Taylor Swift Interview | Screen Test | The New York Times

[@amandamoskowitz7946]

everyone’s hating on her yet she’s the most soft and pure human. don’t hate on someone behind a screen.

[@hunniii2356]

Ikr everyone is brave behind a screen

[@FidaAifiya]

she was 11. she knew what she wanted, she knew how to do it and she got it. i am 19 and i cant even see where i am the next 2 years.

[@shaylaterkalas768]

[@valdaniels4078]

[@danieltran9634]

It's a bit dark but I hope she gets through this whole covid-19 situation.

[@juliaisbusy1839]

"I had to love being different or else i would just end up being dark and angry" oh god thiss line just...so many feels....

[@chingarell6578]

She's smart- the way she talks, the way she chooses her words. There's no yah? Yeh! she doesn't even say "cool! awesome! baby! freakin', bull.... " . Kudos to her parents. Taylor, you're brilliant.

[@pjgreen1786]

ching arell she says “y’know” & “like”, those are all lazy fillers.

[@upscaleavenue]

@@pjgreen1786 Oh, come on. Everyone uses those words. Scientists use them. She's obviously highly intelligent.

[@pjgreen1786]

Upscale Avenue she’s highly driven.

[@pusongmanhid]

she really looks like an angel? a fairy? a princess?

[@LovelyCake-uy3ju]

A queen

[@deybi5018]

Angel :)

[@m1llerf]

a goddess

[@sadcucumber324]

yall need to stop commenting on her looks; this interview was really sweet and inspiring and she looked gorgeous plus this was 6 frigging years ago surprise surprise people change in a span of six years

[@kokielababool2801]

she eventually talked about law of attraction. and where she is now. imagine yourself were you want to be. Everything is possible.

[@latifahibrahimahabiba9359]

and now she is the biggest star in the world

[@Domino13334]

10 years passed, she is now one of the best-selling (200 Million records), best touring (940 Million $), most awarded (425+ awards) and wealthiest (400 Million $) artists of all time. At the following award shows she is the most awarded female artist: American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, IHeart radio music awards and Teen Choice awards. She is also one of the most recognized female songwriters of all time. Well done Taylor. 😄

[@jillsarah7356]

This comment is from 4 years ago and she's had even more success since!!!

[@candacebrown6864]

am i the only one who thinks she looks beautiful and enjoys what she's saying?

[@corynnheizelman4363]

Nope :)

[@HIghballJordan11]

Candace Brown Definitely not. :) I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan, so I'm a bit biased. Heh. But I think she's gorgeous in this video, and she sounds like such a cool young woman. Every time I've seen her interviewed, I always come away impressed. And I am pretty sure that I'm a bit outside her demographic (I'm a guy in his mid-40s :) ).

[@beutifulamit]

She is so smart, inspiring, passionate.. and yet people are commenting on her looks? Way to miss the beauty of this video :/

[@hannahspencer9857]

Her comment about screaming people makes sense after watching Miss Americana. I'm glad she found another way to be happy.

[@shraviator]

just sad how everyone comments on her looks...but not on the actual content of what shes talking about...im not really a fan of her music, but im a fan of how she worked towards her dream~ haters gonna hate

[@mrkrabappleson]

+Shray - Is it sad that her looks made her a millionaire then? Because she wouldn't be rich or famous if she were butt ugly! I hate this attitude that women have where they seek male attention, then shame the same males who gave her that attention (and money).

[@laug1576]

@@mrkrabappleson you ok incel? Maybe she wouldn’t have the exact fame she has without her beauty and that’s a SOCIETY (and mostly male, may i say) problem, there are many many talented songwriters who don’t get acknowledged because they aren’t pretty blondes that you click on, but she’s not all beauty she’s actually a singer songwriter who plays 5 instruments. Grow up

[@sunnyandkaitlyn]

She's so beautiful in so many ways. She's wonderfully classy. She adores her fans. She writes amazing music. She has so much respect for everyone around her & for herself. I'm going going to see her in concert for the second time in November. Words can't describe how bad I want to meet her & thank her for what she's made my life.

honestly how can people hate her she's so pure

[@Liiimes]

Some people can see through the ''adorable'' facade, that's how.

[@shreyamathur824]

Naga or maybe some people just her because it's a trend to hate taylor swift without any reason.

[@13リナ]

@@Liiimes yep, after everything now, it's definitely a hate bandwagon people are joining in.

[@MonikaUp]

And now she is ruling the world with her Eras tour 🥺🌟💘👏 So proud of her.

[@missbluebutterfly6508]

Such an inspiration! Those moments where she's telling about herself being isolated or not having many friends when she's in school? Aahh.. I can even relate. I can't help myself to comment! 😅 I really admire her. So polite and honest everytime she answers questions and telling stories how she began building up her career and or success 🤗💗😩💜

[@LopeForestLope]

She is almost too good to be true. We need more people like Taylor in the world ♥

[@Queentaylor13]

I can hear her talking all day, i mean the way she talks and her voice is adorable

[@stred3862]

God, seeing all these comments from even 12-13 years ago make me feel sooo.. sad and nostalgic. I was born in 1997 and I've been a fan of hers since 2008, I can't believe it's been so long, sometimes I wish I could go back to the Speak Now, Red and 1989 era and relive my childhood/adolescence, when I read these comments I realize it's been so freaking long.

[@namithavinod3323]

She's really admirable

[@Anika_P]

i really watch every taylor swift interview i can find on youtube. i love her so much and her interviews are so amazing! ♥

[@a.jarellano5418]

"I definitely was more nervous walking into my 1st day of my freshman year of high school than I was walking up to record labels and handing them my CDs."

[@lillihorton3899]

Taylor looks exactly the same now as she did then! The lighting is a bit weird in this interview, but if you google taylor in 2009 and compare her to today, she looks the same, just older with slightly different make up!! She still looks gorgeous though!

[@SVETpadil]

She's born for the music industry..💜✨

[@Fearless13781]

I love watching Taylor interviews so much because she's so amazing to interview!

"when you want to succeed as much as you want to breath, than you'll be successful" this is such a good quote but I forget who it is, but you have to give it to Taylor, she had a dream and she made it happen!

i like taytay with curvy hair

i think people worry too much on taylor's flaws. try to focus on the actual interview than picking out the complete obvious that is to her :)

[@aurangey]

Such an inspirational and down-to-earth artiste.

[@steph61585]

I loooove Taylor Swift. She has so much class and she's an amazing song writer. She's beyond her age. And she doesn't prance around half naked, or sing songs with ulterior meanings to gain her fan base either. Why are people talking about her love life on here? Lol, dating is what people do before they settle down.

[@trombone7]

I've watched 5 or 6 of these NYT interviews, and this is the most down to earth one yet.

she's the most positive person ever!

[@claudiasagwa4526]

I'm a little confused about the little mermaid story. She says she was 3 and coming back from the movie theatre with her parents and singing the songs but the movie came out in 1989 a few months before Taylor was even born

[@n.7103]

There are some kind of theathers that played old movies.

[@mjae28]

I saw you in concert on 10-30-11 in Memphis Tn.. I got 5 feet away from toughing you. 1 day after that we were driving home from trick or treating and heard you on the radio and I started crying. I love u so much.-Macie

[@Livialaughs]

You know why I am soo glad Taylor is in our world right now? Because look around. You can't name one other popular artist that doesn't rap, cuss, and talk about drugs and sex. I am soo happy Taylor has a part in the music industry today. Shes a great role model. Unlike those other stupid artists, she's pure, beautiful, ALWAYS thanks her fans, and never fails to amaze me.

[@katanaxmusic]

As if rapping is inherently negative 🙄

[@jumagua]

many people do!!! The only difference is that she isn't afraid to love who she is...and that´s the greatness in all this =) She really is unique!! And i think she has an amazing personality!!

[@Jenna-fj6qc]

Aw I love her so much I miss when her hair was like this I wish she would start wearing it like this again ❤️

[@TheRoxxi23]

I love Taylor Swift so much not only for her beautiful voice and talent, but because I can really respect her as a person which is really rare in celebrities nowadays. I know lots of people say she's no good or Kanye gave her all her fame or whatever, but even if you don't like her kind of music you have to admit she DOES have talent, and she had fame long before Kanye ever entered the picture.

[@directionerstyels4132]

[@serema_]

The first movie she remembered seeing was "The Little Mermaid". A song in the upcoming brand-new album is called "But daddy, I love him". This is a line from the movie mentioned. And also, the interview is in black and white like the album cover aesthetic. Is this coincidence?

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

I really don't get why people are criticising her appearance in this, she actually looks healthy here, not borderline-anorexic as she does these days

[@isabellavizzacchero9391]

+CosmicUndeadElf Just because somebody is skinny or thin doesn't mean they're borderline anorexic, or unhealthy. I'm thin and healthy, it's my bone structure, it doesn't mean you starve yourself.

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

Isabella Vizzacchero That's why I said "borderline" anorexic

[@Fl00r0]

CosmicUndeadElf She just works out now

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

Floor C She looks alright these days, but earlier last year she just looked too thin in opinion. Not saying she actually starved herself though.

[@lynnsartncrafts]

It'll be weird if she's fat. Her bone structure is such that she's thin because of the size of her bones in proportion to her height. She has thin bones for her height.

[@IchiGoRiru]

It's always the nicest people that gets bullied, it's sad, but true.. But it's also true that the people who get bullied are the ones who end up with better lives than the bulliers.. I never had more than one friend going through high school and college, but the ones who were mean to me were the ones who got the worst grades, and they were always the ones ending up losing their friends. Today I feel like a mature woman at 20, and the people who bullied me looks excactly the same.

[@chenruro4668]

i hope she never does an major plastic makeover. it would ruin her.
