Taylor Swift Talks The Lack Of ‘Creative Constraints’ While Making Lover

Taylor Swift has been pulverizing the charts of popular music for the last thirteen years. It's astonishing to think about just how far she's come musically over the course of seven albums, evolving into a titan of the music industry and establishing control over her career pathway. In a new interview with Music Week, Swift opens up about the required advocacy for artists that comes with her status in the industry and why key it is to make design a good place in music. In short, without it, there could be a lot of people out there getting screwed over. She also discussed a little about the idea of creative control at this point in her career and why it contributed to her most recent album, Lover.


It's no secret that Swift is one of the primary musicians in the world. As Spider-Man's Uncle Ben said: "With fantastic power comes good responsibility." Realizing this although most likely not from the previous quote), Swift has made it a mission to supporter for artists and creators at all levels, whether it's for standing up labels, streaming services, or anything in between.


"I'm one of the only people in the artist realm who can be loud about it," she mentioned. "People who are on their fifth, sixth, or seventh album, we're the only ones who can speak out, because new artists and producers and writers need to work. They require to be endearing and likable and accessible to their labels and streaming services at all times. It's up to the artists who have been around for a second to mention, 'Hey guys, the producers and the writers and the artists are the ones who are making music what it is.' And we're in a fantastic place in music now thanks to them."


Swift also discussed briefly about Lover. The glitzy album, purified in pastels, is Swift at her most bold, buttery, and free. "In my previous situation, there were creative constraints, issues that we had over the years," she mentioned. "I've habitually given 100 percent to projects; I routinely over-delivered, thinking that the generosity could be returned to me. Nevertheless I ended up finding that generosity in a new situation with a new label that is aware that I deserve to own what I make."


"That meant so much to be because it was given over to me so freely," she mentioned. Whenever someone just looks at you and says, 'Yes, you deserve what you want soon after a decade or more of being told, 'I'm not sure you deserve what you want,' – there's a freedom that comes with that. It's like once people find 'the one,' they're like, 'It was easy, I just knew and I felt free.' And that made me feel I should make an album that was exactly what I wanted to make."
