#(such a prototype of swiftian lyricism)

Lol, I can't find story where she said her dad & older people in the audience were crying. youtu. be/2XWx2NNtii8 jamestaylor. com/l4lm-james-taylor-swift-a-songwriting-love-story/ After TS joined his concert briefly, JT said “Elvis just left the building. I really want to thank Taylor for taking the time out of her busy schedule to join us.” He got his 1st #1 on Billboard 200 after 45 years (replaced 1989 in '15). She also sang with Carly Simon (she was told the secret guy of "You're So Vain").

i would say who didn't cry at that performance? but i am 1. a notorious weepy, 2. always emotional about fire and rain.

THIS PART THOUGH:

Due to her high-profile status, her glorification by an adolescent fan base, lyrics about puppy love and high school, and her model-like appearance, music lovers outside her fan base are quick to dismiss. To disregard Miss Swift without even listening to a tune, or dissecting a lyric, is truly doing one’s self a disservice. The top earner in the music industry in 2011 hasn’t won every single award one can win including the Grammy for Album of the Year, earning over $100 million from a sold-out 16 month 89-city tour, with no public missteps, by accident. Can 16 million Twitter followers be wrong? Sometimes one is contrarian, going against something popular because it’s not yet accepted as cool. Ultimately, it is not cool to claim to be an avid music fan, yet miss out on a genius of our generation due to pre-conceived notions.

we've all been saying this for well over a decade!!!

i think ALL the time about: you walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht, your hat strategically dipped below one eye, your scarf it was apricot...the specificity, the scene painting, the storytelling, it's very clear taylor's roots are in writers like carly simon, carole king, and the like. she learned how to utilize and craft those details and emotions in their footsteps, while still being uniquely her own.
