But this is a whole thing. Like talking to you about music that I’m really proud of. So I’m like going to I’m going to Taylor, don’t tell me this is your last album. No. What? No. I just saw some fans going, “Well, she’s going to get married and then she’s going to have children and then it’s going to be the last album.
” A shockingly offensive thing to say. Absolutely. It is not the last album. why people get married. No, exactly. So that they can quit their jobs. I go It’s It’s also like music for me is I think the fans were just panicking. Oh, I know they love to panic sometimes. But it’s like I I love the person that I am with because he loves what I do and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and making music.
That’s the coolest thing about Trav is like he’s so He is so passionate about what he does Yeah. that me being passionate about what I do it it connects us. 100%. in time where he’s going to be like, “I’m really upset that you’re still making the music.” The music thing that I signed up for that I knew you loved.
I thought you were going to stop doing that. I love how supportive you are of each other. Yeah. It’s so good. Yeah, and you and and it just is um the most fun thing in the world to like be able to support each other. And the sort of the polarity of how different our jobs are. Massively.
But there’s a lot of similarities, too. I mean we We both as a living, as a job, as a passion perform for 3 and 1/2 hours in NFL stadiums. Yeah. We both do 3 and 1/2 hour shows to entertain people Yes. for 3 and 1/2 hours in NFL stadiums. When I’m in those stadiums, it’s a it’s a dressing room.
But when he’s in those exact same stadiums, it’s a locker room. Toy Story movie. It had to be surreal. When I realized that we were going to have the opportunity to write a song for Toy Story, it really hit me the weight of this. Like how lucky we were to get to sort of take up what Randy Newman has created and and continue that legacy.
And so, rather than thinking like, “Oh, you know what we’re going to do? We’re going to reinvent this.” I I just thought, “We’re going to take these beautiful, you know, tapestries of of musical art he’s created brushstroke by brushstroke and and we’re going to try to create something that would go in that collection.
” That you could hopefully like hang next to those paintings on the wall if we were talking about paintings. I’m sorry, I go into metaphor a lot. Anyway, um you know, I’m a huge Randy Newman fan, so is Jack. So, Randy tends to go to really different kind of chord progressions and has very different musical sensibilities than I do.
Right. And so, we try to channel what you know, what would Randy do? That took us to a very different place musically and from a chord structure perspective. Um the harmonica came in because I really thought that we needed to in this ode to Jessie kind of, you know, pay homage to where she comes from where cuz she’s this cowgirl doll and she comes from this western landscape and I thought that that would be really cool to kind of signify that this is actually Jessie’s song.
This is from her perspective. This is in honor of her. 12, Taylor Swift, our special guest this weekend on American Country Countdown. We are never ever getting back together. And Taylor, you have written so many massive hits over the years. Do you ever find when you’re sitting there writing songs that there’s a tendency that you tend to have or something that you tend to gravitate towards? It’s kind of been brought to my attention that I and I agree with this, that I I I love to use detail in my lyricism and that’s true. I’m very proud
of that, but I also think one thing I always make sure to check myself on is does this detail signify something that informs the story or does it tell the listener the mindset that the narrator is in or what place they’re in in their life. Does it describe the person that is influencing and inspiring the song? Does it Does it help further the storyline? Does it tell you more about what makes this song important, which is the human emotion behind it? So, detailed just for the sake of saying
descriptive words is not really my thing. It’s like I love detail if it informs the actual human emotion that we’re singing about.
Right. So, I think that might be a lesson if somebody cared to take a lesson from what I’m doing. Taylor With Taylor and Taylor, when it comes to recording new music and hit songs like that one, what would you say is the most important thing? I think one thing I’ve learned over the many years of studio sessions and writing sessions and working with people collaboratively is
