Who are the 3 Taylor Swift Personas?

Here is Taylor’s explanation

for her different types of writing style:

 

    Taylor took home the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade at the Nashville Songwriter Awards and, during her acceptance speech, she revealed that she mentally categorizes her songs based on the kind of pen she imagines writing them with. "I’ve never talked about this publicly before, because, well, it’s dorky. But I also have, in my mind, secretly, established genres categories for lyrics I write," she explained. "Three of them, to be exact. They are affectionately titled Quill Lyrics, Fountain Pen Lyrics, and Glitter Gel Pen Lyrics."

 

                Fountain Pen Songs

    "They’re modern, personal stories written like poetry about those moments you remember all too well where you can see, hear, and feel everything in screaming detail," Taylor explained in an intro audio message for the playlist, which she said is the one most of songs would belong on.

What version of Taylor would use each pen?

• I think sparkly Problem-Taylor would be the influence in glitter pen songs that are fun and light.

• We see Haunted-Taylor writing at home alone and she has a lot of fears. She might write the quill pen deep songs. She’s the poet of the bunch.

• And since Big-Taylor goes outside the house, but has secrets, she would probably write the fountain pen songs full of detail.
