🚨Taylor getting emotional while talking about how fans immortalized her songs in their individual ways🥹
“Nothing makes me happier than when someone tells me that they used to listen to my music with their parent and now decades later they listen to it with their own child or that they listen to it with their best friend or when a couple tells me that Love Story is their song. Or where somebody does like a cute little dance to The Fate of Ophelia or I hear people in different countries singing Opalite in their own accents or someone tells me that the song ‘Enchanted’ gets their baby to stop crying… I’m humbled by the ways that fans have immortalized my songs in their own individual ways.”
🚨Rolling Stone gave a new part pf Taylor Swift’s 21-minute acceptance speech:
“If I look back at my entire 23 year career in music, the ups and downs, the industry battles, the trials and tribulations, the tears and the cheers, and the dog piling of doubt, the criticisms of fair and unfair, the complete loss of privacy, the world tours and the ego wars and the twists of fate, the absolute magical chaos of this path that I chose when I was too young to remember it ever being a choice at all: songwriting was the easiest thing I ever did.” Swift added, “Not because it didn’t take effort — definitely did — not that it wasn’t frustrating at times — because it could be — and not that my songwriting didn’t haunt me relentlessly until I cracked the perfect internal rhyme scheme for the third line, the second verse of the hook, where my teachers called me out in class without paying attention — because that definitely happened.”
In 2003, Taylor was writing about being scared that being a singer-songwriter wasn’t going to work out for her.
In 2026, she’s the youngest person to ever be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
