🚨Brad Paisley speech inducting Taylor into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame: “This is somebody who has conquered the world and done it with songs. All of us were like, 'How is this teenager doing this? How is she so brilliant?' And then she goes off and really put her feelings into something that is 100% hers, writes the Speak Now album all by herself, It's an amazing thing to watch her evolution from somebody who realized this all starts with a song, to take that exact thing and change the world with it."

“It’s not lost on me how crazy this is. I will cherish it forever because Nashville is the place that honed and polished the thing about myself and the thing about my life that I am the most proud of and the most passionate about. So to be here with you and to be getting to have this moment, I am truly grateful, and it just feels like one of those amazing Nashville moments I’m going to revisit on a rainy day. Thank you so much.” Taylor Swift’s speech at the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame

Taylor Swift on her self-titled debut album turning 20 years old: “….And I am shocked and stunned to say that as “of a couple days ago, that album is 20 years old. I’ve been very fortunate I’ve gotten to genre hop and travel the world and write with so many different people and in so many different ways. And the only reason that I’ve been able to have that kind of dexterity in my creative process is because of the fundamentals and the foundation that I learned here in Nashville. And I never forget that for a single second when I tell every single person I know about what we have here. And I’m so incredibly honored to be inducted into this sacred club, especially at this point in my life.

Taylor Swift talks about fame during her Nashville songwriters hall of fame speech: “Fame, that’s sort of a byproduct of my love for music. It’s kind of like songwriter plus Nashville equals fame. It’s why a lot of people know the words to my music, which is awesome. It’s also why there’s sort of like these daily random doses of chaos that just pop up in my life every once in a while, every couple of hours. That can be kind of weird, but I have tools in place in my mind that help me navigate that and get back to true north when life feels so bizarre.”

Taylor Swift talks about songwriting and Nashville during her Nashville hall of fame speech: “I started writing songs when I was a little kid and I knew from the time I wrote my first song that even if it couldn’t be my career, it would be my passion. It would be what I centered my entire life around. Nashville is the place that I went to in my middle school daydreams. It was the place where all the wisdom that I wished to acquire existed in one place. All the lessons that I wished to learn existed in this magical place for me. And it ended up being all of that and more. It ended up being everything.”

🚨Taylor Swift’s speech at the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame: “One thing that I did learn is that songwriters, although they possess a superhuman ability to understand and interpret the human condition and like insane levels of empathy, they are just people too, and they are people who are in a lot of ways raised me and guided me through formative years.”
