Each fairy tale needs a happy end, and after 11 albums of love, heart and destroyed dreams Taylor Swift found her prince magic. But after she announced her engagement with Trevis Kels, what will the new Swift’s new happiness mean for her music?
The greatest gift of Swift as lyrics is how she weaves her own story into her songs, balanced by intricate, specific details with universal themes of love, hope, heart break and betrayal.
And from the very beginning, the love life of the music has become a connective tissue of its writing.
Her debut single, Tim McGgraWritten during the school class of mathematics, it was all about your boyfriend, Drew Dunlap.
Considering that they dispersed before he went to college (anticipation that came true), she wrote a song to mark the times they were slowly provided in the moonlight to the car radio: “If you think Tim McGgra/hope you think about me.“
This is an eternal story – the one that is destined to repeat in the Fresher Weeks across the country this fall – and will lead to a career story about the romantic hardship of Swift.
She writes about emotionally unavailable men (Jake Jilelhaal, Everything is too good) by falling on a bad boy (Harry stils, I knew you had trouble) and rebound romances (Tom Hiddlston, Range).
In all this, she knew about the intrusive level of discussions around her relationship. In Get rid of itShe was interested in the media discourse: “I keep too much dates / but can’t make them stay / at least that’s what people say.“
Is empty He went on a step further, taking all the terrible rumors about his love life and enhanced her satirical taste.
“In the last couple of years, the media had a wonderful fixing in the picture of me as a psycho” Date “,” ” She told the Museum Grammy. “Each article looked like,” Here is Taylor Swift, who was standing next to a guy. Keep track of the guys! “
“My first reaction was to be like,” This is a bummer. It’s not fun for me. “
“But my second reaction was:” Hey, this is actually a really interesting character they write about: she’s planes around the world collect men – and she can get anyone, but she’s so clumsy that they leave, and she cries in her marble bath surrounding. “
“I liked:” I can use it. “
This is the theme to which she returned last year But dad, I love it -This, where she liked the online criticism of her relationship with the mother of Hill 1975, to the village full of Puritans owned by the pitchforks.
Faced with her audience, she swore: “I’ll tell you something about my good name / it’s just mine to shame / I’m not satisfied with all these viper, dressed in the Empatha clothes.“
Now it is reduced to reject the Swift catalog (274 songs and counting) into the soap opera about her love life.
She wrote insightful and witty texts about the media (“You wouldn’t last an hour in the shelter where they raised me“, Who is afraid of my little old man?); About joyful friendship ties (“We are happy, free, confused and lonely“, 22) and even get away with murder (“I cleaned enough houses to know how to cover the scene“, No body no crimes).
But they did not call it “the greatest diary” and “Maestro memory”.
So what happens when it coincides? As soon as her friend and employee Florence Welch from Florence and the car once noted: “A pleasure is a killer of creativity.”
“Marriage bliss and home boredom tend to make less interesting rock -a fossil than looking for love,” the journalist and author of Hadley Freeman agrees, speaking under the BBC Radio 4 program.
For evidence, look for no further than the Springstin Bruce. In 1991, he married his Comrade for Patti Skialf, dissolved the street E and moved to California.
Springstin celebrated his new peace with two albums, Human Touch and Lucky Town – but they are regularly called the worst.
Women’s artists often use to get a source of inspiration.
Madonna’s light ray, written after the birth of Lourdees’s daughter, dodged from the brazen Person of the 1980s for a more spiritual, psychedelic sound. Among the fierce competition, he remains her best album, and I will fight everyone who says otherwise.
If the Biones revealed her child on stage at MTV 2011The observers stumbled over themselves to think what it could mean to her music. But her next Biones album 2013 became a turning point – a devastating, experimental, futuristic R&B album that put a template for the third act of her career.
Swift has already proved that he could write affected, moving songs from the place of happiness. Her six -year relationships with Joe Alvin created songs such as the “gentle and lover”, which are among her best work.
She already wrote two songs about Kels, both of which appeared last year’s album of cataish poets.
Upon So high schoolShe told how his chivalry resumed her faith in men (“Get the door of my car, isn’t it sweet?“), while Alchemy Rapeseed about the moment he won the Super Bowl and ignored the trophy to “come to me.”
Recently, the star confirmed that her future 12 -album “Life Showgirl” is “more optimistic” than the other materials at the Department of Cathedral Poets, which is heavily engaged in its split with Alvin and stormy relations with Hill.
Speaking on the NEW HEPTSShe said Showgirl was recorded during the European era of a record era, allocating it in the early stages of her relationship with Kels.
“It’s just coming out, for example, the most infected, wild, dramatic place in which I was in my life … And so that a gap appeared in this record,” she said.
Summarizing it more succinctly, Kels called the “12 Bangers” album.
So, to return to the original question: Will Taylor’s music reflect her new happiness? It would be strange if it weren’t.
But we will not forget that its last period of everyday bliss during the relationship with Alvin also pushed the deviation from the texts of the diary.
Pandemic and Evermore albums have enclosed a fictitious, fantastic story, installed on the background of organic, acoustic sound landscapes.
They noted the turning point in the cultural recognition of Swift, rejuvenating their careers after an uneven and poorly perceived album of the lover.
If the marriage pushes another shift, it can open a brand new section in her career.
“There is a whole kingdom of other materials when you are married or settled,” said Olivia Peter, who told Radio 4. “So this is a different kind of fairy tale, a different kind of fantasy in which it is now coming.”
Some fans have already noted that the happy star number – 13 – her 13th album will be the first to address her marriage.
For a conspiracy set up by Swifties, it almost looks as if it planned it all the time.
