The moment in which she recites the words of "All too well" like a prayer and all the people in the room recite them along with her it's the demonstration of the unstoppable army she has created

[@lexireiki5819]

It’s so good and so funny bc it sounds like a cult reciting a prayer back to their leader 😭💀

[@lpquagmire3621]

Will we ever see a greater, more influential rock star in our lifetime than Taylor Swift...?

[@irissupercoolsy]

I wanted to show this clip to a guy I want to introduce to her music but that was the moment I realized I better use another one 😭😭

[@aniruddhasarkar2433]

"the incense dust on the vinyl shelf..." TAYLOR..... you gave so many signs... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@axelcaceres112]

“the incense dust on the vinyl shelf” -> MAROON!!!! She’s a mastermind indeed

[@madelineowens88]

I thought the same thing. I was like OMG a midnight reference.

[@davidhampson1958]

I don't know how it gets better than this...Taylor has always been "Fearless" A once in a generation phenomenon....So very well deserved Taylor....Swifties will love you "Forever And Always"

[@nekochan8878]

Lany correche me too thank you i no is not i naff i no more blessings is come with you tha my primonesion good luck

[@siren1641]

i am calling it now that chipped paint on a door frame and dust on a vinyl shelf is lyrics from a song on midnights!

[@stephaniecrossman2864]

Incense dust

[@LisetteMendoza]

I came down here to say that! I was immediately like 🤔 sounds like midnight vibes

[@iantuition]

you were half right!

[@princelime5676]

maroon!!

[@dakotamcgovern1617]

What an icon reciting Shake It Off in the middle of a legal battle.

[@jannapatty2958]

when they started reciting all too well like a bible verse killed me.

[@giorgia3073]

The girl screaming "Oh my God" at 2:17 at the sight of Taylor represents all the swifties in the world

[@DD-jb1lq]

Omg iconic hearing Taylor speak about her work like this. Also, she's so confident and elegant and the queen of lyrics.

[@parkerburgio]

She’s such a genius… I love getting a glimpse into her songwriting process

[@marialuizaferreira5951]

Same!! My dream is a documentary or some long video with just Taylor talking and showing her songwriting process hahaha

[@ZATennisFan]

She is beyond genius level. Ryan Tedder calls her a songwriting savant and I don’t think he is far wrong. She was born with something you can’t teach. She has honed that gift to a razor’s each through years of diligent work but you can’t teach that gift she was born with. She is a storyteller the way Roger Federer is a tennis player. They have that ability to make the magical seems almost mundane by how easy they make it look. In both cases the better you are at what they do the more you appreciate what they do. It’s why professional musicians and especially songwriters hold Taylor in such esteem…

[@parkerburgio]

@@ZATennisFan Well said!

[@ZATennisFan]

@@parkerburgio Thank you.

[@ZATennisFan]

@@parkerburgio She is one of the best exponents of what I call eternal songs. By that I mean those songs that the first time you ever hear them they sound familiar like they have always existed yet every subsequent time you hear them it’s new. And they never really lose their impact.

[@doloreshaze3465]

'the incense dust on the vinyl shelf' - blondie literally dropped an easter egg hint for midnights (maroon), HER MIND, she really is such a legendary mastermind

[@ranpan0801]

when she recited the bridge to Shake It Off, i was half expecting her to hit the high note at the end🤣

[@talyaschube9238]

I'm coming back to this and realizing she told us the incense lyric in Maroon oh my god

[@giorgia3073]

She has probably dropped a billion Easter eggs during her speech. I'll wait for the clever swifties to decode them.

[@madelineowens88]

7:19 She is referencing Maroon form Midnights. What a Mastermind.

[@weirdo66636]

her singing ivy right after mentioning emily… my heart

[@NavyBlueStone]

I hope they teach her 3 lyricism categories in the class about her ☺️

[@SamuelDuplessis12]

There is a university that teaches a breakdown of her songwriting for a class, I forget which one it is but whichever one it is they're so real for that.

[@maggiej7956]

8:04 OMG everyone in unison, sounds like they're doing the pledge of allegiance 💀

[@acmanda07]

CHILLS hearing everyone sing her lyrics !! She is a genius and this award is so well-deserved !!

[@giorgia3073]

From 7:42 to 8:15 you can see all the swifties reciting the Swiftie Anthem

[@steph603]

I loooooove ‘Ivy’ and when she mentioned the lyrics I just screeeeeamed 🤩🤩

[@stardolphin783]

The church vibes are real LMAO

[@SeanBxnd]

True which is important church is cool

[@sarahyllescas4809]

Wow this was just amazing to taylor speak so eloquently and talk about this version of the song creating process.

[@jeanneseguineau6922]

Omg she needs to categorize all of her songs now

[@kajadamiano9917]

not Taylor bringing up evermore lyrics, i never thought she would haha

[@marialuizaferreira5951]

I've always wanted to define her different types of songwriting but never knew how to put it into words so I got it very quickly what she meant lol and btw quill and fountain pen genres are my fav but sometimes is good to dance in your room with a glittery gel pen song lol I love her for saying this bc my brain works in this way lol

[@rmsc9127]

Same here! I share your preferences, as well. Most of her singles fall in the glitter gel pen category and I think they're her weaker songs. For me, it's sad and disheartening that many people won't bother to listen to her quill/fountain pen songs simply because they think everything else she has is in the glitter pen category. Kudos to her! Lovely speech, as always. 😍

[@malakamgadd]

“is she about to me us?“ IM LAUGHING SO HARD

[@maya_htrabkcah]

8:38 for everyone who is looking for it

[@Swiftiehorselover]

Taylor always thanking everyone who made it all possible will never get old!!

She makes me so happy. I feel like i just got tucked in for bed and kissed goodnight on the forehead after having some good hot chocolate. She makes me feel like a kid around Christmas time and I'm 25

This stunning outfit gives me Rep vibes

[@sierralien6538]

I was actually there a few days ago for a tour of the auditorium and saw the dress in a display case that she is wearing in this video.

[@mikesmith6803]

I thought she said "and all you gotta do is rap it" my ears really perked up at blending of genres. I'm sure she already has plenty, I'm her executed producer. There's an exile out there with some what they call rap like you have never ever heard before, it's really really good. Is Bowery a John Wick reference? It's very true, I don't exist 🤗
