Swift \u2013 who is engaged to Travis Kelce, also 36 \u2013 writes to please her own tastes, rather than to match up with expectations and she is \u201cokay\u201d if fans don\u2019t like some of her songs.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cOftentimes when I love it to a certain degree, that tends to match up with people.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it could be that it doesn\u2019t match up with the way people feel until six years later.<\/p>\n
\u201cI loved the Reputation album. I was like, \u2018You guys say what you want. I know what I did. I love it. Go with God. Sorry. You can come around if you want. It\u2019s okay if you don\u2019t.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Swift also recalled how her latest song Elizabeth Taylor was inspired by a passionate rant during a car journey with Travis.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThere are so many different ways that a song begins in my world …<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m riding in the car with Travis.<\/p>\n
\u201cI go on and on in explaining to Travis, like, why I love Elizabeth Taylor so much. \u2018She fought for artists\u2019 rights. She was exploited in so many ways, and yet she kept her humanity. She kept her humour. She kept her passion for life.\u2019 I was just going on and on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, \u2018Her eyes were violet. Some people said they were blue. Some people said they were violet. I think they were violet.\u2019 We get home. He gets out of the car and I\u2019m just in my head just this intrusive melody … And I\u2019m just scrambling to open my record app on my phone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Swift \u2013 who is engaged to Travis Kelce, also 36 \u2013 writes to please her own tastes, rather…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[1975,430,29804,156,37119,1364,63004,2882,48062,5158,111,139,69,24808,3766,20863,427,11208,163,6736,1316,4276,30812],"class_list":["post-402515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-at","tag-celebrities","tag-date","tag-entertainment","tag-explains","tag-her","tag-letting","tag-love","tag-mad","tag-man","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-older","tag-parents","tag-she","tag-story","tag-swift","tag-taylor","tag-was","tag-when","tag-why","tag-wrote"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=402515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
