She's got an eye on legacy when making music. That's why so many fade but she's still here. She releases songs for us to relate and feel understood in our own ways. 20 years of Taylor putting our feelings into lyrics and treating human connection with the audience as her priority
Randy Newman praising Taylor Swift and talks about how nice she is during his interview with PEOPLE magazine:
“I mean, other people have said it, but she's remarkably grounded and a really nice person, like a really nice Southern girl was what she was like. And it's absolutely unprecedented for me to meet someone who's that successful and famous and doesn't appear... I was looking for loopholes the first time, you know, and there weren't any. And she must have that happen all the time where people are looking at her real hard, looking for mistakes or something. But boy, she couldn't have been nicer.”

Something that gets lost in the discourse and is relevant now is just how ridiculous the idea that a dispute over art credit justifies branding someone evil, going on smear campaigns, and partaking in underhanded behavior for years.
That’s a sign of low emotional IQ
i really appreciate how taylor continues to set the standard for physical media by making her records genuinely worth the money through thoughtfully curated packaging and a fully intact listening experience
I find it kinda crazy people don't realize the sexism in the jokes about Taylor suing everyone and anyone who crosses her given that she's only ever sued someone once actually and it was a countersuit for $1 of a man who sexually assaulted her.
she got dragged so hard for the variants but the ttpd vinyl remains my fav vinyl packaging ever it was soooooo well designed and it actually felt expensive
Just imagine the backlash if Taylor Swift:
1. Cut her songs short to fit her album on a 1LP and charged people the price of a 2LP WHILE missing chunks of music
2. Had no lyrics in her packaging
That’s what Olivia Rodrigo just did, but nobody will care.
