00:00
That's not me, Espresso, I'm a homewrecker, I'm a s**t.
00:03
Ugh, not my favorite.
00:13
And I got this one boy, and he won't stop calling.
00:16
I saw something online that said, someone thought that line was,
00:19
and I got this femme boy, and he won't stop calling.
00:22
It's so funny, I need to enunciate better, but I'm glad you guys, it is one boy.
00:28
I got this one boy, and he won't stop calling.
00:30
But this is from Espresso.
00:34
And I got this femme boy, and he won't stop calling.
00:38
Based off of experience, if I'm not picking up after three calls,
00:43
take a five, Kit Kat break, you know what I mean?
00:46
Like, that's just too much.
00:47
But also, if I'm calling you, I can call as many times as I want.
00:51
I love the memes.
00:53
The memes are probably my favorite part about this song that I've seen so far.
00:57
That's that me, Espresso.
01:02
Well, saying it out loud just sounds stupid, guys.
01:05
Like, when I sing it, it's cool.
01:09
Your signals are mixed, you act like a b**ch.
01:14
This is from Feather.
01:19
I really wanted to put this line in a song,
01:21
so I initially had a whole other song based around this line.
01:24
And then it didn't make the album, so I put it into Feather.
01:28
It fits so well.
01:29
It's a very, very therapeutic line to scream at the top of your lungs.
01:34
Okay, let's see.
01:43
This is from Nonsense.
01:45
You know what I realized in hindsight two years later that I don't like about this lyric?
01:57
I say pop twice.
01:59
Not my favorite.
02:00
Didn't catch it until way after the fact.
02:03
I was like, ugh.
02:04
But, you know, no one else has really commented on it.
02:07
Now I'm bringing it to your attention, so I shouldn't have done that.
02:11
But this is from Nonsense, and this is a very unserious song from start to finish.
02:15
So this was one of the lines in the outro,
02:18
which is very infamous for being nonsensical.
02:35
It really, truly is for the crowd in front of me,
02:37
and somehow it always ends up on the internet.
02:41
But I think my number one will always probably be either Glasgow or Dublin.
02:47
Because in Glasgow, I said, I recycle baby, where's the Glasgow?
02:54
It's like so stupid, but it made me happy.
02:57
And then the other one was, when I turn him on, that dick is Dublin.
03:03
Yeah, I saw you laugh.
03:04
Yeah.
03:07
That's my name.
03:08
Don't wear it out, though.
03:09
This is from Sue Me.
03:14
You know, I really give this song a lot of credit for being
03:18
one of the first songs that I felt like I just was super autobiographical
03:23
and didn't really care about if this was like a relatable concept.
03:27
Because I was getting sued at the time, and I was so young.
03:30
And I kind of equated it to the feelings of a breakup
03:34
and how it feels like when, you know, they want what they can't have anymore.
03:37
Your name is always on their tongue, no matter what.
03:39
So I really like that song.
03:41
I really like that line.
03:42
And my fans have been very loyal because of that song.
03:45
I have so many memories on set with Joey of that music video.
03:49
I think the most important is like,
03:51
she just is such a light and such a breath of fresh air.
03:55
And she was making everyone laugh.
03:57
I was like stressed out of my mind, making sure we had the music video done.
04:00
And she's just like cracking jokes, keeping everything light.
04:02
Like everybody was laughing because she was there.
04:04
And I think that's the most incredible thing about having friends in a video.
04:08
I've tried to do it as many times as I can in my life
04:10
because it makes the shoot so much more fun.
04:12
So yeah, very grateful to her for that.
04:14
Alrighty.
04:16
Oh, wow.
04:16
Reading my lyrics on a piece of paper.
04:19
I think of them differently.
04:21
Now I'm a homewrecker. I'm a slut.
04:23
Facts.
04:24
I got death threats filling up semi trucks.
04:26
Also facts.
04:26
That one is because I liked a boy.
04:28
Now I'm a homewrecker. I'm a slut.
04:32
I got death threats filling up semi trucks.
04:36
This song was a big full circle in my life.
04:38
It was just, I was really able to kind of grasp a situation
04:42
and kind of put it down and in general, just like feelings and inner thoughts.
04:46
Like it was a really, really therapeutic song for me.
04:49
And even more so being on tour, like the funniest shit,
04:54
funniest things ever is listening to a crowd scream.
04:58
I'm a homewrecker. I'm a slut.
05:04
Okay. I'm getting scared the more we do it.
05:08
Oh, okay.
05:09
You got a robber and a bank and the bank robbed the people.
05:13
So the people robbed the bank.
05:16
I was 16 when I put that out, to be fair.
05:20
Yeah, this is from Thumbs.
05:24
You got a robber and a bank and the bank robbed the people.
05:28
So the people robbed the bank.
05:30
Everyone knows I love this song.
05:31
You know what's funny? It is a great song,
05:34
which I think my fans will be shocked to hear those words come out of my mouth.
05:36
Because I'm infamously known for just kind of trying to shove this one under the rug.
05:41
Only because I was so young when I put it out.
05:44
And yeah, but when I look back on the song and putting it out at that age,
05:47
I think it's a really, really cool, different,
05:51
just in general statement and message in a song.
05:54
And yeah, I mean, it's out there.
05:56
Can't take it back.
05:58
So I've got a lot of dedicated Thumbs stans.
06:01
I'm just not one.
06:03
Okay.
06:04
Oh, throwback.
06:05
I knew this one was coming.
06:07
Everybody loves to tell me I was born an old soul.
06:10
This was from my very, very first album when I was too young to know what an album was
06:16
or should be.
06:17
Eyes Wide Open.
06:18
And it's from the song Eyes Wide Open.
06:24
It's the very first line of the song.
06:27
And I think that's why I resonated with it so much.
06:29
That was something growing up that a lot of people told me and my mom always told me.
06:33
Just in general, being able to kind of interact with adults from such a young age
06:38
and being in working environments, being around so many adults.
06:42
My mom was like, I don't know where that came from.
06:45
When kids know things or say things that their parents are like, I didn't teach you that.
06:49
So you obviously, there's something possessing you.
06:51
That's why I loved that line and it really resonated with me.
06:54
One of the lyrics in that song mentions my grandfather.
07:02
I think it's a special ode to my granddads that have passed
07:07
and then also my grandfather that's still alive.
07:10
Okay.
07:13
Let me discover all of your colors.
07:15
If you love me, let me know.
07:17
This is from Alien, which was a song that I did with Jonas Blue.
07:29
I loved this song.
07:30
When I made this song, I was just like, it was on repeat.
07:33
I loved it so much.
07:34
And it was really when I was just dealing with someone that I was so like,
07:38
do you like me?
07:40
Just tell me, please.
07:41
You know, when you get into your wits end and you're just like,
07:43
at this point, I either want to never speak to you and never know you
07:46
or you need to confess your love to me.
07:48
So that's where that lyric came from.
07:51
I mean, I think my fans know I really, really love exploring genre.
07:54
I always have.
07:55
Within pop, I think pop is so many different things,
07:58
which is why I don't feel really tied down to anything.
08:01
And I try not to kind of predict how I'm going to feel in a year
08:04
because right now I'm, you know, that's that me espresso,
08:07
but then maybe next year it'll be a different kind of espresso.
08:17
Um, don't just stand there staring, honey.
08:21
Try to move your feet.
08:23
Definitely was in my like, let's make a dance song era here.
08:27
This was called Looking At Me.
08:28
This was from Singular Act 2.
08:35
For whatever reason, it took us so, so, so long.
08:39
And then once I went into the booth and freestyled,
08:42
like the whole line, they're not even looking at you.
08:44
They're looking at me.
08:45
Happened like word vomit.
08:47
So I think from then on, I was just like,
08:49
oh, this is like a really, really like, you know, confident record.
08:54
And there's really no excuses for it.
08:56
It's just the way that I feel when I dance to Rihanna or Beyonce.
09:00
I love Rosalia.
09:01
Love Rosalia so much.
09:03
Carol G is great.
09:05
And honestly, I think what's so special is like,
09:08
every time I see them live, I'm just re-inspired.
09:11
They give such great live performances.
09:13
Taylor's Latin American fans were like out of this world,
09:17
dedicated, loving, passionate.
09:19
I mean, that was just some like chapter of my life
09:22
that I truly, truly will never forget.
09:24
I've never felt so welcomed before.
09:26
And they made so many bracelets and sang so loud.
09:30
And I remember getting off stage being like,
09:32
my ears hurt physically, pain.
09:35
So that was really special.
09:43
All right.
09:48
I knew this shit was coming.
09:50
Cause I'm young and I'm dumb.
09:52
I do stupid things when it comes to love.
09:55
This is from Can't Blame a Girl for Trying.
10:05
My very, very first song.
10:07
Put this out when I was 14.
10:09
It's been a minute.
10:10
And what's crazy is I'm literally still young and dumb
10:12
and do stupid things when it comes to love.
10:14
So, so much for growth.
10:16
But yeah, this was a, like I've said this before,
10:20
but it's so interesting now being on tour,
10:22
realizing how much that song meant to,
10:25
you know, my fans at that age.
10:27
And now I guess it's like a very nostalgic song,
10:29
which makes me feel kind of old,
10:31
which is weird because I'm super young.
10:33
But yeah, that song is very special for that reason.
10:35
And with my fans, it feels like a nice bonding moment.
10:38
You know, what's interesting is before that,
10:40
I was literally just 12.
10:42
So the only difference was I was like,
10:44
maybe this is where people start to take me seriously
10:47
as a songwriter, as a voice in a room.
10:50
And even then, obviously it was,
10:52
it took quite a few more years before
10:55
I kind of felt like I really could steer the ship.
10:59
And I just think at that time,
11:01
I was so excited to just start writing
11:04
and put everything out.
11:05
There wasn't any shift other than the fact
11:07
that I was mostly like on YouTube
11:09
covering other people's songs
11:11
versus going like,
11:12
no, I really want to put my own out there into the world.
11:19
Thanks guys.
11:20
That wasn't too traumatic at all.
11:21
That was really nice.
11:22
You guys picked a great one.
