When It Comes to Her Music, She Won’t Compromise
When Swift told Big Machine Records founder Scott Borchetta that she hadn’t recorded a country album, “he went into a state of semi-panic.” Swift tells Billboard he pleaded that she countrify the album. “Can you give me three country songs?” and “Can we put a fiddle on ‘Shake it Off’?” are two questions Swift recalls him asking. “All my answers were a very firm ‘no,’ because it felt disingenuous to try to exploit two genres when your album falls in only one.”
CAN WE PUT A FIDDLE ON SHAKE IT OFF.
SCOTTY.
