1
Taylor and Bono, have you worked together?
2
No. Not yet.
3
We're gonna talk about it later.
4
- Okay, okay.
5
But no, but Bono, you did a very nice thing when Taylor got to Ireland.
6
I mean, I'm a Swifty.
7
- - Oh, yeah.
8
Final script, please.
9
- - You know, we're.. we're highly aerial birds, you know?
10
And, uh, over the years, we've come...
11
We bumped into each other and made friends.
12
He doesn't want to take credit for the fact that he's so nice, he sent me roses when I played in Dublin.
13
He doesn't want to take credit for doing a fake cake.
14
He's a truly great person.
15
You sent that picture, there you are.
16
Our fans are far on the edge.
17
Beautiful.
18
He's just that great and thoughtful.
19
Just the best there is.
20
I better have a drink.
21
Here's the thing.
22
Bono and Taylor not work together.
23
But weirdly, Taylor and Eddie, you have worked together.
24
-We have.
25
-Oh, wow, yeah.
26
-It was a decade ago.
27
-I once died in his arms in a screen test for "Les Mis." I did not know this.
28
I did not know this.
29
There's a lot that people don't know about this story.
30
Um, basically I was I was auditioning for two roles in Les Mis
31
and I'd done a few auditions and gone to New York and whatever.
32
And I think it had been established that I I had more of a look of Cosette, but I had the range vocally of Eponine.
33
So it was established that like I was there for a good time, not a long time.
34
I wasn't going to get this role.
35
But they were like, you know, just do you want to come to London for one last screen test?
36
And you'll get to screen test with Eddie Redmayne.
37
"This seems like an experience I want to have in my life.
38
You're like one of my favorite actors.
39
You're so ridiculously talented." And I was like, "So, yeah, I'll go to London." Like, I'm like-- um-- Yes, indeed. So far.
40
I get there, and they're like, "Okay, so we really want to, like, make you look like Eponine.
41
We're going to try to do-- it's the-- you know, she-- she-- she wasn't, like, loaded.
42
She had brown teeth.
43
You know, like, she didn't have a lot of money, so-- A 19th -century street -hurch.
44
Yes, she-- exactly.
45
She didn't floss.
46
Exactly.
47
They were like, we're actually going to paint your teeth brown for this.
48
And I'm like, so you're going to do that after I meet Eddie Redmayne, right?
49
That's not something you do before.
50
I get to meet people, and then you do the brown teeth.
51
You're like, no, no, it's...
52
"Everybody's going to meet you with the brown teeth, and we're going to do big circles under your eyes like you're near death." I was like,
53
"This has immediately become a nightmare for me." You were so nice.
54
I think when I met you, I was like, "It's so nice for me." It was hilarious.
55
You know, as you walked in as a 19th century French street urchin, and I was not expecting that,
56
but my overwhelming memory of it, Taylor, was I had...
57
I'd just been to pizza express beforehand and I had some garlic dough balls.
58
I thought we were going to be singing off each other, you know, but they had us.
59
Also, it was so weird because Taylor was dressed fully as Eponine and I was like in my tracksuit.
60
And they had us on the floor like singing sweet nothings into each other.
61
And all I knew is I just had garlic bread.
62
And I had brown teeth.
63
It was one of these.
64
It was like trying to show emotion.
65
But you're weeping.
66
Not to punish you.
67
I'm weeping and I just thought it was because of how I looked.
68
I felt so bad, like I have to be close to her right now.
69
This is...
70
Yeah.
71
This was not the method, no?
72
No. That's nice that you were both struggling in that moment.
73
It was a beautiful audition.
74
Everyone starts somewhere.
75
We've got a very early gig of Taylor.
76
This is you.
77
Now, you haven't sold out...
78
Oh, yeah.
79
Yeah.
80
This was a big deal for me.
81
I was 14.
82
And it was an event called the Nashville Rubber Duck Race.
83
And it is exactly as it sounds.
84
They would put rubber ducks in the river and see who won.
85
And I was the official entertainment.
86
As you can see, the banner is incredibly high concept.
87
It just says it like it is, you know, like this is her name.
88
Did you play before the race or after the race?
89
Oh, you know what, that's a really good question.
90
I think I blocked a lot of this out.
91
Okay, fair enough.
92
I won't dwell.
93
It might be triggering.
94
That was the whole crowd.
95
The whole crowd is in the shop.
96
I can see three people there.
97
They do look like fans of rubber duck racing.
98
Alex, when they were kids dreaming of being singers, you were a kid.
99
But am I right that when you got spotted, you didn't particularly want to be a footballer?
100
No, I used to play in a football cage at the end of my road with the boys.
101
And then there was a referee in the local area was like, there's a women's team, Arsenal.
102
down
103
and I was like no I'm totally fine my mum had
104
packed me a cup for a sun for a packed lunch
105
that day I was like I'm totally fine in this football cage
106
and she was like no we are taking you and then I got signed to Arsenal when I was eight Yeah, really early on.
107
APPLAUSE.
108
What is a football cage?
109
A football cage?
110
Yeah.
111
It was just literally like, there was concrete, it was just nothing in there.
112
But for me, it was everything, it's where all the dreams started.
113
Literally, you had cars either side of this football cage, and if the ball went out, the car would come along and pop it, and that would be the end of playtime.
114
Like, "See you tomorrow." They should introduce that into professional football.
115
I'd love that.
116
Playing against a car.
117
I'm getting to meet you
118
because we just look at you as such an inspiration like
119
breaking through in such a male -dominated industry You should be so proud
120
We've talked about the Swifties and how much they love you and fans, Sometimes find unlikely things.
121
I think in Canada, by accident, a track from 1989 was released.
122
But it wasn't a real track.
123
It was "Eight Seconds of Static." Yes, this happened maybe seven or eight years ago.
124
Yeah.
125
What happened to that track that was "Eight Seconds of Static"?
126
It went number one.
127
I don't know how, but maybe it's some metaphor, some symbolism about the sounds of silence.
128
Having a moment of quiet.
129
I love someone trying to present a chart show in Canada and going, and now it's number one.
130
It was ridiculous.
131
I don't know why I'm this lucky and have them doing stuff like that for me.
132
Swifties, and I think there are some here.
133
So, it's just a few things, because Taylor's new album, "Midnight," is out now.
134
Yes, it is.
135
I've got it here.
136
Now, there are different ones, aren't there?
137
Different ones.
138
Yes.
139
So, I've got...
140
Which one have I got?
141
I've got...
142
You've got the main version of it.
143
Uh, ooh, yeah, yeah, that's the-- that's the standard version.
144
It's a concept album, and the main question is, what keeps you up at night?
145
So it's-- you know, you could be up at night because you're reeling from just having met someone, and you're falling for them, or you could be plotting revenge.
146
You could be, uh...
147
-Garlic.
148
Garlick.
149
-Garlic.
150
Yeah, you could be thinking about the time that they-- they painted your teeth brown to be that you were to paint.
151
Um...
152
If you think of that as a creative writing prompt, which is what I did, that's where the album came from.
153
-And this album couldn't have only...
154
I mean, amazing reviews.
155
You broke streaming records.
156
And a lot of the rave reviews have asked the question, and it is a question, that the great songwriting on this album is part of it due to the fact that you've been doing this...
157
sort of strange work of re -recording your back catalogue.
158
So it was like you were doing homework on songwriting.
159
- I think so, I really do.
160
I've been, so I've been re -recording
161
uh my first six albums because there was a thing
162
that happened where i i had wanted to own my work of my first six albums
163
and when i changed record labels my first six albums were actually sold away from me.
164
And so I decided to just I just figured if I made them the first time, I can make them again.
165
I love it.
166
I love it.
167
It's an amazing moment.
168
It's an amazing moment. But, yes, yes.
169
But, is it working?
170
Like, are radio stations playing the Taylor version?
171
Yes, they've actually, there's actually, one of the things I was most thankful for was there's a, there's a I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.
172
I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.
173
I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.
174
IT'S A COMPANY OF MANY STATIONS IN AMERICA CALLED I HEART.
175
AND THEY HAVE SWORN TO ONLY PLAY MY NEW VERSIONS AND THEY SAID THEY 'LL SWITCH IT OUT FOR THE OLD
176
VERSIONS EVERY TIME I PUT OUT A NEW VERSION OF A SONG
177
WHICH IS JUST LIKE -- IT'S SO HEARTWARMING TO ME
178
BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CARE ABOUT BUT I DON'T EXPECT OTHER PEOPLE TO CARE ABOUT IT.
179
And doing this, you know, going back over your old work, has led to this wonderful thing, where.. so, all too well, uh, as now...
180
I know.
181
It's now.. it's now a short film.
182
So it was a short song, then it was a longer song, and now it's a short film.
183
OK, how do I shorten this?
184
So basically, "All Too Well" was a song that came out originally on an album called "Red," which came out in 2012.
185
I always loved this song.
186
It was never a single, but the fans really loved this song.
187
And I had made the mistake of saying in an interview the truth, which is that it had started out as a 10 -minute song with, like, six or seven extra verses,
188
and we had had to cut it down.
189
to the sort of four and a half, five minute length that it ended up.
190
My fans would not let it go.
191
They were like, I'd be doing an interview for something else, albums later, and they'd be like, where's the 10 -minute version?
192
Where is it?
193
So basically, for the re -record, I was like, I am going to put out the 10 minute version.
194
I'm just gonna show them what it was.
195
And you know what?
196
I really want to make, I want to tell a story that goes along with it visually that's more than a music video.
197
I want to, I'd been directing my music videos for a
198
while at this point and writing and directing them was really fun for me.
199
I just love it.
200
It's a very natural extension of my storytelling.
201
So I thought I'll make, I want to make a short film and,
202
and really do this song justice and also create a short film that stands on its own.
203
So I was very lucky to be able to cast Sadie Sink and Dylan O 'Brien to be these two young lovers.
204
And I'm really, really, really proud of it.

Perché questo clip è ottimo per la pratica della lingua inglese
Il dialogo tra Taylor Swift e gli ospiti di The Graham Norton Show è un materiale eccellente per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la pratica di conversazione in inglese. La lingua è spontanea, con espressioni colloquiali e una velocità naturale che simula situazioni reali. Le pause, le risate e le interruzioni rendono il testo vivido, ideale per esercitarsi nel "shadowing" (o "shadowspeaks"), una tecnica efficace per imitare l'intonazione e il ritmo.
Analisi di frasi chiave per una pronuncia naturale
Ecco tre frasi dal video che dimostrano come la lingua inglese si usa nella vita quotidiana:
- "We're gonna talk about it later." L'uso di "gonna" invece di "going to" è tipico del parlato informale. Imparare queste contrazioni aiuta a sembrare più fluido.
- "He doesn't want to take credit for doing a fake cake." "Take credit for" è un phrasal verb che significa "ricavare merito da". Le frasi con phrasal verbs sono fondamentali per una conversazione naturale.
- "I was like, 'So, yeah, I'll go to London.'" "I was like" è una struttura comunemente usata per riportare i propri pensieri o dialoghi, invece di "I said". È un modo semplice per rendere il discorso più colloquiale.
Una routine di pratica con il "shadow speech"
Per esercitarti con questo video, segui questi passaggi:
- Guarda il clip una volta per capire il contesto.
- Ripeti ogni frase subito dopo l'ospite, cercando di imitare l'intonazione e la velocità. Usa un "shadowing site" per registrare te stesso e confrontarti con l'originale.
- Concentrati sulle contrazioni e sui phrasal verbs: ripeti "gonna", "take credit for" e "I was like" finché non li pronunci senza sforzo.
- Pratichi per 10-15 minuti al giorno: la costanza è chiave per migliorare la pronuncia e la fluidità.
Questa tecnica non solo migliora la pronuncia, ma anche la capacità di capire il parlato veloce e le espressioni colloquiali, essenziali per una conversazione inglese fluida.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | we've come · have worked · has immediately become |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | had been established · was established · was dressed |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | prompt, which is · truth, which is |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
