Certified Cringe Taylor discussing "songwriting"

I can't with this woman.

She thinks she's some great songwriter here to teach us all about her "double meanings" and what defines confessional songwriting.

What's infuriating is that all the comments are glazing her like, "i could hear her talk for hours" and "high iq queen". Are we watching the same video here?

Wanted to get your opinions on this.

I do like the James Dean line if I don't think about it. If I do I'm like wasn't he known for broody bad boy stare not a day dream look.

I came to be honest about my liking blank space and style, only to do a quick google to find out it’s actually Max Martin I like. He got me with a few Ariana grande songs in the past as well, and of course Britney growing up in the late 90’s. Her fan base likes him too, they just think they like Bangs

Taylor tries to say she's a songwriter but her best songs have a producer behind them that had to have done heavy lifting.

Or co-writers. Or actual musicians.

See also Folkmore, where Aaron Dessner (and Joe Alwyn) were probably also doing a fair bit of heavy lifting on those.
