Taylor Swift talks next album, CMAs and Ed Sheeran

 

The 23-year-old pop star was honored for a record sixth time as songwriter-artist of the year by the Nashville Songwriters Association International, surpassing guys like Vince Gill and Alan Jackson. She earned the award with 14 hits in the top 30 over the last year, a tribute to the popularity of her multiplatinum fourth album, "Red."

 

As Swift accepts the award, she's six months deep in the songwriting process for her next album.

 

"I think the goal for the next album is to continue to change, and never change in the same way twice," the seven-time Grammy winner said. "How do I write these figurative diary entries in ways that I've never written them before and to a sonic backdrop that I've never explored before? It's my fifth album, which is crazy to think about, but I think what I'm noticing about it so far is it's definitely taking a different turn than anything I've done before."

Taylor Swift’s Costume Designer Talks ‘Red Tour’ Outfits

 

To help the 23-year-old’s love stories come to life on stage, Emmy-award winning costume and wardrobe designer Marina Toybina tells The Hollywood Reporter how she prepped for the show and the inspiration behind the designs. Toybina, who has designed for The X-Factor, and Katy Perry’s and Carrie Underwood’s tours, recently received an Emmy award on Aug. 14 for her costume designs for Swift’s opening number at this year’s Grammy Awards.

 

The Hollywood Reporter:Some of the costumes for Taylor’s tour looked like they required so much detail, especially the white Victorian dress she wore while performing “I Knew You Were Trouble.” How much work went into creating those more elaborate pieces?

 

Marina Toybina: Like any design project, you have certain stages of artistry that must be obtained in order to accomplish the unexpected. For me, production details, choreography, conceptual staging and of course, Taylor’s vision was key. Once Taylor created her set list for the tour and the choreography was discussed, the design process was in full effect to incorporate Taylor’s ideas. After my designs were approved, sketches locked in and fabrics chosen, Taylor’s feedback was integrated with details tweaked. Draping, sewing, creating and handcrafting became beyond a full time job. It took my team and me a little over three weeks to put the entire tour together—difficult, but not impossible. The fittings went successfully, dress runs were exciting and then, it was showtime!

 

THR:What would you say was the inspiration behind all the outfits?

 

Toybina: Taylor’s songs, as well as our passion, art and individuality. It is the fire inside all of us that keeps the mind believing and the heart beating. My goal was to make sure each design told its own story and could serve as a visually, beautiful extension to Taylor’s stage presence.

 

THR: Considering that there were so many wardrobe changes throughout the show, what was challenging about designing 128 pieces—23 for Taylor and 103 for the dancers?

 

Toybina: Developing a show is a fluid process, so you have to be ready to roll with deadlines and creative changes. Adapting to wardrobe changes/alterations during tour rehearsals is not always easy or practical, but you get it done and you sleep after it’s all over.

 

THR: Hopefully you’re getting some rest now. What was your favorite moment working on the Red Tour?

 

Toybina: [Watching] the opening night [in Omaha, Neb.]. Nothing could be more rewarding than seeing your own work, alongside all the other beautiful masterminds, come alive. Designing is like a puzzle. As you build your art piece by piece, the determination starts evolving into its own masterpiece. It’s a feeling like no other.

Taylor Swift’s a funny gal, and her pal Ed Sheeran likes that about her.

 

The English singer-songwriter caught up with E! News at the Teen Choice Awards yesterday, and told Jason Kennedy that his time in the U.S. has been memorable.

 

"It’s been fun. I’ve had a cool year. I spent nine months of in in America well, eight months going on nine it’s been fun," he said. Sheeran’s time in America was spent on the road as the opening act for T.Swift’s Red tour, so clearly these two became close, which means Ed knows a thing or two about Taylor that the rest of the world may not know. Like her sense of humor, for example.

Yes, we are all aware that Swift can crack a joke, but Sheeran explains that his road partner has “the most English sense of humor out of any American I’ve ever met.”

 

He clarified, “She’s just dry, she has a very dry sense of humor and Americans are usually like slapstick comedy, that’s the big thing but she’s very English. She’s like The Office. English Office, not Steve Carell [Ricky] Gervais.”

 

Well, that’s quite the compliment.

It’s weird, man. I never thought that I could be that good friends with a musician that I met through music. All my school friends are like my close friends, and everyone else is kind of acquaintances. And coming to America, I think there’s a lot of ego in the music industry and a lot of fake chauvinism, I guess. And I met her and she had exactly the same views as me on everything, and had been successful and has managed to maintain humility throughout it. So that’s what kind of first drew me towards her. And then just finding out that as a person, she’s got a wicked sense of humor, she’s very family-oriented, she works very hard. We just clicked. I don’t think we really go a day without speaking, which is cool. It’s helping me through this whole mental process, to have somebody who’s already been through it.

 

...

 

No, because I’m not dating her. I think that’s the thing. I’m not ever going to hurt Taylor in the sense that I’m going to break her heart or something like that. […] I don’t think there will ever be a point where me and Taylor fall out. I remain to be brutally honest with her. Like, the other day she was trying on outfits for her Rolling Stones performance, and she goes “What do you think of this?” and I told her she looked like a blackjack dealer. Although she was kind of hurt at the time, I think she appreciates the honesty, so I don’t think we’ll ever fall out from something like that because we are very honest with each other. And like I said, I’m not going to be dating her anytime soon.

"The rumour that she dates a lot of people is a misconception, because in the time that I’ve known her, which has been almost two years now, she has dated two people. Fact. And in her entire life, I think she’s dated around five or six people. I don’t like when people take shots at her because I do know her personally, and I think people get the wrong end of the stick. She’s so successful, and she’s so nice and sweet to everyone that she meets, there is nothing bad to say but she was being pictured with a lot of dudes.

I think it would be incredibly unprofessional and idiotic for me to [date Taylor]. To go on tour for six months with someone and hook up with them just before you go out on tour, which is what people think we did—that’s just a really silly thing to do, because the tour would be very awkward by now, and it’s not, so that’s that."
