Taylor Swift was recently praised by Conan Gray for ‘raising an
entire generation of songwriters,’ and he is clearly speaking facts! Let’s get into it.
From the “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me” days,
to her critically acclaimed album, “Folklore,” and more recently, “Red (Taylor’s Version),”
it’s pretty undeniable that Taylor Swift has a massive impact on music.
And it seems like she’s getting some major recognition after singer Conan Gray gushed
over Taylor for “raising an entire generation of songwriters” during a recent interview.
Conan made his Swiftie side known after he praised our girl for being such a significant
figure in the music industry, especially because Tay writes all of her own songs.
While sitting down with GQ, Conan was asked about Taylor and opened up about how she
might have inadvertently helped hundreds of young songwriters to get their start.
Conan revealed to the mag, “Taylor raised an entire generation of songwriters.
She taught a lot of people how to write pop songs.”
Yep, sounds about right! I mean, it’s no wonder Tay is such a significant
figure to young musicians, being a chart-topping artist, songwriter,
record-breaking singer…of course she’s an inspiration!!
Conan added that “Teardrops On My Guitar” was not only the first Taylor song he listened to
that changed him as a songwriter, but also, one of the first music videos he ever watched as a kid.
He went on to explain to GQ, “My family had one computer that we all would use
and I remember we all huddled around it and watched together,”
and added, “I remember thinking, Wow, Taylor Swift is the coolest person on the earth.”
We couldn’t agree more and how sweet!
And it looks like Conan definitely isn’t the only one who just can’t get enough of Tay. Obviously.
The IFPI recently announced that Taylor was the biggest female
artist of 2021–worldwide. But are we surprised?
“I mean, you know it!”
Umm yeah, talk about well-deserved! 2021 was for sure Taylor’s year.
If that wasn’t already impressive enough,
Taylor’s latest milestone marks the third year in a row that she’s in the top 2!
“I just need to see that this isn’t a joke”
Yep, seems like Tay just can’t stop breaking records,
and honestly? we couldn’t be more proud of our girl!
Obviously, Taylor is such a talented songwriter,
and we love that Conan was able to gush over his musical icon in this recent interview.
Does this mean we expect a future collab between these two?? Send it our way ASAP, please!
