Taylor Swift named the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade by NSAI
On September 20, Taylor Swift was named the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade by Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI). Speaking at the award function at the Ryman Auditorium, Swift said:
“I’ve learned by being in the entertainment industry for an extended period of time that this business operates with a very new, new, new, next, next, next mentality. For every artist or songwriter, we’re all just hoping to have one great year. One great album cycle. One great run at radio. And these days, one song that goes viral on TikTok. One glorious moment in the sun. (sic)”
She added:
“I say all of this because I’m up here receiving this beautiful award for a decade of work, and I can’t possibly explain how nice that feels. Because the way I see it, this is an award that celebrates a culmination of moments. Challenges. Gauntlets laid down. Albums I’m proud of. Triumphs. Strokes of luck or misfortune. Loud, embarrassing errors and the subsequent recovery from those mistakes, and the lessons learned from all of it.”
Swift then said that she had established genres for the lyrics she writes. There are three genres: Quill Lyrics, Fountain Pen Lyrics, and Glitter Gel Pen Lyrics.
She further elaborated, saying that the "Quill" style genre is for the words and phrasings are antiquated. She noted that most of her lyrics fall into the "Fountain Pen style" genre, which refers to a modern storyline or references.
The last genre for Taylor Swift's lyrics is Glitter Gel Pen, referring to lyrics that are frivolous, carefree, bouncy, and syncopated perfectly to the beat.
