Style (Commentary) - Taylor Swift
Lyrics by:Taylor Swift/Becca Walls
Composed by:Taylor Swift/Becca Walls
Thanks for listening to Big Machine Radio as we go through 1989
Taylor Swift's fifth studio album celebrating its fourth anniversary this year
And the next song I think a lot of people speculated
Based on some of the very specific lyrics about
Who this song was written for or about I guess I should say
And Taylor says it actually was inspired by some of those trends
That never really go out of style
"Style" is a song that I wrote about kind of observing fashion trends
And cultural trends and seeing how there are certain things that are constants
You know like things that
You know you may not wear a little black dress for a while
But you're always gonna go back to it
No one's gonna say
"Oh red lips are so two years ago"
There are certain staples
And I started thinking about that in terms of a feeling you know
There are certain feelings like that
There are certain people that float in and out of your life
Sort of like a trend that keeps coming back in style
And never fully fades away
Um and so that was the inspiration behind this song
