The themes she covers in her songs have changed over the year. Still, she looks back fondly on the music she wrote as a teenager. While she said there were some early songs that no longer connected with who she was as a person, there were others she\u2019d always love. She said she\u2019d always perform one of her early songs in concert.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-taylor-swift-said-she-ll-always-play-one-of-her-songs-in-concerts\">Taylor Swift said she\u2019ll always play one of her songs in concerts<\/h2>\n<p id=\"par-2_25\">Swift can\u2019t play every song she\u2019s ever written in concerts. Still, she knows some old songs will always have a place on her set lists.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-3_40\">\u201cWhen I do a live show, there are certain songs fans really want to hear, and I\u2019m gonna always play those songs,\u201d she told NPR in 2014. \u201cThere\u2019s a song called \u2018Love Story\u2019 that I wrote when I was 17.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"emb-1\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Taylor Swift - Love Story\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8xg3vE8Ie_E?feature=oembed\" width=\"1320\" height=\"743\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p id=\"par-4_25\">Though she\u2019d matured since writing the song, she still felt connected to it. This was due in part to how much her fans love it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-5_60\">\u201cI\u2019m going to be playing that as long as I\u2019m playing concerts,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I can go back and I can connect to that song \u2014 because of the stories I\u2019ve heard from fans saying, \u2018We walked down the aisle to that song,\u2019 or how special I feel it was when that was our first No. 1 worldwide hit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-6_29\">This wasn\u2019t the case with all the songs she wrote in the early days of her career. She no longer felt particularly connected to her debut single, \u201cTim McGraw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-7_66\">\u201c\u2018Tim McGraw,\u2019 that song I don\u2019t really connect to as much. I connect to it in the form of nostalgia, but that was a song about a first love,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m in a very different place in my life right now, and I think you can only hope to grow so much, emotionally, that you can\u2019t necessarily connect to wide-eyed 15-year-old ideas of love anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-taylor-swift-still-had-the-same-goals-with-writing-songs-as-she-did-when-she-started-out\">Taylor Swift still had the same goals with writing songs as she did when she started out<\/h2>\n<p id=\"par-8_28\">The themes of Swift\u2019s songs have, naturally, changed as she ages. Still, she said she always has the same goal in mind when she works on an album.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-9_48\">\u201cI wrote my first album when I was 14 and 15, so now we\u2019re going on 10 years of making albums right now,\u201d she said. \u201cThe formula has never changed, in that I try to make an album that best represents the last two years of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-10_12\">She bared as much of herself as she could for her listeners.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-11_93\">\u201cPeople have essentially gotten to read my diary for the last 10 years,\u201d she said. \u201cI still write personal songs, and sometimes people like to put a very irritating, negative, spin on that \u2014 as if I\u2019m oversharing, as if it\u2019s too much information \u2014 when this has been the way I\u2019ve lived my life and run my career the entire time. So I do think it\u2019s really important that I continue to give people an insight into what my life is actually like, even though it comes at a higher cost now.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-she-tried-not-to-look-back-on-her-old-work-with-embarrassment\">She tried not to look back on her old work with embarrassment<\/h2>\n<p id=\"par-12_42\">Even though Swift felt less connected to songs like \u201cTim McGraw\u201d as she aged, she tried not to look back on her past work with any embarrassment. She felt it was more beneficial to celebrate herself at all stages of her life.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"emb-2\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GkD20ajVxnY?feature=oembed\" width=\"1320\" height=\"743\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p id=\"par-13_72\">\u201cEvery part of you that you\u2019ve ever been, every phase you\u2019ve ever gone through, was you working it out in that moment with the information you had available to you at the time,\u201d she told Time in 2023. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot that I look back at like, \u2018Wow, a couple years ago I might have cringed at this.\u2019 You should celebrate who you are now, where you\u2019re going, and where you\u2019ve been.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The subjects Taylor Swift covers in her songs have changed over the years.
