Taylor Swift just marked her 20th year in the music industry as her Debut album turned 20 this year, which means she has experienced the music industry evolving with technology firsthand.
During a new interview, the Grammy winner, 36, was asked to comment on these changes and she said, “Many of the changes I experienced during my 20 years in the music industry had to do with distribution. At first, your albums were mainly released on CD or through iTunes; then came streaming and, in addition, trends emerged such as the return of vinyl, people became interested in it again.”
The Opalite hitmaker continued, “We have all been trying to find out the best way to get our music to the ears of our followers, looking for a way that is close and suitable for them. Honestly, whatever way my fans want to listen to my music – as long as I feel comfortable from an ethical point of view – I will try to inform myself, investigate and find a way to make it happen, to offer them a quality experience. On the other hand, lately there has been a lot of talk about technology and musical creation. I try to be optimistic about it, based on what I observe in the world.”

Swifties shared the comments all across social media, and wrote, “It’s nice to read the musings of an articulate musician.”
Another added, “That’s her secret. She listens to her fans, gives them what they ask of her, that’s why she’s successful! Queen!” and “does she know she’s the reason why vinyls are back??” chimed in a third.
More noted, “I admire her awareness so much. Jack Antonoff was right, she really is the hardest working person with this much talent.”
While one joked, “Give us the Evermore Long Pond sessions diva! Make it available in vinyl, cd, etc, it’s the ethical thing to do! PLEASE!” and “She’s mother,” added someone.
