ANECDOTE

Song Built From Phone Notes And Bad Relationship

  • The song I Do This All The Time was built from phone notes and fragments gathered during a bad relationship phase and a conscious desire to write a modern Sunscreen-style track.
  • Taylor assembled diary-like lines and lived experience into the chorus and verses over studio loops to create the final song.

Micro Sexism Shrinks Women Onstage

  • Taylor exposes micro-sexism in music by recounting directives to 'stand still' and 'fit in your dress' that sought to shrink women onstage.
  • These small commands cumulatively erased ambition and signalled a limited role for women in bands.
ANECDOTE

Bark Came From Young Women's Theatre Memory

  • The barking at the end of I'm In came from a theatre project recording where young women said they bark to scare off men when walking home.
  • Taylor kept the bark as a live cathartic moment that audiences join in to reclaim power.
