Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get Taylor Swift's early country sound?

Use: 'country-pop', 'acoustic guitar', 'steel guitar accents', 'Nashville production', 'heartfelt female vocals', 'youthful', 'storytelling'. Add 'polished' and 'radio-ready' for that professional sheen. Focus lyrics on romantic narratives with specific details.

How do I recreate the 1989 synth-pop era?

Use: 'synth-pop', '80s influenced', 'shimmering synths', 'anthemic chorus', 'powerful female vocals', 'polished production'. Add 'euphoric', 'stadium-ready', 'crisp drums'. This era is big, bright, and hook-driven.

How do I get the folklore/evermore indie sound?

Use: 'indie folk', 'fingerpicked guitar', 'intimate', 'atmospheric', 'introspective female vocals', 'warm analog production'. Add 'melancholic', 'storytelling', 'quiet intensity'. Remove any 'anthemic' or 'stadium' tags - this era is intimate.

What makes Taylor's lyrics distinctive?

Hyper-specific details ('your cardigan', 'that Maserati'), narrative storytelling, emotional vulnerability, and clever wordplay. Write lyrics with specific places, objects, and moments rather than generic sentiments. Tell a story, don't just describe feelings.

Can I combine different Taylor eras?

Generally no - her eras have distinct sounds that conflict. However, Midnights blends synth-pop with introspection, so 'dream pop, synth textures, introspective, late-night' can bridge eras. Stick to one primary era for best results.
