Q: Why did Taylor Swift get involved?
A: She loved the book, and there’s a beautiful section about the first time Jonas hears music. She’s a very thoughtful, intellectual person, and I think she loved the idea of people coming into contact with all these different firsts – their first time falling in love, first time experiencing music, first time experiencing color.
Also the role was perfect for her – we didn’t have to “Taylor” it. There was a role for a brilliant, thoughtful piano player, so the first person who pops into mind is Taylor.
