Taylor Swift being a songwriting genius on folklore&evermore 

she is born to be a star, i feel honered to live in a world she exists.

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.

Imagine being a word and Taylor Swift likes how you "look"

she's a dreamer. the way she dreams up scenarios just by listening to the chords and instrumentals is genuise.

People: "Taylor Swift is so simplistic and there are no layers to her songwriting" Taylor:

I love listening to her process. It's like getting a tiny glimpse into the mastermind.

this man did this.. this woman did this.. then they met.. AND THEIR KID WAS ME!

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

She’s a storyteller. It comes so easy to her. She’ll probably write a couple of books someday

Taylor Swift is the music industry. Periodt.

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 🥲

"They just hang there and everytime they break, it entertains us." 💔💔💔

her two albums saved me this pandemic and i can not thank her enough

She looks forward to hearing us all singing the bridge to champagne problems? I look forward to singing it!!

I’ve learned more vocabulary from Taylor Swift than from school.

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.

Can we just admire how intelligent she sounds in all of these

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.

I love the ✨ oh this is female rage ✨ so damn much

Taylor is the Queen of the kingdom called "Song Writting"♥️✨🌠

The lyrics of Happiness is pure poetry

"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

when she talks about the song this is me trying. it really hits home.

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!

she should start a podcast. preferably called philosophy with blondie

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.

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

Alternative tittle: a girl with a 180 IQ tries to explain to normal people an advanced and complex subject and does it successfully

taylor writes her songs like it's poetry, she's so clever.. she's the music industry ❤

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” 😂

the multiple meanings of “haven’t met the new me yet” is like GENIUS

She’s in Springsteen/McCartney territory now.

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

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!!

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!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

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 really really wants her to write a book. She's a storytelling at heart, and way more mature than many other artists.

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.

I love her explanations especially for the Evermore track omg that was exactly what I imagined while listening to the song I got chills

She’s so articulate and truly a creative genius.

I could listen to her speaking all day, her voice is so pleasing

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!

Taylor is a musical geniues since she was born!!😍😍😍

I wish she would never stop working with Aaron and Jack

that thing she said about the saving words and phrases and her process... girl, I get the chaos. THE POWER MY NOTES HOLD. oml

She is an incredible singer and song writer for sure

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

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 😭

Those 2 guys that produce qnd do music are genius her music and melodies instruments are amazing

This woman is a genius.

This is like getting a glimpse of her mastermind

Taylor Swift is just a next level type human, out of this stratosphere…so interesting and talented

Listening to folklore for the first time felt like finding new parts of myself I didn't know existed

i dont know why i cried, ts has been my childhood idol, i just love this woman with all my life

That's the reason why she is the Artist of the Decade !!!

"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.

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 ❤❤

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❤️

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.

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.

She knows her work so so well. Proud

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.

I think these songs are the best she's ever written.

I have no words for a master wordsmith. The irony isn’t lost on me.

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.

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.

Queen. Period.

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

I lover her sm you don't understand how much folklore speaks to me

This is a weird thing to say, but imagine pandemic didn't happen. We wouldn't have two albums from Taylor Swift.

She’s truly a mastermind!

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 loved watching Taylor Swift express the how’s, the why’s & the what’s of these records, it was an honest & insightful glimpse.

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

she a queen👑

She is not just songwriting genius she is also genius about life

Not only is her singing voice beautiful but her talking voice is so nice

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.

She's so well spoken ❤❤❤

I've watched this three times. It's so good. Taylor is a lyrical genius. Folklore and Evermore are brilliant! They showcase her maturity, in every way. I am so in love with both albums. ❤

Honestly I feel like shes pribably the best songwriter

I mean, its unbelievable how someone can be that talented in 2021

14:58 It just hit me, the way her dyed Lover Era hair color was fading, and she let it wash away naturally. I don't even know, it feels like a transition. Moving on from everything that should've been last year and never got to happen.

I swear this woman is an angel on earth. I am so thankful for her

Taylor is so smart and creative. I believe she's the only artist in the music industry who puts a lot of effort in their craft. She deserves all her success and fame. 👏🏻💕

I wrote this song right after I found out all my shows were canceled and it’s like, ‘I’m still on my tightrope, I’m still trying everything to get you laughing at me’, so it’s like, I realize here I am, writing all this music still trying. And I know I have this excuse to sit back and not do something, but I’m not and I can’t, and I don’t know why that is. -- Taylor on Mirrorball. i cannot, huhu this girl.

She is leaving me speechless every single time !!! *SHE IS A GODDESS PERIOD!!!!!* ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Great video as usual 😘😘

knowing the meanings behind these songs is even more heart wrenching everytime i listen to them

She is so beautiful and intelligent and charming and elegant and classy and funny and clever and a lyrical genius.

Her voice is so soothing.

3:13 ❤ I hope she remembers teasing this moment for Eras Tour because Ever since this interview for Evermore I've been anticipating this moment 🍾🥂

I'll never listen to "This is me trying" the same way before

we sang she would have made such a lovely bride together taylor!!

wow the mirrorball explanation 🥺

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

she gives me lorelai gilmore vibez god i love her
