The View From the Driver’s Seat of Big Machine

Quote:

She does musical things people don’t expect. As the label head, is that scary or thrilling?
It’s awesome. I have been one of the biggest encouragers behind the scenes, always. Go back nine years ago, on the first album. If you’d said to me, “‘Shoulda Said No’ sounds like an ’80s rock song,” I’d have said, “Yes, what’s your point?” The reason I bring that up is, we were in the studio for the last day, she and Nathan Chapman. She goes, “I just wrote this song; I really like it. I can’t wait to play it for you, but I have all these musicians here. Can I cut it?” And I said, “Of course.” She was always pushing the envelope to make it as relevant and timely as possible for her own world. Every single record up until 1989, there was a song she had written that had to make the record last minute.

What are your thoughts on Apple’s response to Taylor?
First off, I think Apple’s response says so much about Taylor. Not only is she the biggest star in the world, but she is truly the leader and spokesperson for her generation. I am so incredibly proud of her and what she stands for.

Only a solo songwriter could do that

When she declines in 5 years we'll see what this generation truly thinks of her when they reflect back.

In 5 years huh, I guess the "she will decline next album" story got proven wrong one too many times.

Queen of taking 5 years to decline

Can't_M!ss_This

Of course a label head would say that. I mean she's big but I don't think she's the biggest. Think of the Queen of England or A list movie stars who've been A list for decades.

He talks about how they develop their artists in the interview. In fact, it is probably one of the most exciting music business interviews i have ever read. The Taylor parts in the OP were irrelevant in the context of the actual interview, y'all should give it a read!

Same company, of course.

Would Scott the CEO of Taylor's label lie?

LMAO

AMENHOOKER

Why do you all always have to try her?

I agree with what he said
'Cause it's the truth
