💬| Taylor made a firm stance in her speech at the SHOF about how she backs the music she puts out regardless of the feedback she gets, good or bad:
“My favorite art is detailed and singular in its voice, therefore it can’t be digested and metabolized by everyone who experiences it in the same way. I’m very frequently told by people how they feel about my music, that they never really got my music until they got their heart broken, or started driving their daughter to school every day, or until I made an alternative album in the pandemic called folklore, or that they only like the hits, or that they only liked the ones that weren’t hits, or that they don’t like any of it at all. But it doesn’t feel uncomfortable for me to get feedback of all sorts because I know where I stand regarding the work I’ve made. As writers, we can only hope to meet people where they are in their lives, but you can’t ever orchestrate or force the encounter. “
