, it was amazing being able to be there and have that opportunity but also witnessing her and how hard she works.\u2019<\/p>\n However, fame doesn\u2019t come without naysayers and Marie had some strong opinions of those who don\u2019t see Taylor\u2019s stardom.<\/p>\n Defending her mentor, Marie continued: \u2018She makes the best music \u2013 well that\u2019s objective \u2013 but she makes really good music which a lot of people care about. It means a lot to a lot of people. <\/p>\n \u2018People can say whatever they want to say but if you don\u2019t acknowledge that she is on top of the world, I definitely think you have some issues. <\/p>\n \u2018If you can\u2019t you can\u2019t see that, something\u2019s wrong.\u2019<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/metro-parent\/img\/fallback.png\")
