Taylor Swift’s Songwriting Process on ‘evermore’ | Apple Music
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 12. 2020
- Apple Music’s Songwriter of the Year, Taylor Swift, has been one of music’s preeminent and most decorated songwriters for more than a decade. With her latest records, the surprise-releases ‘folklore’ and ‘evermore,’ she laid bare the magic behind, perhaps, her biggest strength. Ditching the big, radio-ready, chart-topping sparkle of her past releases for bare-bones indie-folk instrumentation, stripping her songs down to the very studs. Watch as she sits down with Zane Lowe for the 2020 Apple Music Awards: apple.co/-Awards20
The Apple Music Awards honor achievements in music across five distinct categories, and winners are chosen through a process that reflects both Apple Music’s editorial perspective and what listeners around the world are loving most. The winners for global Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Breakthrough Artist of the Year were hand-selected by Apple Music’s global editorial team of world-class experts and tastemakers, and the awards for Top Song of the Year and Top Album of the Year are based on streaming data that is reflective of what Apple Music subscribers have been listening to this year.

#TaylorSwift #Evermore #AppleMusic - Hudba
Taylor released an album, the long pond documentary, another album, re-recorded old music, and is doing promo in quarantine and I am yet to turn in one history assignment
SAME LOL
English, but yeah 😂😂😂
Same😭
same haha, cultural studies though
remember that Taylor is a proffesional, and also that this is not only her job but something she loves to do and does because she wants to, not has to ccc: this is a hard time, don't be too harsh on yourself
This man is so extremely respectful of her and what she's saying throughout this entire interview. Thank you for being so kind to her, not probing her, and allowing her to speak!
THIS
i love when interviewers are genuine fans of the artists they’re talking to. it’s so clear how much respect he has for her
👏👏👏👏
💗
exactly! also I love that he's actually listening to Taylor's answers and carries on the conversation instead of just ticking of questions!
Don't you love hour long interviews with artists where they talk about THE MUSIC? Not who they're dating, not about the tea, not about luxuries or frivolous things. They talk about MUSIC.
I freaking love this. I
Yesss
Exactly
Yes!! So true! The interviewer really understood the music and asked the questions we didn’t know we needed to hear - it was sooo satisfying!
So true ❤️
Of course he’s allowing her to speak why you are saying this words like taylor is a new artist.Its not a favor or blessing that he is doing.I feel a little sexism in your comment
The most comfort interview I've ever seen. No flirt, no jokes, no sarcasm, no shade, just about her music.
yesssssss
Exactly
Taylor Swift IS the music industry.
PERIOD
Period!!!!!
Yes !!! 👏
👏🏼ya
Yes
finally everyone is acknowledging Taylor Swift as a real artist
not pop artist
not country artist
just artist
Yeah people who are on drugs. I'm not saying she doesn't have any Talent I'm saying she can't sing

@@nihatahmadli4868 seriously don't lie how old are you 12
This interview is an hour long but somehow I wish it was longer. She’s so intelligent and talks about her songwriting so well and Zane is so respectful and asks the right kind of questions which must be asked to an artist which are about their music and not about their dating life or whether their getting married etc etc
Me too 😥

I think Taylor is actually said she enjoys speaking with Zane because these reasons your he's an industry Insider so he stays professional he doesn't ask all the gossip questions
Love long form content.. It actually makes us know the person more deeply
I feel bad for everyone who doesn’t stan Taylor. Imagining missing out on this?
yup
Hi, i like your channel
I didn't for a long time. And yes, I feel I missed so much.
@@aleksandrap.5088 same. How embarrassing for us 😭
Oh but so many love to just hate her.
Zane Lowe should be the only person who should interview celebrities. He is soo respectful!
Exactly, so respectful and thoughtful
Agreed
him and zach sang are really respectful! i appreciate it abt them both! :)
And Zach Sang. 🤩
Exactly
The most intelligent, intuitive interviewer. Zane reminds me of The Rolling Stone interviewers of the 70s who actually loved music more than their own bylines. I would read his book, if he writes one. Brilliant man.
Right?? He’s so amazing. Love him. 💚
Truly! I love how calm and introspective he is. Really asked questions that that were insightful to knowing Taylor’s thoughts and opinions, beyond the typical, shallow questions of “who was this song about or inspired by” etc etc ♥️
To be fair/honest I actually think he's a bit sycophantic myself (he can't honestly believe every pop artist he interviews has released the coolest album ever) THAT BEING SAID his style has a way of messaging and making artists feel comfortable enough to provide him with some in-depth insights in ways they might not in more confrontational interviews. In short, his job is really to make artists feel like they're taking to a friend/confident who truly appreciates their craft and talent as an artist. He's not going to prob, poke and prod in ways that are directly confrontational or stressfully challenging, but he'll lead you along the well-worn path until you're comfortable enough to get into the weeds when he gently tries to push you in that more uncomfortable direction. And if that's his job, no arguments from me, he does it well which is why his interviews are worth listening to. Let the other journos do that other work.
TRUE
@@kiroolioneaver8532 of course. some of the artists he has talked to did not release the most brilliant work, but he has a way of asking the right questions. However, in this case, I truly feel like he was invested in the album and actually connected to the songs. But who knows

Yes i love that. We still get to know about the song writing process without it being intrusive and over stepping.

Zane is literally one of the best interviewers in the game. Like wow these questions are so thoughtful and interesting.
He choked up a little trying to bring the conversation to "marjorie"

And they’re not just questions, it’s seriously deep discussion. He has amazing input, sometimes even better than the artist themselves. I love his interviews with paramore/Hayley Williams.
Really great! Well researched and compassionate. Loved him BBC radio1 as well
I hope I have the honor of being interviewed by him someday.
Taylor gained a new fan this year. Big respect to this woman. She’s a great songwriter and obviously thinks a lot about her craft and her artistry. How can you knock it?
yessss, greg! we stan a swiftie! welcome to the fandom!
welcome to the fandom :))
New swiftie here too! o/
i was with her since 2018, but....yeaaaaaa i think she gained 13 billion fans, both human, and cat (and train apparently)
ive been a fan since 2014 but after this im a whole swiffer
I love it when an interviewer unpack this side of Taylor. She's such a brilliant artist, but some interviewers are so shallow with their questions that we would've never known she's a hundred fold genius than what the industry is making us perceive of her.
Kudos to Zane Lowe. You earned my greatest respect.
Champagne problems is one of if not the best bridge Taylor has EVER written and trust me she’s written some amazing bridges
Same thing with Tolerate It
"Now I'm looking for footnotes in the story of your life" 😭😭
I was speechless when I first listened to it, it was early morning for me but I immediately thought that this is the best she's ever done, it is so poignant and concise and just heartbreaking. "sometimes you just don't know the answer til someone's on their knees and asks you" has got to be one of the most gut-wrenching lyrics of all time
I absolutely love it when Taylor writes an amazing song with an amazing bridge, that’s easy to play on the piano, so you can just scream it out yourself any time until we get to see it in concert... one day
AGREED
she LIVES in bridge city
“ Im Taylor and welcome to the LovFolkMore tour “
LMAO

@@brunoaranda9869 LOL we got 3 albums in concert
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW

@@bluej3667 Taylor is not like other artist. She knows people have struggled with money so she will make it cheap.
Taylor Swift... so elegant, so intelligent, so witty and well-spoken.
Oh My Goddess! Re-listening to this interview in December 2023. It hits so differently. Taylor has met Justin and performed 'Exile' live. 'The Alcott' is a collaboration between Taylor, Aaron and The National. Taylor and Joe broke up. Taylor embarked on the Eras Tour which features many of the talked about Evermore songs. So much to appreciate about this interview.
She is SO intelligent. I love that she went into detail about the songs on the album. Champagne Problems, Coney Island, and Tolerate It have stunning lyrics. It was great to hear her discuss the backstory on those. She's one of the best songwriters of the 21st century. Props to the interviewer for asking such insightful questions.
Happiness is a brilliant song too!
@@drsheel8093 It has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard.
you just said the best songs on the album TASTE
she really is. Much respect to her.
I still can't get the "cowboy like me" melody out of my head....just brilliantly beautuful.
Let’s talk about the fact that she’s 15 years into her career and is still at her artistic peak rn. Outstreamed most of the streaming era debuts while outselling them in physical BY MILES and that too consistently each era. She’s insanely talented and successful and a literal legend living among us. Hopefully, folklore wins AOTY 2021 Grammys and she becomes the youngest and first female 3 time winner. She deserves.
Edit: FOLKLORE DID! SHE JUST LITERALLY WROTE HER NAME ALONGSIDE LEGENDS! also it shows she has again gained the respect of the industry.
No one like plz, it’s at 13♥️
Edit: It’s true it’s true, she’s a legend but we don’t realise right now cause we have her. I know we will 20-30 years.
nothing deserved the AOTY more than folklore, jeez it’s so well-crafted that nothing can ever surpass it unless evermore...
@Miss Manawaka idk i just think taylor has no “peak” to reach at this point she’s already accomplished so much at such a young age that other artists wish to achieve what she has
@Miss Manawaka yeah that’s true but at this point i see it as her growth and not peaks
MANIFESTING (clicks fingers)
She says she wants to make a difference in the music industry for young artists - and she already has now that Olivia Rodrigo signed a deal where she owns her masters. It's so beautiful!!!!
I was so relieved when I heard she owns her masters. Knowing she’s a Taylor fan, I figured she’d never sign without full ownership of her work but you never know. Olivia is a force to be wreckened with.
12:00 there’s a german word that describes this exact feeling. It’s called “Waldeinsamkeit” and means basically “solace in the solitude of the forest”
the phone ringing at 31:13 is either the best coincidence or this woman just can’t let us sleep
I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE
31:13.5 to be exact! And I def agree with the theory that it was Joe Alwyn in the background turning off the phone
OMGGG YESSSSSS....
I think something is happening on New Year’s Eve. She is set to appear on some show or a video
PLEASE LET MY BRAIN REST 😭😭😂😂
Taylor is not the artist of the decade, she is the artist of the century.
Basically
She really is.
No, artist of all times
@@kaffialridho927 too far
Truer words have never been said✨
Im a rock music fan, led zep, pink floyd, kings of leon, but for the last few weeks ALL ive listened to is Folklore and Evermore. Swifts songwriting and lyrics are absolutely amazing, she's the real deal and I NEED a long pond session on Evermore! Tolerate it makes me cry. Mirrorball is just perfect. August is the best song ive heard in years. Exile... love it. Margerie, Ricochet, This is me Trying, BETTY! IVY!!! I love the lyrics on Ivy. Amazing
She's simply amazing 👏
Fellow rock fan here. I'm in the same situation here, but it's been about 2 months now!
Loved them from the first listen and they only get better with every listen! Incredible.
The crown jewel of these two albums is Epiphany
Yes!! Long Pond: Evermore Edition 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Manifesting 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
She has red lips, sitting on a red couch, and in front of a red pillow, maybe she’s recording red
Red means recording!

starting to get into Taylor Swift at 64. She is highly intelligent. More so than most artists
I love that he isn't focusing on Joe when Taylor brought her boyfriend up, how they love sad songs. I love that he focused on how champagne problems is a phenomenal piece.
Absolutely ,as one should because it is a heart shattering work of art
I could listen to her talk for HOURS without getting tired, she's so incredible
I am hoping if Taylor Swift gets to know me I hope she loves me Davie MacLean so much she really whole heartedly want to get married to me.........I've had 2 women in my life......my deceased wife and a short failure at a second relationship.......I'm nervous about all this I'm saying
Me too.💚
Me too
And she is so articulate and explains her songs so well.
2rs/ kilo
I honestly really admire how she kind of dodged that question gracefully and refused to speak on Joe’s behalf. Maybe she knows how he feels, maybe she doesn’t, but she doesn’t share it publicly because she doesn’t want to speak for him or take away his voice in the matter. I think that’s so respectful and honestly a great display of honest love.
Watching this interview after she announced “The Tortured Poets Departament”, makes me think that the reason why she was trying not to write personal songs and give clickbait to the media was simply to please Joe! He was the one uncomfortable with the exposure, not her!
girl she wrote reputation an lover while still with joe
@@lullatstars @lullatstars WOW! THAT'S BRAND NEW INFORMATION 😒😒 Of course I know that! But Taylor wrote rep and lover in the beginning of her relationship with Joe, he probably wasn't aware of how much attention they would get from those albums. In this Zane Lowe interview Taylor said "there was a point where I got to as a writer who only wrote very diaristic songs that I felt it was unsustainable for my future moving forward. (...) On my bad days it would feel like I was loading a cannon of clickbait when that's not what I want for my life."
With that said, isn't it contradictory that now she's releasing the MOST PERSONAL ALBUM of her career?
I'm wondering if maybe the reason why she said that on the apple music interview was only because of her relationship with Joe!
Taylor's articulateness make interviews interesting and not boring. Most artists don't have that.
Ikr
Yeah most of them give generic, flat answers that don’t reveal anything, but she actually cares and has brains
I've watched a lot of interviews with other music artists, and I have yet to see one that matches the level of intellect, business/music acumen, culture, grace, and comforting casualness that Taylor presents when she gets interviewed.
I also haven't seen another artist who is as _interested_ and enthusiastic about music as Taylor is. She really, really loves it. It's so entertaining to watch.
It’s what happens when you come into the industry with an actual passion and love for the craft as opposed to craving fame and fortune
@@serenitybeats1677 Wow... so much hate and wild assumptions about people who just want to share their art with the world and make people happy.
Not everyone is articulate, that has nothing to do with "craving fame & fortune".
Besides a lot of artist didn't grow up the sheltered, well cared for way Ms. Swift has.
Many have English as a second language.
Ms. Swift was lucky with her upbringing, she could spent her time cultivating her language. (And she did and I respect that. This is not a comment against Miss swift. I am happy for her.)
Other artists, however, had to spent their time SURVIVING and they still made it and now you dare to slam them because they are not good at giving interviews and infer that they don't have passion for their art?
How dare you?!
This fandom gets more hateful with every other comment I read.
This is no interview, just two calm and collected intellects having a deep musical 'post mortem' sort of discussion .... My analytical, overthinking brain cells feel blessed
Evermore really helped me process the moving on process after my breakup this year. First love breakups are the toughest.
I was going through a breakup too last year and I should say that I had found my solace in "folklore" and"evermore". Thanks to Taylor ❤️
@@granola1210 me as well💫💫💞💞
Not just the 1st sweetheart, hope you're doing okay ❤️
same, it also helped that she rereleased red
Same but Red helped me to move on, to like let go, although I'm not totally over it but I always turn to Taylor's music whenever I'm going through strong emotions, be it heartbreak or anger or happiness🥰
Ummm, is no one going to talk about how awesome it is that she got her grandma's voice on Marjorie?!!!
I love Marjorie, next to happiness it’s probably the most beautiful song on the album
Very proud. I remember being 13 and waiting for Tim Mcgraw, Teardrops on my guitar and Our song to come out on Mtv when smartphones weren’t very popular yet. I followed her music journey throughout my adolescence and even resonating a lot and confiding with her music through all my heartbreaks and butterflies. Now, as a 24 year old woman, I am proud of watching her success, defeating enemies and through heartbreaks. She will always be my favourite modern poet.
Same girl, same 💓
Same as well ❤️❤️🥰
Same. -and I'm 25 this year. 💕 We grew up with her.
I resonate with your story. I was 13 when I found her through Love Story, English music wasn't that much popular amoung teens in my country back then. And I am 23 now, grew up with her and so proud of her :)
Just seeing her live is one of my dreams and I hope it comes true someday.

Finding her in 2024. I'm late to the party, but I'm here. She is a genius. Love how she's called a "mastermind". It's true.
"I've learned that the messenger often gets shot" is potentially a full-on dynamite TS lyric and she just says it so casually in conversation
This whole conversation makes me feel like I'm having an honest heart-to-heart talk with Taylor. It's so therapeutic.
i absolutely resonate with this comment !!!!!!
"folklore" & "evermore"
Folkmore. Cuz it’s more folk.
@ОМЕГА ДОЛАЗИ nah there will not be a woodvale. Taylor has said that it was meant to be two albums
@ОМЕГА ДОЛАЗИ I'm pretty sure there won't be a second album. At the time when she said "Not a lot going on at the moment" the album was on production (proven by the willow and ivy image on the wall) so *she* isn't doing a lot at that moment. For the rerecordings I'm pretty sure it's also has been done days or maybe even weeks before the leak is released. There's a lot of people involved in the making of music so it's not just about doing it and releasing it, a lot of process needs to be done before the label decided to release the music.

You can tell the interviewer really, REALLY enjoys his job and talking to her about her music and the artistry behind it and all the lines and it makes the interview even more fabulous

Who asked you ?
@@rafaielaoliveira nobody asks you to write comments, just like no one asked you to write that reply
I’ve liked Taylor’s music before, but now, i think i’m turning into a Swiftie.
i guess i’m the only cat?
This interview could've been 5x longer and still not have been long enough. The folklore + evermore albums were the most surprising but best things to come out of the pandemic... folklore helped me leave an almost 10 year toxic relationship. And a week after i had left and was unpacking my new apartment with my daughter and we had evermore dropped on us.... that album helped me to gain the closure that i was right to leave. Looking back now... I couldn't imagine my life without those 2 albums. The comfort they brought during such a chaotic time.... the uncertainty of the pandemic and the uncertainty of leaving a toxic relationship and not knowing if I'd be ok on my own... those 2 albums were the most unexpected yet best comfort.
This interviewer is phenomenal. To actually get an interview completely about the music... Taylor has never seemed happier or more genuine in an interview until this ❤
It’s amazing that you can almost see her excitement talking about her process and her songwriting and her artistry, and that FINALLY she’s not being asked about her ex’s and her boyfriends. I love it.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HER PHONE RINGING AT EXACTLY 31:13 THAT CANT BE A COINCIDENCE
WAIIIIIIITTTTTT
woahh
Okay, literally almost all of the comments are about that.
@@rosieposiepuddinandpie LOL
coincidence?? I think not!
I know Taylor is in her Midnights Era but I'm still in Evermore, I don't think we got acknowledgement and celebration of Evermore that we did Folklore and we're just supposed to snap into Midnights. Don't get me wrong, I love Midnights and love all these music videos that she's self directed but a long ponds Evermore edition would complete that era for me. I miss not celebrating evermore for Evermore's sake. Anyone else feel Evermore never got to breathe? It's a true masterpiece.
So well said. You captured my thoughts and feelings perfectly. My life feels incomplete without an Evermore: Long Ponds, though I’m forever grateful for what she’s given us since Evermore was released. Still…I’ll be holding out hope for an Evermore long ponds….forevermore….
I wholeheartedly agree. These last 3 albums are in heavy rotation in my house. I love the others especially 1989, but I relate more to the last 3.
Never been a Taylor fan, but Evermore and Folklore made me OBSESSED. Shes such a heartfelt and sensitive writer, her lyrics always feel like it's about moments in my life. I'm amazed.
Cant believe she actually saw the dictionary meme and liked it😂
Its so good to hear an interview where the interviewer really knows and likes the work his talking about! What an amazing thing for fans! You really knew what to ask and was interested and amazed about it just like us! There's only one thing I wish you've had asked that is if she is going to do the Lover tour when everything comes back to normal and then the Folklore Evermore tour.
She said she doesn’t know I think
@@annar6534 yes, about Foklore and Evermore. But I'd like to know about lover!
She will probably do a combination of all three. Knowing Taylor she will create a stadium tour that is truly magical and tell a compelling story with the way the setlist is set up along with the story boarding.
Well she said in Entertainment Weekly she'd need lots of time to think of that when that time comes. So I don't think she'd have a concrete answer to give. Still to many unknowns when live events will resume especially a stadium style show
@@GodsFaveSim I think she can do a combination of Folklore and Evermore, but not Lover. There are so many songs, I'd like every single one of them to be there, like in most of the tours.
This is the best Taylor Swift interview I have ever heard. This is someone actually asking her the questions we all wish we could ask her about her work. Thank you!
She is just amazing . She is soo graceful. She just holds herself so respectfully and is just such a girl boss i freaking love her. She is ine classy lady. She is such a deep person.
The respect that Zane has for musicians is astounding. The fact that he actually puts in the work to really understand music and recognize the value of the people surrounding him is so rare for people in jobs like his, and it's spaces like these that let artists like Taylor actually be artists, not just celebrities
This is my favorite Taylor era. Why? Because it’s her. Raw, happy, healthy, unfiltered Taylor. None of her amazing albums are as amazing as folklore and evermore. It’s more than music. It’s more than lyrics. It’s HER. Grown, mature, ready to be herself.
see how he called Joe her "significant other" because that's honestly so so so graceful way to address someone, than saying like "your man" or "your boyfriend". I'm sorry but THIS INTERVIEW is literally the best! I can watch hours of this. Taylor talks about songwriting on evermore. Apple Music (10 hours version) yeah I'd be down for that! I can listen to her talk about her music, her art, the process for hours and I won't get tired! I don't wanna know who she dated, how they broke up or why or whatever because if she wants to tell us, she can do that herself. But it's interviews like these that do 100% justice with Taylor as an artist and as a human being. You can't even say that because she was only talking about her music that it was "boring" at some point. Because it wasn't. Zane Lowe asked her questions that I, even after almost 2 years would want answers to. How she felt when she was writing this? What does she think if that song, how has this music changed her perception and so on. Zane! You have all my respect man! You're a swiftie through and through
she's such an intelligent speaker
I remember Taylor once said that she'll keep making music for as long as we continue to tolerate her.
Girl!! We're not tolerating you!! We're celebrating you for evermore ok?!! You're our favorite cardigan and we're gonna pass down your stories like folklores!
i loved that!!!!!!!!!!!

this interviewer is the perfect example of how an interviewer should be
She has to be one of the most articulate celebrities out there especially in a long form interview like this. I've said this before: If I had daughters I can think of no better rolemodel in the celebrity world....
Anyone noticed how phone rang exactly at 31:13? That's clearly not an accident.
The Old Taylor literally couldn’t come to the phone
nooooooo wayyyyy she didddd thatttt ??? did sheeeeee
😂 i would say we probably clowned ourselves again but Taylor also lied twice 😂
Also, the shadow a few secs later was defenitely joe
@@lilliwebersik7819 he probably went to decline the call or answer it
When Taylor said "This was the first time I threw the checklist away," I FELT THAT. You always knew which songs served which purpose on her previous albums, but with folklore and evermore, they felt so FREE of that standard she had been following for years!
What are the checklists
@@rosierhehsizara3567 I think she means ( like Taylor says in the interview ) a popstar when putting together an album imagines which songs are for the chart attention ,the songs meant to drive the album to n# 1 are usually not the most emotional songs ,they tend to have easy catch phrases ,that get lots of radio play ; Shake it off , we are never getting back together etc , a mainstream singer actively tries have some easy hits ,then you have the songs meant to be concert anthems , which when you play stadiums have that big singalong effect the way long live does . Then you have the deep more emotional songs which are meant to enrich an album but people usually only discover these songs when they take the time to listen to the whole album , the songs are not the type that climb on the charts easily but tend to be the more memorable ones.
With these last two albums there were no stadium bangers or easy chart climbers ,the entire album would be made up of those deeper more emotional songs that don't get easy chart attention but last way longer.
I definitely felt that checklist present in the Rep and Lover album. I’m excited to see her future projects with this new mindset😭
This guy is such a top tier interviewer. Never awkward, never weird questions, kind of lets her lead where the convo goes and he goes along for the ride
She is on another level. Evermore was immaculate.
Taylor Swift: not at a white wall
Swifties: 👁👄👁
Also swifties : *count flower petal*
I'm also counting the stripes on the sweater 💀👄💀
I love ur profile pic!
I hate us so much lol
my mind in the middle of the interview hearing the phone call: "sorry, taylor can't come to the phone right now, why? Oh she's talking about folklore and evermore"
31:13 !!!!!!!!!!
@@aurorasadprose2726 oh my god... how does she do it?
@@enrikopratt8547 she's too good for us omg
17:34 TAYLORS "I dOnt lIkE hEr" i just top tier 😭
I went to the ERAS tour and became a Swiftie. She is a joy and an inspiration....
I've never been her fan (her music is not my cup of tea, that's it) but I must admit she gained A LOT of my respect this year. I decided to check Folklore and I LOVED it, so when Evermore came out I was so excited. I loved it too. I also got to love her album Reputation. It's so refreshing to have a mainstream artist with a genuine, pure passion for songwriting and storytelling rather than scandals and charts. I remember seeing her early videos on tv and I definitely have not expected her to become this huge and not lose an ounce of love for music along the way. I respect her and her journey.
Same!
Same journey for me - Reputation was an album I loved as well, although I think Evermore has replaced it now as my favourite...
That sounds like a fan to me 😂
@@annar6534 maybe 😂 so far I only like 3 of her albums, I didn't really like the remaining 6 albums, but who knows, perhaps I'll like her future projects :D until then I'm more of a casual listener haha xd
@@Monicalia that’s fine with me at least your open to trying her music without judging her because of the tabloids
I love the PASSION that she conveys when talking about artist owing their work and how she’s doing whatever she can to leave the industry WAY better than how she found it. If there’s someone that can archive it, it is Taylor, and I am not trying to be like (ohh my fave is superior or she’s the music industry) no, this is something I genuinely believe, she has the power, she knows the ways, and she’s as CLEVER as a business person/artist can be. Her experiences and knowledge have set her to be in the position to be able to make a BIG positive change. There’s also the factor that she’s going against so many powerful men that get their money from exploiting and taking advantage of young naive artist that do not want the industry to change whatsoever and that is going to be hard. I hope she can surround herself with people that have the same selfless interest and they could work with her and make history together.
Thank you. This totally expresses my views about her.
Proud of her ♥️
Amen!
I think you meant exploiting instead of
exploring but this is true!
@@Ikwileennieuwenaam_ changed it , thanks :)
I love the fact that Apple Music let this guy interview Taylor Swift because he clearly is a fan. He's not just going in for one question after another but he really gets into Taylor's psyche and gets to have a very deep and interesting conversation with her about her songs and life in general. It's obvious that Taylor also enjoyed the conversation which is really heartwarming especially after seeing video clips of Taylor being disrespected by interviewers before. I wish I could talk to someone in this level of depth and interest. I envy both of them in this conversation. 💖
I never thought I'd love Taylor Swift more than I already have but folklore and evermore brought me deeper into her psyche and her heart and I'm all for it. Been loving Taylor Swift since the release of Our Song. I've grown with her and I can see how she's aged so gracefully. 💖 The thing that I admire in Taylor Swift the most especially in these two albums is when she learned how to let go-let go of things she can't control, let go of expectations she can't meet, let go of hatred she's harboured, and her letting the future unfold without having to map it all out in advance as what she used to do. I think that is so liberating and I suspect that is where most of her new-found happiness comes from.
I learned more words in "the lakes" alone than i did in my whole Honors English class this school year. I'm not kidding.
No one cares but the fact that her and Ed Sheeran are still on good terms and in this together is one of my favourite things of 2020. They vibed so well together at the beginning of his carreer.
I thought they weren’t friends anymore for some reason and I have a feeling she deliberately mentioned him here to put an end to those rumors and speculations. So happy they’ve maintained a strong friendship too!
@@paolagutierrez7044 jup there were rumours and hearsay, he mentioned in an interview earlier this year he had an American friend over his house and she drank wine with him and I had a strong feeling it was Taylor.
@@paolagutierrez7044 I think a year or two ago they were seen out having dinner together with their significant others to celebrate Joe's birthday. She also said in her Rolling Stone interview a few months ago that she talked to Ed Sheeran at least once a week and they were good friends
A lot of her "friends" from the 1989 era left her when she needed them most, except selena and ed. They are the true ones.
@@voxtur__7 Taylor knew Ed since RED and Selena since Fearless
17:34 the way she said "I DON'T LIKE HER"😂😂😂 loved it
Never a fan of her, I liked her hit songs but I was never interested into her as a person, but then folklore came in and I gained so much respect for her and for her work, she’s an insanely talented songwriter, I think Folklore and Evermore and both masterpieces, an the fact that she managed to expand her range and evolve as an artist with those two albums it’s really impressive.
I watched a few interviews about Folklore and she seems really nice and calm, like she’s at peace with herself, an this is also what her albums transmitted to me, like finding peace and tranquillity
The evolving certainly didn't start with Folklore & Evermore. Every album is a diff "Era" & diff Taylor. Most obvious ex: the fact she started (at 15) as a country artist.
am i the only that found this interview is therapeudic? because i came back once in a while...
red lip classic and braid like a pattern
love u to the moon and to saturn!!
Thank you so much for this interview. It's so fulfilling to have people asking Taylor about her music and her creative process because she always speaks about it with such confidence and a joyous look in her eyes. That was really amazing!!!
I agree! 👏🏼🙌🏼
Double agree!!
And as an aspiring poet, it's important i take advice from her and I'm glad she openly explains her songs. A lot of ADEPT artists don't do that. She does not realize it but she has taught me everything i know about how to write a poem/song about your own life.
Don't worry, I'm not advertising my channel.
I wish Taylor had an hour long interview with this guy for every album because he's so respectful and asks all the good questions.
I've never seen an artist like Taylor that just keeps getting better and better and better and doesn't let the fame get to her. She is such an amazing woman.
her braincells are bigger than all of us combined

I have never been a Taylor Swift fan even tho I always enjoyed a lot of her songs, but never was one of those people who hated on her.
But then Folklore came, and I absolutely love everything about the album so much that I started to wanted to know more about Taylor, and she seems so be so wise, relatable and down to earth, someone I would love to spend hours talking about deep or random subjects. After I heard Evermore I knew I became a fan of her, and actually felt in love with her craft to the point I want her to drop more songs as soon as possible so I can heard them on repeat like I'm already doing with her two latest albums.
Taylor Swift is truly a remarkable artist.
Yes you are right
I love this comment!
same with me dude
exactly what I have been through and still going through.
I can relate to this a lot. I essentially grew up with her hits ever since her first album but never latched on to her albums until reputation. Only then did I start paying attention to her life but I didn’t understand her that much if that makes sense. Folklore and Evermore have transformed me into a fan and now that I’m a little older I sympathize much more with story.
i always love it when she says, "thank you for saying that".
