Thank you, Clara Amfo!

Taylor Swift the Live Lounge interview with Clara Amfo

You're the first, Clara Amfo, in the last 13 years or so who's been honest enough to admit that many used to speak pejoratively about Taylor Swift and her art, despite her brilliance in the various areas of intellectual property, influence and performance.

Well done!

I used to be picked on for liking Taylor music,

for liking country music,

for liking a 'white girl's work' (in spite of my nanny who I lived, was loved by, cared for and grew with til she died being in Kent hired by my parents, and she being my 'mommy' from 6 weeks, while my parents concentrated on 'panafricanism'), etcetera! 🤣😂

You've conducted an excellent Live Lounge interview on BBC, and you should be proud of yourself, Clara Amfo, Thank you.

Taylor Swift, I'm glad to say, is safe to be celebrated by fans now, thank to you, Clara Amfo.

“Today we’re all about the one miss Taylor Swift. So last Thursday myself and producer Dan flew to New York to Taylor’s home, yeah - she’s got several homes cause look, she’s Taylor Swift. She got home in Nashville, home in New York and we went and hung out with her at one of her preferred studios in the Big Apple and it was quite something, it was quite overwhelming actually. Like the whole machine and the whole sort of production around her is just impeccable. Nothing is not perfect, she is a perfectionist and now, look - you don’t get to be one of the biggest pop stars in the world without that kind of attention to detail. So she was there, her mom was there, her dad, her crew and back-up singers, full-on beautiful piano set up, guitars everywhere. I’ve been given a bag of Taylor Swift guitar picks from her dad Scott Swift, he introduced himself, he came and was like, ‘Hey, Scott Swift, I’m Taylor’s dad.’ I was like. ‘I kinda guessed that cause you said Scott Swift,’ but he was really nice and he gave a bag of guitar picks so I’m gonna be dashing them around the BBC Radio 1 office. But yeah, it was a really really fun experience to meet her, because look - I said to her after we did the conversation - she’s somebody that I’ve looked at sideways in the past before because there was always so much drama around her as well as fun stuff. And getting to actually sit down and chat with her, like she’s a lovely lady, she’s a nice girl, so we had a really good chat. […] She did 6 songs, but there’s some album deep cuts in there from her old albums, there’s a lot of new stuff, there’s a cover which is quite random and you’ll be hearing more of that at midday.”
