With their 30th anniversary year kicking off with a blast, an epic UK tour firmly on the horizon, and a brand new US tour also just announced, pop punk legends Bowling For Soup have dug a long lost fan favourite out of the vaults to be their latest single.
Award Show Taylor Swift is a song of legend among Bowling For Soup fans. A long lost b-side which for the last several years has only existed on YouTube, BFS fans have long clamoured for the track to be released to a wider audience and easier access on streaming platforms. Today, it’s a case of ask and you shall receive!
Arguably the biggest star on the planet, Taylor Swift joins esteemed company such as Hollywood A-listers Brad Pitt and Val Kilmer, and WWE multi time women’s champion Alexa Bliss in receiving a Bowling For Soup song centred around her.
Award Show Taylor Swift can be streamed on your platform of choice on this link. Check out the lyric video for the track on YouTube below:
| Bowling For Soup main man Jaret Reddick explains how the song came to pass, and also makes it very clear that the song is in admiration of Taylor: “This song came to me as an idea from my long time friend and co-writer Zac Maloy. We were in the process of recording our album Lunch, Drunk, Love at the time, which wasn’t one of our super silly / happy albums when all was said and done. Regardless, we recorded this one and had a blast doing it. We even had fans in the studio when we were recording this song and the ladies got to try out to be the “Oh My Gawd” voice, which resulted in ALL the hilarity. I am excited to finally get this song released. It has lived on YOUTUBE for over 10 years.Keep in mind, this song isn’t a dig AT ALL. There is something beautiful about the positivity that Taylor has on the world. And she has done a LOT for artists at a time where things couldn’t be more uncertain! Thanks Ms. Swift! Enjoy!” – Jaret |

Following the February UK tour, Bowling For Soup will be making their first trip to Canada in over a decade, and holding a special long weekend celebration of their 30th anniversary in their home state of Texas. They will then return to the UK, making their first appearance on on the hallowed turf of Donington Park, as Bowling For Soup return to Download Festival in 2024 for their first Download in ten years.
Bowling For Soup’s appearances over the years at Download have resulted in many legendary sets (and the slaying of multiple inflatable sheep). After their last planned appearance in 2020 didn’t happen (thanks to global events), Jaret, Rob, Chris and Gary are delighted to be coming back in 2024!
Bowling For Soup can also now confirm they will be appearing on the main stage of Download 2024 on the Sunday. Tickets for Download are available now!
Download isn’t the only exciting thing on the Bowling For Soup agenda for June 2024. Once they’ve played Donington, Bowling For Soup will be heading across the Irish sea for two shows in Dublin and a show in Belfast. They’ll be at The Academy in Dublin on the 18th and 19th of June, and then head across the border to The Telegraph Building in Belfast on the 20th. Tickets for all Irish shows are on sale now.
