Taylor Swift-Taylor Swift's 1st Phone Call With Tim McGraw(口白)

[00:00.01] Hey a little bit ago we were talking about uh, songwriting and listening to songs,

[00:03.73] and putting down what you feel in the song and um up next in the countdown is Taylor Swift and have you heard this song yet?

[00:10.19] I have heard this song.

[00:11.02] And what, what did you think the first time you heard it?

[00:15.48] It was awesome, uh, except for I didn't know if I should I should take it as a compliment or I should feel old.

[00:20.87] I didn't know which one but the more, the more I hear it the more…

[00:24.53] I don't know if it’s true or not but I start taking it as a compliment and not that I feel that I'm old.

[00:28.72] I don't know if that's true but that's what I choose to think.

[00:32.00] Why don't we find out? Taylor is a compliment or uh he's old?

[00:36.88] Oh it’s definitely a compliment.

[00:39.90] Tim McGraw meet Taylor Swift.

[00:41.84] Nice

[00:42.38] Nice to meet you.

[00:43.24] Nice to meet you, Taylor. How you doing?

[00:44.66] I'm doing great. How are you doing?

[00:46.06] I'm doing good. Congratulations on your record. It's doing great.

[00:48.90] Thank you so much. I'm just so excited.

[00:58.20] Well, the funny thing about this song is ya know, as a writer some of the songs that you write like 4 hours you'll do them writing a song and it'll be good and everything.

[01:07.72] But I wrote this one in literally 15 minutes and ya know I really didn't think anything about calling in Tim McGraw so.

[01:13.57] I kinda shelved it for like 3 months and never even thought that it was going to be a single. But um my label heard it and was like we're putting that out.

[01:22.22] Well I'm glad ya did cuz um it's doing well for ya.

[01:25.55] So I

[01:29.05] No.

[01:29.34] You haven't met.

[01:29.92] No.

[01:32.78] I sent her a message one time. I think with Entertainment Weekly or something like that.

[01:36.29] Oh I don't remember what show it was. I was doing an interview and they were going to interview Taylor the next day. So, I sent her a little message. So, I don't know if she got it or not.

[01:41.87] Oh my God. They never gave that to me.

[01:43.27] They didn't? Ok well, there ya go. I did.

[01:45.58] (laughing)

[01:46.63] So I-I

[01:47.41] We've just officially never, never talked or messaged or anything. Not at all.

[01:50.48] So I thought, I think it's pretty brave to put out a song called Tim McGraw without maybe talking to Tim McGraw. Did you mind?

[01:56.97] It was definitely kind of a chance. Ya know I did say anything bad in the song so I was kinda thinking ya know, he wouldn't take it too bad.

[02:04.99] Well, thank you for that. Thank you for not saying anything bad. I'm sure there's plenty that could've been said. Tell me-

[02:10.66] Could you tell Faith that I said hello?

[02:12.40] I sure will. I sure will. And she loves the song too by the way.

[02:16.05] Oh my gosh, she's awesome.

[02:17.89] I agree.

[02:19.25] This, this... Tell me about writing a song. Um did this, did this really happen?

[02:24.81] Well, yeah. I mean, I never really kinda went into this writing session on I'm gonna write a song called Tim McGraw.

[02:36.58] I actually this this is kinda strange but I actually came up with the melody and ideas for this song in math class in my freshman year of high school.

[02:45.03] Now I feel old.

[02:47.59] And um I was sitting there and was kind of started singing it to myself and I was going through a period where I was dating this guy that was going off to college and I knew we were gonna break up.

[02:57.87] So I started to think about all the things that I knew would remind him of me. And its kinda like a given one of all my friends ya know that my favorite songs are Tim McGraw songs. They just are. Aww, thank you.

[03:10.51] And uh, you know so I kinda just thought about that first and so it pointed to the song and just sat down at that piano and wrote it with this co-writer who was kinda wondering if I was crazy or not but it turned out alright.

[03:23.05] And ya know, the funny thing is that I shelved this song for like 3 months and never never even played it for anybody, never even demoed it. And uh, then one time I was just goofing around and played it for my record label president and he goes "well that’s your first single"

[03:38.92] And I'm like well, well you can write songs about me anytime, Taylor. That’s awesome. There's a part two coming out next month.

[03:45.88] Alright, great. Well congratulations cuz its your first single, first top ten hit and thats pretty exciting and I know you're off to the races here.

[03:54.59] You're just doing great and uh congratulations very exciting for you.

[03:58.71] Awesome, it’s been so exciting. Tim, when are you gonna start like bringing out opening acts again?

[04:03.56] Um I don’t know. I don't know. We'll have to look into that. Well I'll, I have someone who I think will be really perfect for it.

[04:10.53] Ya do? What would…

[04:13.05] Uh, um I think Taylor something.

[04:16.12] Something like that yeah.

[04:17.53] But, well I'll, I'll be more than happy to have you out with me.

[04:20.09] Just consider it.

[04:22.33] Ah, well that’s very good. You're pretty fearless Taylor Swift. I'll tell ya that.

[04:25.74] Right she's, she's gonna be forward this time.

[04:28.01] I think so. Country Countdown USA is now a booking agency as well.

[04:31.69] Absolutely.

[04:32.57] Hey Taylor, I know you're on the road, thank ya so much for joining us.

[04:35.38] It was awesome and thank you. It was good to meet you Tim.
