Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Glenn. You need to know she'sgot you. It's three Things with TIF
on Good Morning. It is Friday, April nineteenth, also known as Taylor
Swift Day. I'm going to domy best to break this down as efficiently
as possible so you can take whatyou can do with it what you will.
We'll talk about the lead single,we'll talk about the disc tracks,

(00:23):
the relationships, and the overall vibes. Last night at midnight Kiss one oh
seven one, Taylor Swift was onKiss one oh seva one for our exclusive
iHeartRadio album release party. Now,I had said on our Instagram video,
if you were not going to beawake, no problem, I'll take care
of you. This morning, hereshe is exclusively talking about what Fortnite means,

(00:45):
how it came together. We foundout yesterday afternoon that this is the
lead single, I guess quote offof the album featuring Post Malone. Fortnite
is a song that I think reallyexhibits a lot of the common themes that
runs throughout this album, one ofwhich being fatalism, longing, pining away,
lost dreams. You know, Ithink that it's a very fatalistic album

(01:08):
in that there are lots of verydramatic lines about you know, life or
death and I love you it's ruiningmy life. Like these are very hyperbolic,
dramatic things to say, but it'sthat kind of album. It's about
a you know, dramatic, artistic, tragic kind of take on love and

(01:30):
loss and Fortnite I've always imagined thatit took place in this like American town
where the American dream you thought wouldhappen to you didn't write. You ended
up not with the person that youloved, and now you have to just
live with that every day, wonderingwhat would have been maybe seeing them out,

(01:53):
And that's a that's a pretty tragicconcept really, So I was just
writing from that perspective. And ifyou have ever gone through a breakup that
hurt you real, real, realbad, I think that very last line
in that statement is exactly how itfeels. And that's why Taylor Swift is

(02:14):
a genius when it comes to writing. So here is a clip of the
lead single, Fortnite, and thatthe Forever you Love, an Emma Back
and good Neighbors. So I've lostflows I want to kill You might be

(02:39):
wondering tif I didn't hear a singlesecond of post Malone in that clip.
Guys, they spent like the firstchunk of the song just kind of harmonizing
together. Really, isn't until thevery end where you distinctly hear post Malone's
voice. If I'm honest with you, it's not what I would have thought
as a collaboration song Posty in hervoices together, though, I'm pretty magical,

(03:00):
all right. Some other notable momentsfrom this thing. Right at midnight,
she drops the sixteen track album TorturedPoet's Department. We played on Kissuan
Oh seven one back to back toback to back to back. At two
am, She's like, surprise,anyone on the West Coast was alive and
well and probably in their glory whilethe East coast was sleeping. But Taylor

(03:23):
Swift dropped the second part of thealbum. It's a double album, so
we have a total of thirty onesongs. We should have known this,
right, and swifties did know thisthat when she was holding up the peace
sign quite a bit over the lastseveral months. Right at the Grammys,
there's pictures of her poll holding upthe peace sign. In her speech,

(03:44):
She's holding up the peace sign.That meant double album. In fact,
while we're here, let's just talkabout why she put it out in two
parts. Quote, I'd written somuch poetry in the past two years and
wanted to share it all with you. So here's the second installment of Tad
the anthology, fifteen extra songs,and now the story isn't mine anymore,

(04:06):
It is all yours quickly. Thereis one song on there that I think
references Travis Kelce. That one iscalled Alchemy. If you want to search
it. Quote, these blokes warmthe benches. We've been on a winning
streak. That is one just oneof the lines in there this tracks.
There is a song out there calledthank You Amy, and it is stylized

(04:28):
with a capital K, a capitalI, and a capital M. If
you can put those three together thisearly this morning, that titles Kim potentially
a longtime enemy, right. Thereare several songs on there that allude to
heartbreak. Of course, we thinktalking about Joe Olwen, including the song
So Long London, which is thefifth track in Swifties. Know that that's

(04:51):
the spot where she positions the albumto put her most personal song, which
makes a lot of sense for thesplit up between her and after six years.
There's also a song on there calledGuilty a Sin, which could potentially
be for Matti Heally. All right, one more thing on this album.
Let's chit chat some of those Eastereggs. You'll note now that the album

(05:15):
is out in its two parts.If you were at the Spotify event at
the Grove in LA which I hadtalked about yesterday, you would have noticed
that there were a lot of peacesigns all over that thing. Also the
Easter eggs that were hidden in AppleMusic. Let me read it for you
in full so that you get theunderstanding of it. Before the release,
Swift created a series of playlists forApple Music that category songs from her discography

(05:40):
by the five stages of grief.All right, so those are all the
important moments I think you need toknow at this morning. What else would
add value to this is that I'mgoing to play songs off of the album
at the beginning of every hour inmy show. Okay, we're gonna leave
it there for now, because it'salready fairly lankly. This is three things
you need to know for April Nights, Happy Friday. The best way to

(06:00):
keep listening to Tiff in the morningif you're in this Taylor or not.
And I'll say right now that thisalbum is very, very very tortured.
That is why it is called theTortured Poet's Department. It is a lot
of piano, great lyricism, verysad. There is no banger on this
one that you're gonna be like.This is song of summer, potentially,
It kind of depends on if you'rehaving a sad girl summer or not a

(06:23):
girl I have been there. Thelast two summers of mine have been sad
girl summers, all right. Bestway to keep listening to Kiss one oh
seven one and to continue to hearmore news about Taylor and such is on
