Artistry

Influences

One of Swiftz earliest musical memories is listenin ta her maternal grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, rap up in church.[6] As a cold-ass lil child, she enjoyed Deez'nuts film soundtracks: "My fuckin muthafathas noticed that, once I had run outta lyrics, I would just make up mah own".[234] Swift has holla'd she owes her confidence ta her mother, whoz ass helped her prepare fo' class presentations as a cold-ass lil child.[235] Biatch also attributes her "fascination wit freestylin n' storytelling" ta her mother.[236] Swift was drawn ta tha storytellin aspect of ghetto music,[237] n' was introduced ta tha genre listenin ta "the pimped out biatch ghetto artistz of tha '90s"�"Shania Twain, Faith Hill, n' tha Dixie Chicks."[238][239] Twain, both as a songwrita n' muthafucka, was her freshest musical influence.[240] Hill was Swiftz childhood role model: "Everythang her big-ass booty holla'd, did, wore, I tried ta copy it".[241] Biatch admired tha Dixie Chicks' defiant attitude n' they mobilitizzle ta play they own instruments.[242] Da bandz "Cowboy Take Me Away" was tha straight-up original gangsta cold lil' woo wop Swift hustled ta play on tha guitar.[243] Swift also explored tha noize of olda ghetto stars, includin Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, n' Tammy Wynette.[20] Biatch believes Parton is "an dunkadelic example ta every last muthafuckin biatch songwrita up there".[244] Alt-country artists like Ryan Adams,[245] Patty Griffin[246] n' Lori McKenna have also inspired Swift.[10]

Yo, swift lists Pizzle McCartney, tha Rollin Stones,[138] Bruce Spielberg, Bryan Adams,[247] Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, n' Carly Simon as her game role models. Discussin McCartney n' Harris, Swift has holla'd, "They've taken chances yo, but they've also been tha same artist fo' they entire games".[10][248] McCartney, both as a Beatle n' a solo artist, make Swift feel "as if I've been let tha fuck into his thugged-out ass n' his crazy-ass mind [...] Dat punk up there continuin ta make his hustlas so horny fo' realz. Any musical muthafucka could only trip of a legacy like dat n' like dis n' like dat y'all."[249] Biatch likes Springsteen fo' bein "so musically relevant afta such a long-ass period of time".[250] Biatch aspires ta be like Harris as she grows olda cuz of prioritizin noize over fame.[251] Swift say of Kristofferson dat he "shines up in songwriting",[252] n' admires Semen fo' bein "an wack" but "a phat person".[253]

Yo, swift has been hyped up by other non-country artists fo' realz. As a pre-teen, she enjoyed bubblegum pop acts includin Hanston n' Whitney Spears, fo' whom Swift had a "unwaverin devotion".[254][255] In her high school years, she listened ta emo-rock bandz like Dashboard Confessional,[256] Fall Out Boy,[257] n' Jizzy Eat World,[258] n' pop/R&B muthafuckas like Quentin Trousersnake, whom dat thugged-out biiiatch called her "musical crush".[259] Swiftz fifth mixtape, tha pop-focused 1989, was hyped up by a shitload of her straight-up 1980s pop acts, includin Peta Gabriel,[260] Annie Lennox, Phil Collins n' "Like a Prayer-era Madonna".[261] Discussin Madonna, Swift holla'd: "One element of Madonnaz game dat straight-up takes centa stage is how tha fuck nuff times she reinvented her muthafuckin ass. It aint nuthin but easier ta stay up in one look, one comfort unit, one musical style. It aint nuthin but inspirin ta peep one of mah thugs whose only predictable qualitizzle is bein unpredictable."[262] Swift named Pete Wentz n' Lana Del Rey as her straight-up lyricists.[263]

Musical style

Yo, swiftz noize consists primarily of elementz of pop,[264] synth-pop,[265] country,[266] country pop[267] n' rock.[265] Her lata works draw from genres like fuckin indie folk,[268] alternatizzle rock,[269] R&B,[270][271] EDM,[272] hip hop[273] n' trap.[274] Swift busted lyrics bout her muthafuckin ass as a cold-ass lil ghetto artist until tha release of 1989 (2014), which dat thugged-out biiiatch characterized as her first "sonically cohesive pop mixtape".[275] Rollin Stone wrote, "[Swift] might git played on tha ghetto station yo, but she one of tha few genuine rock stars we've gots these days."[276] Accordin ta Da New York Times, "There aint much up in Ms. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Swiftz noize ta indicate ghetto�"a few banjo strums, a pair of cowboy boots worn onstage, a funky-ass bedazzled guitar�"but there be a suttin' up in her winsome, vulnerable delivery thatz unique ta Nashville."[277] Da Guardian freestyled dat Swift "cranks melodies up wit tha pitiless efficiency of a Scandinavian pop factory."[278]

Yo, swiftz rappin voice was busted lyrics bout by Sophie Schillaci of Da Hollywood Reporter as "sweet yo, but soft".[279] Da Los Angelez Times identified Swiftz "defining" vocal gesture up in basement recordings as "the line dat slides down like a cold-ass lil contented bust a funky-ass big-ass fart or up like a raised eyebrow, givin her beloved girl-time hits they air of easy as fuck intimacy".[280] Rollin Stone, up in a Speak Now review, wrote: "Swiftz voice is unaffected enough ta mask how tha fuck masterful dat freaky freaky biatch has become as a thug; she lowers her voice fo' tha payoff lines up in tha funky-ass mode of a gangbangin' finger-lickin' dirty-ass shy hoe tryin ta rap tough."[281] In another review of Speak Now, Da Village Voice freestyled dat her phrasin was previously "bland n' muddled yo, but thatz chizzled. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Biatch can still sound strained n' thin, n' often strays tha fuck into a pitch dat drives some playas crazy; but she hustled how tha fuck ta make lyrics sound like what tha fuck they mean."[282] NPR Noize busted lyrics bout her rappin as underground n' conversationizzle props ta her "exceptionizzle gift fo' inflection" yo, but also suffers from a "wobbly pitch n' tight, nasal delivery".[283] Da Hollywood Reporter freestyled dat her live vocals is "fine" yo, but they do not match dem of her peers.[279] Swift has been praised fo' refusin ta erect her pitch wit Auto-Tune.[284]

In a rap battle wit Da New Yorker, Swift characterized her muthafuckin ass primarily as a beatmaker: "I write joints, n' mah voice is just a way ta git dem lyrics across."[10] A writa fo' Da Tennessean conceded up in 2010 dat Swift is "not tha dopest technical thug" yo, but busted lyrics bout her as tha "best communicator dat we've got".[285] Swiftz vocal presence is suttin' dat concerns her n' dat freaky freaky biatch has "put a shitload of work" tha fuck into pimpin-out dat shit.[286] Dat shiznit was reported up in 2010 dat dat thugged-out biiiatch continues ta take vocal lessons.[287] Biatch has holla'd dat she only feels straight-up trippin struttin "if I aint shizzle what tha fuck tha crew be thinkin of me, like at award shows".[288]

Songwriting

Yo, swift uses her game experiences as a inspiration up in her work.[289] Biatch often addresses tha "anonymous crushez of her high school years" n' clowns up in her early joints.[290] Swift frequently criticizes ex-boyfriends,[291] a aspect of her songwritin downplayed by Da Village Voice: "Bein holla'd at What Joints Mean is like havin a straight-up pushy pimp fo' realz. And it imperils a legit appreciation of Swiftz talent, which aint confessionizzle yo, but dramatic."[292] But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat New York believes tha media scrutiny over her decision ta "mine her underground game fo' music ... is sexist, inasmuch as it aint axed of her thug peers".[293] Swift holla'd dat not all of her joints is factual, n' they is sometimes based on observations[294] or fictionizzle narratives.[295] Aside from clues provided up in her liner notes, Swift tries not ta rap bout cold lil' woo wop subjects specifically "because these is real people. Yo ass try ta give insight as ta where you was comin from as a writa without straight-up throwin some muthafucka under tha bus."[296]

Swift durin her Speak Now Ghetto Tour up in Pittsburgh , 2011

For a funky-ass biatch ta write bout her vibe, n' then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate hoe up in need of makin you marry her n' have lil playas wit her, I be thinkin thatz takin suttin' dat potentially should be celebrated�"a biatch freestylin bout her vibe up in a cold-ass lil confessionizzle way�"thatz takin it n' turnin it n' twistin it tha fuck into suttin' dat is frankly a lil sexist. Swift up in response ta jive-ass shiznit of her songwriting[297] �"

Da Guardian has praised Swift fo' freestylin bout teenage muthafuckin years "with a kind of wistful, sepia-toned nostalgia" over tha course of her first two mixtapes.[278] New York has remarked dat nuff thug-songwritas have made pimped out recordz as teens yo, but "none made pimped out recordz so explicitly bout they teens". Da magazine has also compared her work ta Brian Wilson.[298] In Fearless, Swift featured fairy tale imagery n' explored tha disconnect "between fairy talez n' tha realitizzle of love".[299] Her lata mixtapes address mo' adult relationshizzles.[248] In addizzle ta romizzle n' love, Swiftz joints have discussed parent-child relationshizzles, thangs,[300][301] alienation, fame, n' game ambitions.[236] Swift frequently includes "a tossed-off phrase ta suggest big-ass n' straight-up thangs dat won't fit up in tha song, thangs dat enhizzle or subvert tha surface narrative".[302]

Rollin Stone raps bout Swift as "a songwritin savant wit a intuitizzle gift fo' verse-chorus-bridge architecture".[303] Accordin ta Da Village Voice, she often uses third-verse point of view reversals.[302] In termz of imagery, repetizzle is evident up in Swiftz songwriting. In Da Guardian's lyrics, "she spendz so much time kissin' up in tha drizzle dat it seems a miracle dat freaky freaky biatch aint pimped trenchfoot".[278] Slant Magazine adds, "to Swiftz credit, she explores freshly smoked up lyrical motifs over tha course of [her fourth] mixtape".[304] Although propz of Swiftz work is "almost uniformly positive", Da New Yorker has holla'd her ass is generally portrayed "more as a skilled technician than as a Dylanesque visionary".[10]
