I made this compilation of Taylor talking about songs she wrote for her albums she's made this year to showcase how talented and brilliant her mind is and also to help you understand the meaning behind each song a little better. Hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas to all of you, have the happiest holidays. Take care, I love you. xxx

Imagine being a word and Taylor Swift likes how you "look"
Swifties adding an x to their Twitter handle
Lmao
oh to be a word...
hoax blushing in the corner right now
@@shalakaj523 stoppp😭😭😭 lmao
she's a dreamer. the way she dreams up scenarios just by listening to the chords and instrumentals is genuise.
True words
She is not a genius... She is more at the level of savant.... You cannot teach what she does.... Its an innate talent that you can be taught to hone and maximize but you can't actually teach someone the gift itself... You are either born with it or you aren't... Its that simple and that complex at the same time...
@@ZATennisFan savant syndrome are people who are severely autistic but have something like an inhuman memory. she is not autistic is she?? lmao
@@oliverxhmll look up the definition of savant separate from autism
@@oliverxhmll I’m CT
she is born to be a star, i feel honered to live in a world she exists.
Yea I used to say I lived in the time of Noam Chomsky... now i say i lived in the time of Taylor Swift
@Dan low-key just came up with a song lyric lines from what you just commented,thank you!
Same!!
Yeah the fact that the earth is billions of years old and here we all our alive at the same time as her 🥰
Honoured. Yes we are all honoured. Or the Americans are honored.
She is hands down the greatest songwriter of our generation. I can't believe that for years interviewers would just ask her about bs like her love life and stuff and not ask her about her songwriting process and melodies.
she needed reputation for that crack to come in. the most different TS album and perhaps the most easily hard hitting one in the obvious way
she maybe is one of the greatest in our generation....but thats really not a good sign for our generation....there are still hundreds of better songwriters in the history who are like on a whole other level of being lyrical....she's a poet, but she's a poet for sixteen year olds...
@@janfelix4573 it’s pretty clear you haven’t read the lyrics of many of her songs.
@@camilaslauren its pretty clear that most taylor swift fans dont know shit about music history if they call her a genius. go watch the best glee performances
@@janfelix4573 dudee.. why are you going around writing hate about an artist like this? If you don't like her music, no one is forcing you to listen to her and definitely not opening youtube videos about her.. it's harmful for your mental health and for everyone's.. listen to the music you like it's okay we are all different we don't have to bash each other about it, remain kind and peaceful in this social media mess.. it's hard but we all should try, all the best
I love listening to her process. It's like getting a tiny glimpse into the mastermind.
Trust me when I say you are only seeing layer 1 or 2 of many... She is the master of the Japanese philosophy of "Wheels within wheels, circles within circles and plans within plans" with her lyrics....
@@ZATennisFan yes her mind is very complex, like an onion. She has so many layers.
And da masterclass
And into the mind of a freakin genius!!
I'm learning a lot with her, she's amazing
this man did this.. this woman did this.. then they met.. AND THEIR KID WAS ME!
It gives me “it all started when my mom...met my dad...and they fell in love...and they had me. Hi, I’m Ryan, and my life...is kinda crazy” vibes 😂
- Taylor Swift 2020
this is literally Carrie Underwoods' All American Girl.
And girl your amazing
She’s a storyteller. It comes so easy to her. She’ll probably write a couple of books someday
In fact I can see her being a movie director and a damm good one...
She would write amazing fantasy and contemporary.
I could see that….maybe after she settles down for a bit she will write a book
hopefully she will
Actually, she wrote a 200 page novel when she was 12!!
"They just hang there and everytime they break, it entertains us." 💔💔💔
It hurts....
Time?
@@Serena-jq5wf 5:55
I physically flinched when Taylor said that. It’s so true that it hurts
I relate to the toilet. Always getting shit upon.
Her vocabulary is so advanced Edit: this comment was a compliment, you probably couldn’t tell because I put no emojis. This comment was not meant to imply that me or others are dumb and need an education. Our level of English is determined by our interest in the language. There is absolutely no need to get fired up in the sub-comment section. also we all know the education system is f*cked, Taylor expanded her vernacular through interest in poetry and literature. College didn’t do anything for her it was all on her own. Thanks for reading
Yesss and her talking as well
How come?
@@giovanafroes13 she didn't shutter much and use alot of formal words to address her statement Dont anyhow use Internet language (stan language) to address her point, she does but it's quite rare
I could listen to her for hours
.....go to college
People: "Taylor Swift is so simplistic and there are no layers to her songwriting" Taylor:
Who is the clown who said that?
@@justzahraa9184 ignorant and horrible people would say that
People who say that have obviously never listened to her music.
People don’t say that tho..? I think they complain about her singing and performances more tbh. If it’s the one thing that ”haters” respect about Taylor it’s her songwriting
@@hot6ygirl943 oh you havent been in a Consequence of Sound comment thread. The boomers are decimating Taylor in all possible aspects
Taylor Swift is the music industry. Periodt.
I agree
in your lil tiny head, yes. lol
@@dragonfly5665q ur tired and washed up stop hating on someone who has a net worth of 400 million
@Elijah lol sure keep believing whatever the internet tells you, you sheeple 😂😂
@@dragonfly5665q oh yeah her networth is 500$ million*
her two albums saved me this pandemic and i can not thank her enough
Yes ! I’ve listen every day
yess! I agree totally saved me too
Same.
She looks forward to hearing us all singing the bridge to champagne problems? I look forward to singing it!!
taylor's wish is our command :)))
@@shalakaj523 wish came true :)
I’ve learned more vocabulary from Taylor Swift than from school.
5:44: "we have mirrorballs in the middle of a dance floor because they reflect light. they are broken a million times and that's what _makes_ them so shiny. we have people like that in society, too. they hang there, and everytime they break, it entertains us." that hit me like a ton of bricks, and now i'm crying 🥲
It's interesting that she said she wanted 'Folklore' to represent spring and summer because that album feels very autumn to me. It's part of why I love it so much.
Haha same here ! The vibe just matches cold wind and falling leaves so much fun
@@jrdnk5715 I feel the same about some of the songs on folklore (like mad woman or mirrorball) but overall I think it really reflects summer and spring. Especially the most popular tracks like betty, the 1, tlgad, august - their production and visual imagery is very reminiscent of summer and spring
Evermore feels like Autumn to me,and since i love Spring it makes sense why i love Folklore so much lol
folklore is very early fall, August-October while evermore is late fall and winter (post thanksgiving) for me
I feel like it's 'written' in autumn/winter about the summer/spring
She's so beautiful with her perfect songs and perfect-er bridges. I was ADDCITED to folklore and now I'm addicted to both folklore and evermore. Every song just feels like the first snow of winter and it's just wonderful.
Hi directioner and swiftie ! I appreciate that not all directioners hate her ..... I love her so much !♥️
@@Trina2813 Yes!! Harry says tpwk! ❤️🌈
@@likethereaintenoughdyingst3841 appreciate It , cause I really feel sad when directioners trash her , and then swifties say we are toxic ... I love both one d and Taylor so much !! ( Little mix too ) Anyways! My babe's birthday is coming !!!!!!!
@@Trina2813 ikr! I really don't understand this when haylor was AGES ago. People are still not over it smh. I'm not a mixer but ik little mix (ofc) and jesy leaving was just 🥺 And yes!!! Boubear's birthday is cominggg aahhhh
@@likethereaintenoughdyingst3841 exactly! And it's not like they are mean to each other , they respect each other and Harry even follows her on social media .... I am a mixer too and it is so sad to see Jesy leave , Reminded me of when Zayn left one d ..... I don't know why , but I am excited for boo year's birthday , I wanna see #LightsForLouis trending even tho I don't have any social media .....( I don't have a phone of my own lol , will get when I turn 18 and that's fine 😊)♥️♥️♥️ My boy's gonna turn 29 OH LORD !!!!! he was a 18 year old , loud boy in the world's biggest boyband .... #JustHowFastTheNightChanges 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Can we just admire how intelligent she sounds in all of these
when she talks about the song this is me trying. it really hits home.
That's my fav song of hers the lyrics before the 1st chorus oooffff it hits so hard 🥺🥺
Taylor is the Queen of the kingdom called "Song Writting"♥️✨🌠
I love the ✨ oh this is female rage ✨ so damn much
she should start a podcast. preferably called philosophy with blondie
You need to be a producer
Yes.
Oh my gosh that's genius!
I feel like that would break the internet. Would probably be the most listened-to podcast in the world within a few days
She would go over the heads of most of her fans
As a recovering addict with serious mental health conditions, I appreciate what taylor was saying so much about how every day is a fight to live and live well and most days nobody even thinks about it...but its something you think about 24/7. It is an exhausting battle and on those rare days someone looks at you and goes "I'm so proud of you for continuing to stay sober and continuing to try your hardest to live", it feels so good.
The lyrics of Happiness is pure poetry
Literally....I always say if we gave it to my AP Lit class to dissect, they would never the know the difference🤣
"You let someone in. They get to know you and they know what button to push to hurt you the most". This saying just sticks in my head
what's so great about taylor swift is that if you took away all the albums and the awards from years past and she had to start anew, she would still find a way to be at the top because that's how brilliant and talented of a singer and songwriter she is. mad respect.
Hoax is the most sad and beautiful song to me. I was married 17 years and had a horrible divorce. Hoax feels I could have written it myself, Same with my tears ricochet!
Oh my god im so sorry. I hope you're okay
Alternative tittle: a girl with a 180 IQ tries to explain to normal people an advanced and complex subject and does it successfully
Hell yes 😂
I've found myself wondering what her IQ is several times. I can't imagine it's much less than 180, and I say that as someone who would guess his own IQ to be around 130 (I should really get that tested, more for curiosity than anything else). I can see her being a couple standard deviations above me, easily. The way she creates stories and plays with different concepts and connects things like a disco ball and people's different personae are just beyond what my brain can do.
@@JGMeador444 My uncle’s IQ is over 180, last I checked he was a crazy cat lady living in a trailer on his sister’s property. Don’t do acid kids.
@@JGMeador444i don’t think you realize how high 180 is. einstein is between 160 - 200. 180 is insane, nearly impossible.
Uncle Ted was high IQ
She writes these insanely good stories and lyrics where I’m just like... how does someone come up with this? At the same time she writes stuff like “And the tennis court was covered up with some tent like thing” 😂
it sounds so nice the way she says it so it’s fine 🤣
@Nobody 4573 she’s so cool it’s insane
Nobody 4573 yeah, that opening line really gives the person in the song their character and shows their attitude. Taylor is versatile and knows how to be flexible it blows my mind
I honestly loved that line. It’s the way she starts the song with the word ‘and’ like you’re coming into a story that already exists. And you are, because she says ‘I thought this was going to be one of those things’ in the past tense. We have literally just come across the love story as it’s happening.
@@Cat-oj5oj And ending it with "Forever is the sweetest con / I had some tricks up my sleeves"?? Genius level songwriting
Best lyrics off evermore: And they’re better than folklore “Good thing I cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene” -Nbnc “You had a speech, you’re speechless” - champagne problems “Your heart was glass I dropped it, champagne problems” - champagne problems “I can make it go away by making you a villain” - happiness “Life was a willow but it bent right to your wind, They count me out time and time again Life was a willow but it bent right to your wind And I came back stronger than a 90’s trend” - willow (lyrical genius) 'This dorm was once a madhouse' I made a joke, 'Well, it's made for me' - champagne problems “While you were out building other worlds, where was I? Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire? I made you my temple, my mural, my sky Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life” - tolerate it "Oh, I can't Stop your putting roots in my dreamland My house of stone, your ivy grows And now I'm covered In you" - ivy "Never be so kind You forget to be clever Never be so clever You forget to be kind" - Marjorie This is poetry 101
💫💕Forever is the sweetest con💕💫>>>
@@gaeljimenez2057 what song is that in
@@red-headedabigail5794 Cowboy like me, I love it, is a masterpiece
“Your pain fits in the palm of my freezing hand, taking mine but it’s been promised to another.”
@@Sophia-qq2ys Halsey has better lyrics and if you liked evermore you should listen to be the cowboy it’s a masterpiece
taylor writes her songs like it's poetry, she's so clever.. she's the music industry ❤
Yup she's a different kind of genius, I wonder what her IQ is
This is the best compilation of her interviews ever. It was in the corner of my mind to binge her long interviews but this is perfect!!
Yeah, it is.
Excellent compilation.
the multiple meanings of “haven’t met the new me yet” is like GENIUS
She’s in Springsteen/McCartney territory now.

@@sav1472 I gotchu bb 🥰
🥺💚💚thx
Am I blind or is illicit affairs missing?
@@tiny_beom899 missing also cardigan , right where you left me( my fav ) , dorothea , closer and its time to go
She articulates the process of creativity with eloquence and intelligence. We are truly lucky to have this artist around at this awkward moment in time....
I'm feeling under the weather so this video cheered me up, she's a star, an amazing lyricist and her albums are powerful. I stan the right woman
Anyone else notice she doesn't need word fillers like "uhm" "aaahh" - she can very well explain herself and express her thoughts straight away!! UNBELIEVABLE!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
How thoughtful, piercing and emotionally intense. She is as deep as those lakes, and Wordsworth would be proud to be a part of her story.
This is like getting a glimpse of her mastermind
I really really wants her to write a book. She's a storytelling at heart, and way more mature than many other artists.
Ngl, her explanation of ‘This is me trying’ with mental health struggles made me tear up a little because that’s what the song feels like to me and I’ve experienced that feeling she was attempting to convey. I love her music so much, it’s so evocative!
I wish she would never stop working with Aaron and Jack
I could listen to her speaking all day, her voice is so pleasing
Those 2 guys that produce qnd do music are genius her music and melodies instruments are amazing
that thing she said about the saving words and phrases and her process... girl, I get the chaos. THE POWER MY NOTES HOLD. oml
I love her explanations especially for the Evermore track omg that was exactly what I imagined while listening to the song I got chills
"They hang there and every time they break it entertains us." DAMN
What strikes me is that not only is she a very talented musician, lyricist, performer but also a deep introspective philosopher. The broken mirrorball person and the societal fascination with that brokenness is a strikingly deep perception.
genuinely, it’s crazy to be able to be alive the same time ts herself is. one day she will be bigger than a “pop artist” or the “music industry” she is going to be so much bigger. ppl know taylor the way they know emily dickinson. her entire being will be a legend.
This is a real album, like the old ones, with a theme and an idea to tell throughout all the songs, hit albums are so bad, the storytelling and the connections within the songs is magical and intriguing, you just want to hear more of this amazing story, surrounded by great quality music and a beautiful voice
Taylor is a musical geniues since she was born!!😍😍😍
She is an incredible singer and song writer for sure
i dont know why i cried, ts has been my childhood idol, i just love this woman with all my life
The best song in her discography is My Tears Ricochet. The story, the lyrics, and the production are absolutely magnificent. She also wrote it alone. All Too Well is great, but it doesn't compare to MTR. It's so amazing to watch her evolve as a songwriter.
her songs capture emotion so well 😭
That's the reason why she is the Artist of the Decade !!!
Listening to folklore for the first time felt like finding new parts of myself I didn't know existed
This woman is a genius.
She’s so articulate and truly a creative genius.
Taylor Swift is just a next level type human, out of this stratosphere…so interesting and talented
She's so well spoken ❤❤❤
This is a weird thing to say, but imagine pandemic didn't happen. We wouldn't have two albums from Taylor Swift.
No no you make a point
I can listen to her talk about the writing process of her albums all day... Her mind is just... like how can someone be so intelligent ! Her imagination, her ideas, the way she does it all.. I'm soo lucky to be living at the same time as her ❤❤
are we just gonna ignore the fact that "you haven't met the new me yet" lines on happiness mean different things altho literally theyre the same words
yes!! I was just thinking how brilliant that is
Taylor deserves all the success she has. It's so rare to find people who love song-writing so much. She's been writing about all the things she feels, every little emotion that is confusing or hard to process. Tim McGraw, Fifteen, White Horse, Don't You, Enchanted, Mean, Innocent, Long Live, Sparks Fly, Dear John, Back To December, The Moment I Knew, All Too Well, Treacherous, Red, I Almost Do, Clean, New Romanctics, Welcome To New York, Wildest Dreams, Blank Space, Out of the Woods, You're in Love, Delicate, Call It What You Want, New Year's Day, King Of My Heart, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Lover, The Man, The Archer, Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince, False God, Cornelia Street, Death By A Thousands, Soon You'll Get Better, Afterglow, Daylight, Cardigan, Exile, My Tears Ricochet, This is me Trying, Hoax, the Lakes, Mirrorball, August, Seven, Champagne Problems, Tolerate It, Tis The Damn Season, Epiphany, Marjorie, Coney Island, Ivy, Evermore, Right Where You Left Me, Time to Go, Cowboy Like Me, Only the Young, Beautiful Ghosts, Ronan, Better Man. I think these songs are the best she's ever written.
Your midas touch on the Chevy door. November flush and your flannel cure.....oh god...I love her so much for how beautifully she is articulating her vocabularies .... Champagne problems is my most favourite Taylor song ever after back to December 😭❤️ And the way she said that she's having a file of her favourite words...and now I just want to have a look at those words❤️
same!!! 🥰
Her ability to empathize with different human experiences and write about them so eloquently is amazing. I.e. this is me trying is such a great song for someone struggling with addictions - something she hasn’t experienced but still has ability to understand it and feel for that person. It’s truly beautiful. And epiphany is also such a good example of her empathy.
folklore and evermore were really something, those two were (to me) Taylor's time to shine her creativity and talent as both the singer and writer with the storytelling, messages and vulnerability to the world with the sounds and production that embodies the songs.
I have no words for a master wordsmith. The irony isn’t lost on me.
Writing a song about the Lake District really is the most relatable thing she's ever done. I've been there once and if I had any musical capabilities I too would write a song about the Lake District
Taylor swift is a true artist. And when I say this I mean it, cause she knows her art so well, so goes into the depths of her mind to curate something magical. I absolutely feel honoured to be a swiftie.
She’s truly a mastermind!
She knows her work so so well. Proud
Musical genius. I cry every time when listening to Mirrorball. It is just so beautiful. August is becoming a close second. Exile has them both beat. Genius.
I loved watching Taylor Swift express the how’s, the why’s & the what’s of these records, it was an honest & insightful glimpse.
She is not just songwriting genius she is also genius about life
we sang she would have made such a lovely bride together taylor!!
I swear this woman is an angel on earth. I am so thankful for her
knowing the meanings behind these songs is even more heart wrenching everytime i listen to them
Queen. Period.
I still can't get over Folklore, it is a masterpiece. I absolutely loved what she did with the entire album. Cardigan, Betty, August, oh my god. She gave us Pov's from the characters and helped us feel with them.
Her voice is so soothing.
Thank you for compiling this 💗 really she has the greatest mind 💗
We need more videos like this, answered a lot of questions for me on both albums
thank you for compiling this
i appreciate you editing this together, thank you!!
Thank you for compiling it all 😍
the fact that shes trying to hide that she is crying but u can hear her voice physically brake and shes fully crying just proves that she is amazing and doesn't want to upset us thats why i love her
Not only is her singing voice beautiful but her talking voice is so nice
Honestly I feel like shes pribably the best songwriter
One of the best interview compilation of Taylor Swift. ❤️
I love listening to her talking about her songs. So mesmerising and her words are enchanting.
i just love her so damn much
I think I have watched this video a few hundred times, her process in doing music show me so much passion and brings me so much comfort for some reason.
so cool ty 4 making and sharing
I love listening to her process !
i’m so obsessed with her
wow the mirrorball explanation 🥺
she a queen👑
