    @Maria An Her voice is fine. Easily recognizable when she sings. Is it the biggest, boldest, best vibrato, widest range, with whistle notes? No. She's not a vocalist (you know the ones who impress your with their vocal runs & belts... but you can't remember what the song was actually about). Swift is a singer-songwriter. For her, the story/song always takes preference. However... she has shown some impressive vocals... when the song calls for it.

    She is a musical genius. If she looked like Bob Dylan more people would agree. Being a young pretty female doesn't discount her genius. And for those who complain she writes about past relationships: what do Van Halen, Aerosmith, Bruno Mars, Billy Joel, and any other musician write about: world peace?? "Hot For Teacher" -- was that about global warming?

    I would say “supportive family” instead of privilege. Cause her family literally moved across the country and dedicated much time to her 11 years old daughter [they have a son too]. They believed in her and made sacrifices for it… So it’s a lot about having a supportive family who does believe in you (or at least want to give you a try)

Set the tone for the album and for the era. It was sort of saying, hey the reputation era is over, welcome to the lover era, and I don’t think Cruel Summer would have had that same effect.

Seeing her explain such a simple sentence with so many layers with such real passion and excitement is truly inspiring to me...just makes me sit back and go "huh :)" smiling to one side of my face in awe.

    Tony Ofarrell - Okay, but she still writes the songs. She always has. She even writes many of them completely on her own. She wrote the entirety of her third album Speak Now on her own without any cowriters. She also wrote songs like "State of Grace", "Red", "I Almost Do", "Stay Stay Stay", "Holy Ground", "Sad, Beautiful Tragic", "The Lucky One", "Starlight", "Begin Again", "This Love", "Lover", "Cornelia Street", "Daylight", and "Christmas Tree Farm" on her own. Why do people always feel the need to diminish or explain away a woman's talent or success? People have been questioning whether she ACTUALLY writes her songs since the beginning of her career, and I know for a fact that people don't do the same with Ed Sheeran.

    On the word Lover being polarizing I think it's beyond Taylor. Yes some people are simply creeped by the use of it sexually. But more than that, it's the casual use of such a powerful word, and meaning it. To call someone your lover is so intimate and strong that to do it so openly and unflinchingly scares more cynical less sentimental people because the concepts of love and forever are indeed scary and intense and not everyone knows how to be openly vulnerable the way (for example) songwriters are.

    also because lover is not used as much in the current generation. we have boyfriends and girlfriends and partners and baes. beau/ lover/ suitor are perhaps older as terminology and evolution go. also the more obvious sexual implication of lover as you rightly pointed out. also, lover is often used as a non heterosexual reference- often played for laughs in sitcoms, say FRIENDS or so.

    I cried after watching this. I only just recently started stanning Taylor *once more* ( got a love-hate fanship with her the past few years) and the whole of Lover album took me back home for good. What I like about her songwriting the most is how clear her vision is in each and every song she writes. I could watch her talk about her songwriting process all day honestly.

    Taylor Swift is a living proof that if you're talented, generous, kind and passionate about everything you do, you will go far both professionally and personally in life. I am so proud of how much I really am in love with this beautiful woman!

    The only pop singer along with gaga and Billie that actually writes her entire song from start to finish also it has always amazed me how each song starts with one line or one simple melody and turn into a global hit

    Well there are plenty of pop artists who write, but who writes well with a knack for storytelling would be the distinction.

    i can’t really put into words how impressed i am of taylor’s songwriting skills. i specially love when she shares us the journey of every track. it feels so vivid and raw and we could relate to the song more. i’ve probably said this a million times but i’ll never regret stanning taylor swift. she’s truly amazing and one of a kind woman 😭💜

    She is so talented. Lover is such a beautiful and universal song. The chorus is so powerful. I love how stripped-back the instruments are; they sound gorgeous and each stands out and contributes to the song while really allowing the lyrics to shine
