1
The first songs that we made for this album,
2
we wrote two years ago.
3
One of them is the last track on the album,
4
which I wrote and recorded the day that we recorded
5
That's How True and the day that I wrote and recorded I Told You Things.
6
And so there were these little clues along the way,
7
but this was like the most I've ever been involved in production.
8
this is your odyssey check-in we are at the hard rock
9
hotel in the rock star suite with gracie abrams it is
10
so good to see you good to see you thanks for
11
having me of course bone to pick with you before we
12
get started last time we hung out like all you did was lie to me oh um i don't know
13
if you remember i was like oh gracie who's gonna be
14
any features on the album who's gonna be on the album you're like no nobody
15
and taylor was on the album
16
and then i was like oh Are you going to go down the acting path at any point?
17
You were like, no, I hate acting.
18
I'm only doing music, and now you're about to be in this movie.
19
So I just don't know how I could trust you.
20
Well, it's not a great start for us, is it?
21
It's not great for me.
22
Right, right.
23
Hopefully you will be more forthcoming.
24
You can be because, I mean,
25
you've announced a lot of the things.
26
Certainly.
27
Well, that was not in the cards until it was.
28
So that can't have been a lie.
29
And if I was protecting a Taylor secret, sue me.
30
Right, right.
31
You have to sign paperwork for that.
32
I mean, I understand.
33
Briefly, tell me about the A24 thing,
34
how it came about, and the audition process, all that.
35
Yeah.
36
Helena Raine is a brilliant artist.
37
She wrote the script.
38
She's directing the film.
39
I knew her in the tiniest amount.
40
We had met three years ago.
41
And didn't even stay in touch, really but she reached out to me asking if I would read the script,
42
which felt like the greatest gift in the world.
43
And I did not interpret it as read the script to potentially audition if you connect with it.
44
But I read the script and it made me feel like I was being electrocuted.
45
Like it was just so aliveness.
46
And she's such a force.
47
And yeah, and then again with the audition process,
48
every round was just a gift.
49
and I would go home at the end of the day being like,
50
I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
51
I got to just read her work to her.
52
And in my mind, that was the end of the road.
53
But for whatever reason, she's letting me attempt.
54
And hopefully I make her proud and do her justice.
55
But it's very humbling already.
56
And I have a lot to learn.
57
So I'm excited to get into it.
58
I love it.
59
Did you walk away from those auditions like,
60
I crushed this or were you like totally in your head?
61
No, I wasn't like, I wasn't,
62
no, I just felt like it's so much fun to play like that.
63
I don't know.
64
That's like such a corny way to put it.
65
But it was like, I don't know,
66
with music, I am so personally connected to the stories.
67
And I think as a reader,
68
I'm so excited when I find a book that feels like the inside of my head,
69
but also as somebody else's entire life,
70
you get to escape into that.
71
And that was my experience with Helena's script.
72
So then to be in a room and get the opportunity to like
73
actually pretend that you are the person you loved escaping into.
74
It just was a lot of fun.
75
But again, it's funny to talk about it before having stepped on set for it.
76
So I can only say what it felt like to be introduced to this universe she's created.
77
But it was exciting.
78
Would you, could you contribute musically to the project at all?
79
Like, would you do something new for it?
80
Or is there something from the album that, yeah.
81
Definitely not from the, I don't imagine this album belongs in the please world.
82
But maybe, I don't know.
83
It's up to Alina.
84
It's like, I am not the guardian of any of this information.
85
So it's funny to chat about.
86
But yeah.
87
Hit the Wall is wonderful.
88
Thank you um you you linked back up with aaron for
89
this i am for the album um what is it about you
90
and him
91
that just works like what how does he bring out what
92
he does from you i think his his skill set uh it blows my mind his his the fingerprint
93
that he leaves on everything that he makes it's
94
so distinct to me and also so specific to the artist who he's working with.
95
I think because of his history as an artist in the National,
96
he has got this really holistic understanding of what it feels
97
like to be on all sides of this industry as a touring musician and a writer and a player and a producer.
98
He's got the biggest heart and I think
99
that allows him to connect with the people that he's working with to bring out I think the best in them.
100
And he and I have known each other for six years now
101
and he's like family to me so there's there is a real sometimes harsh in the best way like honesty.
102
So we challenge each other
103
and some of my favorite experiences you know in the studio with him is
104
when we disagree because it always teaches me something
105
and I love him for a million reasons but i really appreciate
106
that he's kind of helped instill in me
107
that you don't need to make a radical change in order
108
to put out a new album like it doesn't have to
109
sound a hundred percent different than your last thing it can be a continuation and like a discovery of what
110
made you fall in love with writing in the first place
111
so this album to me um feels like a an elevated version of our process working together
112
and i'm very proud of it it's so interesting
113
because you you're saying like you know it doesn't have to be completely different to show growth
114
and it's it's interesting because recently jack antonoff i forget what like interview it was
115
or something but he was talking about you know
116
because it was all this big hoopla about him not being involved in taylor's later latest project
117
and he was like it's not normal for people to solely work with one person
118
or one team throughout their career and i i think it's interesting because
119
I imagine there's pros and cons to it because maybe if you are only working with one person,
120
you could feel stagnant at some point.
121
But then there's people like Billie Eilish who pretty much work with Phineas,
122
but have still found ways to push themselves and go outside of the box.
123
I think it's so personal.
124
It's like it's like a collaborative relationship is like any other relationship,
125
like friendship, romantic relationship, familial.
126
It's like these are such intimate spaces.
127
And I also think, you know,
128
one's art reflects where they're at.
129
And I think if, you know,
130
any one of us feels like something's not working,
131
for this particular time we're in um i think it should
132
be celebrated you know the the exploration of new partners
133
and in my experience like not from a success point of view
134
but just from like a personal fulfillment point of view i've
135
been able to like as a mentee of aaron's basically learn
136
so much um under him and um with him and uh
137
so speaking from my personal experience which is the only one I can reference.
138
It's been a privilege to spend the past six years in the studio with Aaron.
139
And yeah, he's just the greatest.
140
When you are writing, do you ever have to Google the definition of a word?
141
That's funny.
142
That's so funny.
143
Like, oh, I really want to use Slipknot here,
144
but let me just double check on this.
145
Well, I knew Slipknot.
146
Okay.
147
But there have definitely been instances,
148
like I think for sure there have been times where you
149
yeah like I'm trying to think of it as an example
150
why can't I think of anything specific I've like absolutely opened
151
the dictionary before I've been like I'm this word fits so
152
so perfectly and wanting to make sure I'm like
153
but can I will it make perfect sense in the way
154
that it sounds correct I'm like want to make sure
155
but um I tend to think my songs the the the vocabulary it's like conversational enough
156
that i've never i've you know you're it's not too frequent
157
at the dictionary yeah yeah yeah like you've used it before in the wild like it's something
158
that you know it's also fun i i i was i read an interview a long time ago
159
that rem did and they they were talking about um writing their songs
160
that sometimes they would take a book
161
and flip it open to a random page just put their finger on a word
162
and use that as the jumping point
163
that is a fun way to to i mean that's completely
164
and that's just an entire pivot
165
but anyway yeah thinking about opening books in the studio it's very fun
166
and very inspiring sometimes dictionary or otherwise
167
so how was how was this uh creative process this recording
168
process on this album different from the last one would you
169
say it was easier i don't know i was actually not
170
i think it was we it was more intricate um as
171
a whole it was more intricate i feel like we everything
172
we we ran all of it through with a fine tooth comb
173
and and um this was like the most i've ever been involved in production before
174
and aaron and i have such a shorthand like our the way that we describe sounds or what we want,
175
it's like the very exciting part of being in the studio together.
176
And so to see it come to life in the way that it has with this album means a lot to me.
177
But the process of getting there was not always easy.
178
And I think the first songs that we made for this album we wrote two years ago.
179
One of them is the last track on the album,
180
which I wrote and recorded the day that we recorded That's
181
So True and the day that I wrote and recorded I Told You Things.
182
And so there were these little clues along the way,
183
but I think what differed in this,
184
this, with this process was like being off tour
185
and having like five months of not being on the road to sit with all the songs
186
and to let my nervous system sort of reset.
187
I feel like there's a lot of,
188
um, there's more patience, kind of less like manic energy in this music more,
189
um, uh, yeah, more, I guess more,
190
it feels more patient to me.
191
It feels more thoughtful, but I think that also just comes with like age
192
and time and having a bit more giving yourself and the subjects of your songs a more grace.
193
And so hopefully that's felt.
194
I love that.
195
Awesome.
196
Before we wrap up, let's do just a few random questions that I couldn't weave in seamlessly into this interview.
197
So for the Met Gala,
198
was there anybody you met for the first time there that you kind of had a cool,
199
you know, first time experience with?
200
Amanda Seyfried.
201
Oh, yeah.
202
My queen.
203
I love her so much.
204
I've loved her so much.
205
I think her career arc is incredible.
206
I think she's so cool.
207
And we were chatting for a bit,
208
and I said it to her,
209
which is just how I've always felt about her
210
that i think there are like some people that do public facing jobs
211
and they've navigated it so well where like she seems to be
212
so herself yeah yeah in the fishbowl which like is hard to do
213
and um i just think she is sick
214
and i got to tell her that to her face so
215
that felt really nice that's awesome
216
and um um who else did i meet for the it's such a blur
217
and do you just like roll up
218
and tap somebody on the shoulder like hey i want to meet you
219
or how does that do you bump into each other
220
stepping on people's trains
221
and things stanley tucci accidentally stepped on my train for a split second we didn't even meet
222
but he was like oh i'm so sorry i was like anything for you
223
like rip it yeah yeah um no every everyone was very lovely
224
and um it's a very cool thing to be in
225
that museum like after hours
226
when you get to walk up very close to the all the art
227
and you know that was me like trying not to fall over
228
but yeah yeah um have you listened to noah khan's new
229
album do you have a favorite song on there i love porch light i love porch light
230
and i i love all the music you know
231
that i think what aaron has added to the you know noah con verse um is exciting
232
and it feels so alive and so like noah's directly in your head
233
and i think he's such a remarkable storyteller and so is Aaron.
234
And so for them to team up just made the most sense in the world to me.
235
Cool.
236
And I was lucky to hear some of it before it came out.
237
So I've been living with it for a while and it never disappoints.
238
That's awesome.
239
Yeah.
240
Well, you are wonderful.
241
Your music is wonderful.
242
You're wonderful.
243
Thank you so much.
244
I appreciate it.
245
Good to see you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
