TAYLOR SWIFT SONGWRITING KNOWLEDGE

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
THE THREE LYRIC GENRES (from her 2022 NSAI Songwriter-Artist of the Decade speech)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════

Swift categorizes every lyric she writes by the figurative writing tool she imagines using:

QUILL LYRICS
Antiquated, flowery, period-piece language — like a letter written by Emily Dickinson's great-grandmother while sewing a lace curtain. Words and phrases that feel out of place in modern conversation but land with enormous emotional weight. Inspired by 19th-century literature and the Romantic movement.
