@RecordingAcad | The Icon Session Interview
📹 | Taylor Swift on how her songwriting has developed during her career:
“I think the way that I have expressed myself as a lyricist has changed over the years. Fans will be like ‘I can’t believe the same person who wrote this, wrote this.’ Because one would be very simplistic and silly and one would be very like detailed and deep (…) but I think that human contradiction is fun. I think it’s fun to make playful songs. I think it's fun to make songs that are desolate and lonely, and just bedraggled lyrically as well. And it’s that human contradiction that I find interesting.”
