[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to join the Taylor what the heck were you doing train but why in the world did she bring Lana up?! Lana had just lost the aoty and looked so disappointed. Lana didn't even say anything. I felt awful for her [/quote]
I think because Lana sings on one of the Midnights tracks, so she was technically part of the album. But yeah, Lana clearly didn’t want to share in that moment. [/quote]

I think it was pure awkwardness/Taylor being unable to think beyond herself in that moment. Lana was sitting right next to Taylor when they announced it. I think as Taylor took her "moment" first acting surprised and then doing handshake/hug thing with a producer on her other side, she went to hug Lana, correctly read Lana's disappointment on her face, and then thought "oh I will fix this by bringing her on stage and saying how great she is." She was just uncomfortable with the fact that Lana was more disappointed for herself than thrilled for Taylor in the moment (totally understandable), and chose to make it MORE awkward by dragging Lana up rather than just graciously accepting the award and letting someone else fell however she was going to feel about it.

It was controlling and immature and I felt bad for Lana. Honestly I felt bad for everyone involved because you could tell they were all just tolerating Taylor's antics.[/quote]

That producer is Aaron Dessner. She wouldn't be winning these awards without him.

Dessner is a musical genius. Guitarist for The National (which is Taylor's favorite rock band, natch). Works with Taylor, Ed Sheeran. His twin brother is also in the band and also a classical composer. He's a real tour de force. [/quote]

Aaron Dessner and the National are great, but I think it's Jack Antonoff who you should be giving the props to.[/quote]

Maybe Jack was the image referred to. But Aaron held the pen on most of Evermore, Folklore, and three on Midnights.

But you're right -- Aaron is more the co-songwriter than producer.

It's clearly a collaborative. [b]And it's not like she NEEDS them to be successful[/b], but they're augmenting her superstardom, IMO.[/quote]

It is 100% like she needs them to be successful. Left to her own devices, her music is boring AF. I recently watched he Tiny Desk Concert, which she did during her Lover promo, and she made a big deal about playing the songs "as she wrote them" -- stripped down and acoustic. Well guess what, if that's what that album sounded like, no one would buy it.

She also rambles a ton in that concert, explaining the music in a way that honestly makes it sound less interesting, and she just comes off as extremely pretentious and way too impressed with herself. Usually TDCs are kind of humanizing for artists, especially the ones you usually see with a lot of production. Usually I walk away from them thinking "wow, when you pack their personality and talent into that small space, you can see how they are not regular people." I watched Taylors and she seemed like a regular person wearing expensive clothes and a lot of makeup, singing some okay songs and playing serviceably on the guitar and piano.

She absolutely needs these people around her who make her seem larger than life. She is a marketing and production creation and would never have reached this level without the people who built up her sound and image.[/quote]
