Taylor Swift Shares her Songwriting Techniques for 5 Minutes Straight

[@agoodgirlsguidetotaylorswift]

not only does making music help taylor understand life and relate with people, it also showcases the dictionary in her head- taylor taught me better vocabulary than my english teacher, and she doesnt even english

[@shivamarora309]

That's how I think too. That's how I write. It's personal. It's emotions that I have to get rid of and place it somewhere.

[@FoodNerds]

I write personal but I also just have ideas and music which I never like my music but that what happens. 😂

What she said the thing about the girl at the wedding that never dances gets out and dances to that one....let me tell you the power of Taylor Swift, I went to gay karaoke the other night bc I’m gay and I love karaoke...people were singing, it was a good time, then I sung Karma, my partner sung another and then everyone started singing Taylor songs! And at the end of the night the bartender said they’d been wanting to host a Taylor night but didn’t know if they have the demographic, yes....yes...Taylor you get us all out on that dance floor and we love you so much for all that joy and healing you bring us...and most of all, how you can and do bring us together.❤️🌈

[@jarastar6499]

I had a personal thought when she shared that thought as well!! Last month at my Christmas work party, there was a dance floor and lots of people were dancing and having fun, but I’m really not a good dancer and so I was just kinda standing on the side the whole night. But then Anti-Hero came on and my boss literally dragged me out onto the floor (she’s a huge swiftie) and like 4 of us made a little dance circle and it was super fun

[@samkcatladyaks]

@@jarastar6499 awww that’s so precious! I hope you get out and dance more and have more Taylor moments!:)

[@klm1105]

I went to a birthday party with my 2 Swiftie friends and this is what happened. “I PROMISE THAT YOU’LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER LIKE ME-HE-HEEE” and “I’M JUST GONNA SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE I SHAKE IT OFF.” And the funniest thing is that like 85% of the party were boys who hated Taylor and were super annoyed with us but it just made it 10x more fun and it is one of my favorite memories with those friends. Taylor’s music has always brought me and my friends together, one of my friends barely knew her and now she can sing the entirety of “Getaway Car” ❤

When I write a song I start with the chorus and then verse and pre chorus and then the bridge...the chorus is the heart of the song.

[@Song_Aholic]

True!

[@JesusGomez-ob2qt]

I saw a video on youtube and 20 of her songs have the exact same chord progression which makes me feel less insecure about my writing 😊 Also I'm going to see her in concert in August!!!! She really is awesome and seems like a really nice person.

[@ronniedane1758]

Yeah it's easy with her stuff,just fall down the stairs and whatever comes out write it down.

[@Song_Aholic]

:))))))

[@constans4]

Yeah, just write a paragraph whining about latest ex-boyfriend she got bored with--or they got bored with her--and try to shoe-horn it into a tuneless musical arrangement. That's it. Her songs are forgettable five minutes after you've heard them. I can still remember all the lyrics to American Pie and not a single line of one Swift's pointless, self-obsessed songs. The fact that she says "you can do it too" is proof enough that her songs are amateurish, and that her success is at least half through the vicarious connection her fans have with her Aryan-Nordic presence; they wish they were her.

[@trllmnella7259]

She has over 800 song credits. Folklore was basically pure fiction and had very little to do with any exes. She wrote some of the most beautiful powerful lyrics I'd ever heard on that album. I wasn't a taylor fan until I actually took the time too look deeper. It's abundantly clear that you're judging her songs based off a small profile of radio favorites. American pie ffs 😏🙃😆

[@bullcrap9409]

I’ve listened to Swift numerous times. And each time I think. wow. It’s boring, repetitive, unoriginal.

[@zeckham100]

I don't think the rest of the world agrees with you. She writes or co writes every song on her albums, she writes songs for movies and for other artists. She has awards for songwriting. I am not talking about her singing awards but specifically for songwriting.
