Olivia Rodrigo recently revealed that Taylor Swift sent her a 10-page handwritten note and gifted her a replica of a ring she wore during her ‘RED’ era.
we don’t talk enough about how this might be one of the best opening lines ever and it’s from her debut single that she wrote in math class at 14 years old
@nintayndo THAT PART… I also read a reddit comment yesterday on the production of I Think He Knows, how it starts out minimalist but as the infatuation grows the music starts busting through the seams. there’s really an art and symbolic significance to production that’s understated
@nintayndo this peaks along the second verse when the beat picks up and voices start to echo and blend in the background (doubles, couple). and the bit after the last “doubles” sounds like a sort of spiral down. I love how the music tells a story too.
@nintayndo this effect is why I love the production choices on the song so much. it’s dense and psychedelic, while her delivery sounds dragged out and possessed. and yet her lyrics express a sentiment you would think is love when they’re gradually echoing a loss of agency
#TaylorSwift tears up while thanking her family for “uprooting their entire lives” to Nashville to support her music career.
Swift, 36, is now the youngest artist to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
