She would get dropped off after school and she would just be raring to go. I had a grand piano in the living room and we pulled out our guitars, sometimes I sat at the piano because that’s more my instrument. She would say ‘I have a piano idea’ and she would start playing it, that’s how Invisible started
Robert Ellis Orral on what it was like writing with Taylor (Source: Swift Legacy Podcast)
When I turned in I’m Only Me When I’m With You to RCA Records when she was still signed, the actual recording that is now on that 11 million selling record, they went ‘No, I don’t think so. It’s too pop,’

Those CD’s went out to every A&R guy in town, and it’s funny because after she blew up I had A&R guys say ‘How come you never brought that Taylor Swift package by here?’ and I’d be like ‘Oh yeah I did!’

She was really unhappy with the way things went down, and she found the most punk rock response to that in the world, ‘Alright! Fine! See ya! Gonna rerecord them all’

Sometimes we got things like half done and kind of bailed on them, there’s a few of those sitting that are like half written that I’d love to finish some day
Robert Ellis Orrall on writing with Taylor (Source: Swift Legacy Podcast)
Just South Of Knowing Why was a rare song to write at her house, and that was the first time she showed me the swimming pool that was under the living room. In her parents house, apparently whoever put this addition on built it directly over a swimming pool that was there. So there was a trapdoor that she opened up… it was the scariest thing I’ve ever seen.

It’s funny that the song that the record label seemed the most excited about was before she was even signed when they were listening to demos was What Do You Say
Robert Ellis Orrall on the song he was surprised didn’t make Taylor’s debut album (Source: Swift Legacy Podcast)
Her dad would call me up and say ‘Rob!’ My name has never been Rob by the way but he never called me anything but Rob… ‘Rob, Taylor wrote four more songs yesterday let me read you the lyrics,” and then he would read me the lyrics
Robert Ellis Orrall on Taylor’s early songwriting (Source: Swift Legacy Podcast)
We got kind of stuck on a line somewhere and Angelo hadn’t thrown out any lyrics yet… and he threw out these two lines […] and she just looked at him and said ‘I don’t know, that’s kind of trite. […] I’m not sure my demographic would say something like that’ and he went ‘huh’ and I just put my fingers like little guns and went ‘Shot down by the 13 year old! Alright!‘

I didn’t say ‘hey, why didn’t that song go on the record’ I just felt that decisions are being made that are not mine to make, I’m a songwriter and I was asked to produce some songs and I was grateful to do that and loved doing that. So I never asked but I had the feeling that it felt too mature for the first record

We are so excited to finally share the episode you’ve all been waiting for… our interview with Holly Armstrong🥳
It was so much fun getting to chat about all sorts from meeting Taylor in 2003 to the Lover Secret Sessions, and everything in between. Click here to listen now!
Here’s an episode for you… Robert Ellis Orrall
The interview @swiftlegacypodcast did with Robert Ellis Orrall is SO GOOOOOOD. Like, there is another demo of What Do You Say?? And it almost made it on Debut?? Hey Stephen might know Nashville the song?? Better Off was written in 2004?? Everyone thought Crazier sucked???? DARK BLUE TENNESSEE WAS EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE????
SHOOKETH
Yayy we’re so happy you enjoyed it!!
“That’s what made the song too mature for the first album, cause that’s really what it was. That was what we had no problem saying what it was. It was Romeo and Juliet, who doesn’t love Romeo and Juliet? Taylor loves Romeo and Juliet. Maybe if we had never admitted that it would’ve had a better shot”
- Robert Ellis Orrall on whether the bridge of Dark Blue Tennessee was about suicide (source: Swift Legacy Podcast)
“I’ve said this to Scott [her dad] a couple of times, my word is my word. I have everything she’s ever sung into a tape recorder on a spool in my office. There’s at least 5 or 6 of those CD’s where she’s probably like 11 or something, she’s just figuring it out. I told Scott right off the bat ‘These will never leave my office, I will never send one to somebody,’ and they never have”

Don’t know what else to do
Guys - It’s been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year’s ceremony. I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I’m allowed to next year. Additionally - and this isn’t the way I had planned on telling you this news - Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years. Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film.
Scott Borchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I’m both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun.
I feel very strongly that sharing what is happening to me could change the awareness level for other artists and potentially help them avoid a similar fate. The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished.
This is WRONG. Neither of these men had a hand in the writing of those songs. They did nothing to create the relationship I have with my fans. So this is where I’m asking for your help.
Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this. Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work. Please ask them for help with this - I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote. I’m especially asking for help from The Carlyle Group, who put up money for the sale of my music to these two men.
I just want to be able to perform MY OWN music. That’s it. I’ve tried to work this out privately through my team but have not been able to resolve anything. Right now my performance at the AMA’s, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark.
I love you guys and I thought you should know what’s been going on.
Taylor
