The singer has put the same rage into her breakup songs as Nicks put into her music, has experimented with country-pop just like Twain, and shares the songwriting style of Mitchell quite often. However, some of Taylor Swift’s biggest inspirations when it comes to her lyrics are quite unexpected.<\/p>\n

As much as she was a country music fan growing up, like a lot of teenagers in the 2000s,\u00a0Taylor Swift also loved pop-punk\u00a0bands. While promoting her seventh studio album,\u00a0Lover, Taylor Swift wrote an article for\u00a0Elle UK, where she talks about the writing that has inspired her work throughout her career. Swift discussed her love for\u00a0making music that transports people back in time and how Panic! at the Disco does that for her.<\/p>\n

<\/picture><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn 2020 and 2022, Taylor Swift collaborated with two of her favorite artists and went on to win highly coveted Grammy Awards with both of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
According to Swift, anytime she hears the band’s 2005 single “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” she’s immediately taken back to her teenage days, driving around Tennessee with her high school best friend, Abigail. The same year, in a\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0article, Swift confessed that\u00a0Fall Out Boy has lyrically inspired her more than anyone else. Swift specifically referenced the “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down” lyric “a loaded god complex, cock it and pull it,” as one of the genius ways the band has taken common phrases and twisted them.<\/p>\n
Swift has done this in her own career, like in 2020’s “champagne problems,” when she sings “One for the money, two for the show \/ I never was ready so I watched you go.<\/em>” However, in the 2019 interview, Swift admitted that\u00a0Fall Out Boy was the inspiration behind the title of her\u00a0Lover<\/em>\u00a0track “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince,”<\/strong>\u00a0which she opened the Eras Tour with.<\/p>\nA Red Track Best Showcases Fall Out Boy’s Inspiration<\/h2>\n
