Mad love to our first string for making #repTourDetroit AMAZING last night 💥 pic.twitter.com/uLxQptnyH4— Taylor Nation (@taylornation13) August 29, 2018 Swift said words could never describe how many things Franklin did that made the world a better place. The pop star asked for a moment of silence so “every single one of us could reflect on our love and respect for her”. After asking for the lights to go out, Swift said: “We love you Aretha.” The public is paying respects to Franklin during a two-day viewing at a Detroit museum. Franklin, who died on August 16, will be laid to rest on Friday.
