If you’re anything like me, you’re fascinated by Taylor Swift’s songwriting genius. I’m always trying to understand her brain and how she brings her lyrics to life.
In her 2022 speech for the Nashville Songwriter Awards, Taylor gave us a glimpse into her songwriting process by disclosing her unique lyric categories. Hint: they have to do with the writing tool she uses. She describes her lyric categories as “dorky” but anyone else would have to agree they’re pretty brilliant.
In this episode of Making the Brand, we do a deep dive on these lyric categories and discuss how we can apply them to our own content creation. Taylor’s process helps her approach songwriting with a bit more ease and gets her in the right frame of mind to create. It’s way less daunting than staring at a blank page or sitting at the piano without a plan.
I share a simple framework you also can apply to add order and consistency to your social media content calendar.
“When you write, you can turn your lessons into your legacy.”
– Taylor Swift
