Swift writes songs in her head. She usually creates the melody first and then she'll stick lyrics into that melody or the song that's coming to her. For some of her most recent albums ever more in folklore, she had a really different process than how she typically sits down to write an album. It kind of came together. Like everything is coffee. And Taylor Swift obviously is a creative genius.
Welcome to the first episode in our new weekly series, Friday Philosophies.
Join us each Friday as we explore the mental models, frameworks, and rituals of creative baddies, and dive into our favorite philosophies to uncover the peculiarities and common threads between them.
This week, we’re peeking behind the curtain into the mind of the prolific Taylor Swift, to muse on the rituals and divergent strategies that have guided her career so far.
In this episode, we cover:
- What rituals guide Taylor’s approach to songwriting
- How to nurture the mystical and inexplicable moments when a fully formed idea pops into your head
- Her preferred morning routine and transition into creative work
- Her philosopphies on collaboration and finding inspiration
