Steven Spielberg praises Taylor Swift:
"Her place in our culture rivals that of the composers of the American Songbook, Lennon McCartney of the ’60s and the singer-songwriters of the 1970s like Carole King and Stevie ‘Let’s Go Knicks,’ and your namesake, James Taylor... Through her songs, she has taken billions of people by the hand and by the heart, and lights them with a message that is rooted in community and infused with hope and relatability. Through her songs, she makes us believe that we are in this together and together we can grow up, live, love, make mistakes, succeed, fail, and yet continue to believe in our own self-worth. Somehow, Taylor knows us all too well."
