Taylor Swift on Katie The First Half -- Katie Couric

[@HernilLynn]

I just recently like her because of Reputation. I noticed in interviews, she looks down and sometimes holds her hands together. I think she was originally an introvert and became an ambivert. I really like her personality. She was really raised properly by her parents. She is so humble.

[@gm.8805]

ikr

[@Rachel.DawnAmber]

She still does it even til this day. Her Introverted self is probably partly because she was "bullied" in school by mean "friends" and left alone to sit on lunch tables by herself. So happy she's better now

[@เบล-ธ8ซ]

She's active, easygoing, like to be the center of attention and sociable I think she's definitely an extrovert but she has a lot of introvert personality /so confuse🤔

[@meganlaneswift5778]

I agree in alot of ways - just would add "introvert" is sometimes naming mannerisms that are very lady - like territory ; and without a doubt ,describes this artist . I figure she was and is adventuresome in what she was/is curious about ; in ways an introvert would shy from.

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]

As an introvert myself I cannot imagine extroverting to the degree that she does without becoming seriously mentally ill.

If only she knew back then what she’d become. The only person to outdo Taylor Swift is Taylor Swift. Legend.

[@kdmarrison8845]

Yes She changed Clear to see & hear with her Reputation Era With hindsight she might have avoided the Jingle Ball appearances in London But then all the big stars get co-opted by the dark underbelly of the Music industry

[@detectivetaylorswift]

I feel so bad 22 year old Taylor was so insecure but I’m glad that 32 year old Taylor finally found herself and is really secure.

[@Supernova-iz2qo]

Shy? Maybe a bit but maybe just careful and well behaved? ;) I think its sweet that she was a tiny bit shy and not coming in like a wreckingball trying to be all over the place running people over with full speed xD I like that shes sitting pretty like a lady and that shes so ladylike in general

In the fan's defense, this interview was filmed right as Red was being released (either the day before it came out or sometime during release week, i can't remember), so no one knew the songs from Red too well.

[@Alc800]

I feel like everyone commenting here is concerned about the fact that the fan didn't know any answers...whereas I just can't stop thinking about the fact that Taylor has voices in her head that say "You can't do it. You're a loser." Like she is so incredible and never deserves to feel that way.

When Katie brings up the whole scarf thing and actually mentions Jake I LOST IT.

[@joannfarris]

I think Katie should have been more professional. When Taylor said I don't talk about myself. Katie should have been able to go to a comfortable place.ivr done a lot of interviews in my life. Your guest is the Hero of the interview. She knew Taylor is shy about talking about herself. Find another topic. How about future songs/ music. DWTS she is going to be on with her music. Katie you blew it.

Back from the future after Taylor's versions released, she said at this time she was taking breaks from interviews just to cry. She was at a sad place. Glad she's found the 1.

[@ErickVideoGameGuy]

This is interesting to watch so close to The Tortured Poets Department (it's like nearly a month at the time I'm writing this, March 13, 2024), specifically her writing process back then in how she reflected on her emotions during writing, and it's pretty clear that the next album will be a breakup one and even for the photoshoot there are parallels between Red, I'm so excited for TTPD and I can't wait to hear it. Honestly if I were Taylor's boyfriend and then broke up and then she writes a song about me, I'd send her an email telling her that her newest song is a masterpiece. Okay, now being serious, I love how they talked about the male fans and how they're hidden, while Taylor will probably never read this (I think no one will even read this), it's ME! Hi I'm a male swiftie and a straight one which are extremely rare in this world, I'd say we're rarer than the most rare Pokemon card, but we exist. Watching this after the entirety of 2016 (8 years after it) and so many things did actually happen, the Kimye controversy, writing for other artists and disappearing for nearly a year and while it's sad that all of this happened, life is always up and down, one day you have the best day ever and the other one is just so shitty that you want it to be over, but from those days you learn a lot and it's better to move on than just give up, let's take a look at where Taylor is now, if she decided to give up after 2016, a lot of things wouldn't have happened so, 2016 was her biggest low but we got reputation after that and many more things after that. And fun fact, on the place this interview was taken there's a Prophet synth, which was used a lot during 1989, in fact it's the bass on Blank Space. PD: Taylor: I'm not someone who yells at someone and throw tantrum. Me watching after coming off the 1989 era and watching for the 70000th time the Blank Space MV: yeah, she's definitely not that... (I know it's a character but it's kinda funny).
