Taylor Swift Breaks Down the Three Distinct ‘Genre Categories for Lyrics I Write’ in Accepting Songwriting Award (Read the Full Speech)
, teasing the audience as she accepted an award in Nashville Tuesday night, leading at least some of the attendees to be on the edge of their seats. And because it was an audience mostly of songwriters, they stayed there, even when the secret to be revealed turned out to have to with classifications of different types of lyrics she has kept in her head for years.
Swift had a great punchline in her speech, although it was one that was “written” by the songwriting sibling team the Warren Brothers. “Part of my re-recording process has included adding songs that never made the original albums, but songs I hated to leave behind,” she noted. “‘Fearless,’ my version, came out last year and as I was choosing songs for it, I came across one I’d written with the Warren Brothers when I was 14.
I’ve learned by being in the entertainment industry for an extended period of time that this business operates with a very new, new, new, next, next, next mentality. For every artist or songwriter, we’re all just hoping to have one great year. One great album cycle. One great run at radio. And these days, one song that goes viral on TikTok. One glorious moment in the sun. Because on your next project you’ll probably have to invent a new thing to be.
And I’ve never talked about this publicly before, because, well, it’s dorky. But I also have, in my mind, secretly, established genres categories for lyrics I write. Three of them, to be exact. They are affectionately titled Quill Lyrics, Fountain Pen Lyrics, and Glitter Gel Pen Lyrics. The third category is called Glitter Gel Pen and it lives up to its name in every way. Frivolous, carefree, bouncy, syncopated perfectly to the beat. Glitter Gel Pen lyrics don’t care if you don’t take them seriously because they don’t take themselves seriously. Glitter Gel Pen lyrics are the drunk girl at the party who tells you that you look like an Angel in the bathroom. It’s what we need every once in a while in these fraught times in which we live.
