Taylor Swift explained how the “hate frenzy” surrounding her during the Reputation era helped inspire the album’s sharper lyrics, including “Look What You Made Me Do.” The 36-year-old discussed the 2017 album during the Grammy Museum’s The Icon Sessions with Taylor Swift: A 20-Year Retrospective, which was posted to YouTube Aug. 24, saying the public scrutiny gave her songwriting a “gnarled bite.” Swift pointed to the long-running backlash that followed her 2016 feud with Kanye West and his then-wife Kim Kardashian over West’s song “Famous.” The track included a lyric claiming he made Swift famous—language the singer said she had not approved—while Kardashian later released edited clips of a phone call between West and Swift that appeared to show otherwise. A longer version of the call later surfaced, revealing West had not told Swift about the song’s most controversial lyric. Swift said she responded to feeling “cornered” by embracing a darker, tongue-in-cheek persona in “Look What You Made Me Do,” before ultimately finding “a tiny bit of warmth” in the album’s more vulnerable songs.

During Monday’s episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the former child star reflected on her time as part of the “Twilight” franchise, where she played high-ranking Volturi vampire Jane in 2009’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” 2010’s “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and 2012’s “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.” “It was a huge deal. It was like all anyone was talking about. I was in high school at the time,” she told host Josh Horowitz. “I went to a regular high school and it was like, everyone was obsessed. So it was a huge deal.” As Fanning went on, she clarified that she never auditioned for Kristen Stewart’s role Bella Swan, explaining she “just a bit young for it” at the time. “Getting to play Jane was amazing and it’s where I met Kristen, who you know is one of my closest friends,” she added.

Taylor Swift looked back on the way her 2006 debut single, “Tim McGraw,” predicted her life now following her wedding to Travis Kelce. “If I look back at the song ‘Tim McGraw,’ there are actually sort of hints at everything that was going to happen in the next 20 years,” Swift, 36, revealed in The Icon Sessions with Taylor Swift: A 20-Year Retrospective, released on Monday, August 24. The track — which was the lead single from Swift’s self-titled first album — tells the bittersweet story of a summer romance, where the narrator asks her ex-boyfriend to think of her whenever he hears country music legend Tim McGraw’s music. Swift reflected on the opening verse, where she sang, “He said the way my blue eyes shined / Put those Georgia stars to shame that night.” Taylor Swift Monica Schipper/Getty Images “I had never been to Georgia,” she joked. “That was not real. That had not happened. But, as you are working around ‘character’ and what feels like what this character would have said. What paints a picture that informs a story that we just locked into because that first line describes so much for us.” Swift also felt that “Tim…
