Taylor Swift Reveals Her Songwriting Process | Letterman 

Can't believe 12 years since the OG Speak Now album has been released.Taylor Swift is a great singer.

“you smell like expensive wood” i want that compliment lmao

THAT LITTLE TAYLOR IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST LITTLE THINGS THAT ARE EVER GOING TO LIVE!!!

They have pretty good chemistry for late night talk

She has a really good sense of humour - she could do comedy and be good at it!

I've watched Dave for a long time, going back to when he had that little studio on Late Night on NBC. Rarely have I seen him so taken with a guest. He is truly smitten. Her kindness has really taken hold of him. Great interview.

She is one smsrt girl with a sharp wit to go with it

2:15 "You smell like Expensive Wood". Letterman predicts Folklore

3:20 An amazing diplomatic answer. It sidestepped comparisons between which countries were more enthusiastic, keep the topic upbeat and just reflected what a nice person she is. She was 20 here?!

It was a pleasure speaking with you, your Majesty.

Her comedic timing is insane

She is gorgeous in yellow 💛💛💛Love the Eras Tour acoustic section yellow dress 💛💛💛

Missing the good old Late Night days. Dave is a classic. Taylor was only 20. Miss ya Dave! Thanks for the channel!

her laugh is so so cute

5:40 there you go! Red was born

I can't believe so many people tried to decode who the songs were about. I always sensed her discomfort and these old bullies (especially Ellen) who wouldnt leave this kid alone. She's got a big heart and stands firm. Good for her.

Very talented and adorably gorgeous, Taylor grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania; where I also used to live.

She literally just said all those phrases last night!!!!

She is gorgeous in yellow 💛💛💛💛 Love the Eras Tour acoustic section yellow dress 💛💛💛

wow this was 12 years ago 😩

Taylor is beautiful in everything♥️♥️♥️♥️😻

She's sweet ❣️

Would love to see a Taylor Swift play a show in Japan.

Taylor's the TOTAL PACKAGE 📦

She is so sharp. I think that at this point in time she was just breaking $50 million? Good for her. Well earned, well deserved. Like the way that Dave digs his way into a hole. He is very clever too. Miss him on CBS.

She is just so damn cute...and KIND. What's not to love!

I really like Tay-Tay ...she's pretty, smart, a talented singer/song writer, funny /great sense of humor and she's a democrat ! She's the perfect woman.

Her beauty🤤😵‍💫😵‍💫😩😩Mashallah

She could’ve just said “this is the sandalwood note in my perfum”. It would’ve make things make sense and he would be able to do the interview without distractions 😅

💜Taylor

She looks incredible

So cute, both of them.

20/20

When you realize red was coming x3 scary watching it

I wonder what her perfume is?

I love her ❤

Awwww

Taylor has an amazing personality, which enabled her to charm the sometimes curmudgeonly David.

Taylor ❤

She’s on a Speak Now Era (2010) wearing a Fearless Era (2008) dress on A Letterman Show.

Man, I really wanna know what was Taylor wearing that smells so good :(

😊🦋❤️

❤️🦋🌹

As usual the most beautiful music superstar ... ❤

Cute 🥰 Yes sir Love you Taylor Swift

🤯🥶

Can she please tell us what fragrance she had on...?(

Cute 🥰 Yes Taylor Swift

Such a sweetie 😅

I liketodays star chrismas had her shomnling fir it on her wear

😊

She's sweating lovejuice for you Dave!❤😮😅

Someone breaks up with me and I write a song about it...

God she’s smart as a whip!

Nice dress

Mis respeto a las personas nobles con calidad de robles. 🌪️🌎🌪️ Atte: Saint Leo.

Of the two of them, Taylor Swift sounds more mature and worldly-wise....

"These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

WHAT FRAGRANCE IS SHE WEARING!!!!

Kawaii, Taylor? You certainly are!!! Its a start on The Japanese Album...Taylor's Version!

So from what I can tell this was smack dab in the middle of her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. And she’s talking about how much she loves falls. She was likely on a very big high here.

Lol she is something else

👑💝💕💞😊✌🏼💯💞💕

5:22 this is the first time I see this. (not like you’re standing on their foot)

The sent is called youth

Funny Love you Taylor Swift

Gee, wonder why she's sofa king successful and respected by all...and a private jet and multiple homes and now, what appears to be genuinely loving relationship with TK ❤

I'm the Emperor. You're the Empress, Taylor Kirby.

GBY my Man come back on stage D L

Jokes are so daddy lol

dave funny

She's the next Olivia Newton John....or maybe Marie Osmond.....

When did they talk about her songwriting process? Lol

I want to marry you. I want you to announce it, Taylor.

All these years later, she's still a great performer and an exceptional songwriter. I was so shocked when I found out that her record company brazenly sold all her master recordings to other parties without paying her a cent or getting her permission. Record companies are so greedy. They take most of the revenue from sales, then they have the audacity to demand ownership of all the artist's recorded work, even if they are also the songwriter. Things have to change. Not just for famous people, but for all those wanting to perform and write music. Recording contracts are not sustainable for the long term and the companies haven't realised that CD's are no longer around, and have been replaced by streaming services and digital downloads. Recording contracts are still pretending that they have the overheads that come with physical CD's/Vynals. They need to give singers and songwriters full copyright for their own work, and a higher percentage of sales. They current system is not sustainable. I hope Taylor gets justice for what was done to her. If this can happen to a superstar, then it can happen to any any unwary singer/songwriter.

so is it pine .. cedar .. mahogany .. ?? maybe it's from her guitars ....

Her process simplified: "What does a 15 year old girl at my concert want to hear about her ex-boyfriend whom she hates?". There, fixed it for ya.

I'm a little confused by this interview lol

I do too I miss you so much Dave and Johnny late nights are not the same

She's giving Belle from Beauty and the Beast vibes with that dress. TBH I'd expect her to look washed out but she looks amazing

A seed omg lol

Japanese friends here, how's she doing with her Japanese intonations?

right? I really wanted to know

😂😂😂

amm behind DL for de fact learnin langugae and accents plus de fact how cultural a person can invade others territories !!!

Dave is too old to be talking to 20 year cute Taylor about any kind of wood, but yeah, expensive, no doubt in the least.

Yes, the wood would be costly.

Conversant in Japanese too🥹🤗🥰🥰🥰

the jokes weren't funny, she took the money..

This gives me the ick.

Her songwriting process? She hires a couple of Swedish guys to do it.

That means Asher. This is my confession.❤usher the babies car seats, bigger than his

Translation, that means she smells like spaghetti

Si hablas español vas hacer bilingüe . Tu eres mas inteligente ,🤔🤔🤔🤔🧠

“The jokes weren’t funny…”

I nevwr hd a gf with lipstrick im sorry wanted one so

At 20 years old, astoundingly more mature than MAGA

Will never be another like her , no one else will ever be so overwhelmingly over rated .

He’s so gross 🤢
