Taylor Swift's Grammy Museum interview is the big story today, with multiple outlets covering her surprise medley and her comments on honoring her country roots. Elsewhere, a few anniversary pieces on classic songs offer some welcome context.
A rare extended interview with Taylor Swift generated multiple stories today, as she performed a medley and talked openly about her songwriting origins.
Swift connected 'All Too Well' to the emotional arc of a Toy Story character in a new video, which is a very specific but revealing glimpse into how she thinks about her own catalog.
The Grammy Museum event was a genuine surprise for the 200 people there, Swift doesn't do many small, unannounced performances anymore, so this felt like a real treat.
Hearing that 'I Knew You Were Trouble' started as a sad piano ballad before Max Martin turned it into a pop smash is a good reminder of how much production can change a song's shape.
Swift is signaling she'll lean harder into country as she gets older, which is interesting given how thoroughly she's shed that genre tag over the last decade.
A couple of significant anniversaries got thoughtful write-ups today, connecting old songs to broader cultural moments.
The Quietus marks 40 years since 'Wasted Years' with a smart take on how Iron Maiden stopped just writing about history and started writing about the feeling of being haunted by it.
The story behind The Specials' classic sound, a midnight phone call that changed everything, is the kind of behind-the-scenes detail fans love.
The Elgins' 'Heaven Must Have Sent You' gets its due as an overlooked Motown gem on its 60th anniversary, which is a nice corrective to the usual spotlight on better-known hits.
