Taylor Swift Gives The Fans What They Want | Top 10 Taylor Swift Moments | The Graham Norton Show

yeah look.as rubber duck racing

fans

, wow, now

what

happens is you know it works like our radio stations play Taylor's version. Yes, in fact, one of the things he was most grateful for was that there is a company of many seasons. in America it's called iHeart and

they

've sworn to only play my new versions and

they

've said they'll swap them out for the old versions every time I release a new version of the song, which is so touching. for me because this is something that matters to me but I don't expect other people to care, it's something very personal to me and it takes a lot of work but it's really fun and rewarding for me and I get to do it.

I don't think people have really gotten behind it the way they have and by doing this, you know, revisiting your old work has led to this wonderful thing that's very good, now I know it's a short film now, yes, that's how it was. It was a short song, then it was a longer song and now it's a short film, so okay, how do I shorten this? Basically, very good, it was a song that originally came out on an album called Red that came out in 2012. I always loved it. The song was never a single, but the

fans

really loved this song and I made the mistake of telling the truth in an interview, that it had started out as a 10 minute song with like six or seven extra verses and we had to cut it down to four and a half minutes long and in the end my fans didn't let it go, they were like they were doing an interview for other albums later and they said: where is the 10? minute version where is it?

Basically, for the record I thought I was going to release the 10 minute version. I'm going to

show

you

what

it was and you know what I really

want

to do. I

want

to tell a story that accompanies it visually. That's more than a music video. Wanna. I had been directing my music videos for a while at this point and writing and directing them was a lot of fun for me. I love it, it's a very natural extension of my storytelling, so I thought I'd make a short film and actually make this song Justice and also create a short film that stands on its own, so I was really lucky to be able to do that.

I was able to cast Stie Sink and Dylan O'Brien to be these two young lovers and um, and I'm, I'm very, very, very proud of it. You let the actors improvise those scenes or you were writing that dialogue. As? it was written, but I always like to give people a view of AD's life and just say, okay, let's do it like it's written, but then let's do it like you know, freedom takes where you can do whatever, however you interpret this and like. would you add that I can't take all the credit for that writing and clearly you love it this is this is going to be a new string for your bow that would be a great honor I would do it I would do anything to keep learning and keep growing in that world in which she starts singing, she's going to take over the world, so it's like what you just said, it's basically an actor's dream, which is to have performed a scene according to the script and then when the director has enough faith in you like to go now and play with it, like it's the dream of being directed, so wow, please tell me the music.
