For Taylor Swift, criticism of her work is the biggest driver of her creativity, as she shares that haters have been pushing her to deliver big hits.
In an interview with The New York Times, the pop icon adds, “[It] has been a huge fuel for me… like a creative writing prompt or something.”
Swift then gave an example of Blank Space. Released in 2014, the track was a massive hit.
In the Grammy winner’s view, it was wildly popular because intense chatter linked the song to her dating life.
‘”Blank Space” would not exist if I hadn’t had people being like, “Here’s a slideshow of all of her boyfriends,”‘ the 36-year-old recalls.
Court trial of attack on Taylor Swift’s concert
In separate news, the man, who is a 21-year-old, is standing on trial for allegedly targeting Swift’s shows in Vienna in 2024.
Beran A was accused of planning a terror attack, while, as per prosecutors, he was part of a cell linked to ISIL.
With him is Arda K, his co-defendant. Together, the duo is facing up to 20 years in jail if convicted.
Prosecutors paint a disturbing picture, gleaned from the pair, about their plans to expand the scope of their attacks in Istanbul and Dubai.
The incident sent shockwaves through the massive fanbase of Swift, who herself was shaken by the alleged terror plot.
In line with this, Vienna’s Ernst-Happel-Stadion was axed at the eleventh hour due to a threat uncovered in time.
