“Glasgow, you are looking good tonight. We are The Pretty Reckless and we have heard Glasgow is the craziest crowd in all of England.”
– Taylor Momsen, taking some time out of her concert to give a shout-out to the little English village of Glasgow.
Oh, Taylor, no. Not so much. I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt and propose that maybe she just got confused and said the wrong country’s name, but just because I don’t want to think that a 17-year-old doesn’t know where Glasgow is. That’s too sad, even for her.
Another zero interest post from ham thighs.
Haha, I love you Emily! I’m surprised she didn’t get stabbed after making that comment to Glaswegians.
I seem to recall that David Schwimmer from Friends was either headbutted or saw it happen to a friend when he first came to the UK for the Edinburgh Festival.
I am amazed that she made it out of there alive after saying that to the crowd. Although it is a lovely city with generally nice people they are not too keen on being thought English up there.
The only thing I can think of is that she confused the title Great Britian with England, or thought it wouldn’t matter because they are a part of the UK. Either way she’s twit.
She sounds like a typical idiotic 17 year old who is desperately trying to convince everyone (including herself) that she’s so much more mature and edgy than everyone else. She’s like one of those people who has a Ramones t-shirt in her closet, yet has never heard a single song they sang. It’s just faux edginess. Someone needs to smack that poor girl.
You know, I am horrified by how ignorant a lot of people (young AND OLD, by the way) are. But, at the same time, Glasgow is in the UK, and it’s on the same isle as England. It’s not as bad as saying, for example, that Glasgow is in Sweden.
Still…how does she make a statement like that in public without researching it first? Even if she were SUPER sure of her facts. I’m one of those people who neurotically plans conversations in advance when possible.
I agree.
She’s only a teenager, she probably has a crazy gruelling tour schedule with not a lot of room for sleep and she wouldnt be the first person to muddle up the whole england/britain/united kingdom thing. Weak post, chubby.
