I remember watching this the first time and thinking, “I’ll never never be able to express MY gratitude to her family that they made that move and put her on that journey and into my life and millions of others’ lives.”
taylor swift talking about how fans immortalize her songs is so important to me because that’s not just taylor swift’s music, that’s the soundtrack of my childhood bedroom and my summers and my friendships and my relationships. that’s the music of my life
fave part of Spielbergs inducting Taylor SHOF speech:
him dropping her title references:
“While you wrote, You belong with me…in the most profound ways, we belong with her”
“You are our mirror……ball”
“This is me trying…to tell everyone that in my book, you are evermore”
and i’ll tell you what, every great thing taylor swift conquered at only 36 years of life was something that taylor swift earned herself with her own hard work and through her genuine passion for the craft
💬| “Taylor is someone who embraces artistic risk, who trusts us with her memories, grudges, thoughts, secrets, fears and dreams. Through her songs she has taken billions of people by the hand and by the heart and reaches across the footlights to them with a message that is rooted in community and enthused with hope and relatability.”
- Steven Spielberg on Taylor Swift
John Mayer presented Taylor the Hal David Starlight Award at this same ceremony in 2010.
Sombr performing Dear John makes it even more funnier and diabolical.
Also the songs you are missing from TGD are slower songs. I’m guessing Noah wanted to keep it upbeat and will use the slower songs for the acoustic/surprise song part. So there is still the chance you will here them
Hi, Noah Kahan fan here. Please stop complaining about the setlist having too many Stick Season songs on it, because I know there are a lot of fans who didn’t get to go to that tour and are very excited to hear those songs live.
🎥| Please do take the time to watch the FULL video of Steven Spielberg inducting Taylor into the Songwriters Hall of Fame! It’s nothing short of magnificent which comes as no surprise since he’s one of the best storytellers in history!
Oh my god? What song is Taylor going to preform? My heart is saying all too well (10 min).
But I think she might go with one of her singles. So Blank Space or Anti-Hero
