Swifties Are Obsessed With The Video Of Taylor Swift And Jack Antonoff Writing ‘Getaway Car,’ And He Shared Why That ‘Actual Magic Moment’ Went So Viral

by

As a passionate film enthusiast, I can’t help but marvel at Taylor Swift’s extraordinary songwriting process, a mystical journey fueled by her life experiences that have gifted us with intricate lyrics and heartfelt narratives. Her diaristic storytelling in her songs is what connects people, particularly young girls, to her on a deep level, as she vulnerably shares relatable experiences that echo within the hearts of many.

One captivating moment from behind the scenes was when Jack Antonoff and Swift came up with the bridge lyrics for “Getaway Car” in a flash, which unexpectedly went viral. Now, her long-time collaborator is sharing his insights into why this moment has struck a chord with her fans.

In a recent chat with CBS This Morning, Jack Antonoff shared insights into his ongoing musical journey alongside pop sensation Taylor Swift, dating back from her album “1989“. Despite having his own band Bleachers, Antonoff is widely recognized for producing chart-topping songs with Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Rey, and Kendrick Lamar. Jack Antonoff, once the drummer of Fun, played a significant role in creating Swift’s album “Reputation“, contributing to one of her most beloved tracks, “Getaway Car.” A video of their collaboration on this song became incredibly popular online, and Antonoff seems to understand why. He explained:

It’s clear to me why that video gained popularity; it was probably the first time anyone had a glimpse into my process, and since such instances aren’t common, it often turns out that someone happened to be filming the unique, magical moments.

In the video under discussion, Swift captures the process of collaborating with Antonoff on the creation of a standout track from their 2017 album. At first, they both express some doubts about the lyrics for the bridge section, but soon after, Antonoff returns to help Swift refine those lyrics, and the music producer’s input ultimately enhances them significantly.

As you watch, it’s clear the gears are in motion as the two award-winning musicians craft an exceptional segment of the song. This peek behind the curtain provides a unique insight into their creative process, a moment that most musicians would consider exceptionally uncommon. Antonoff shared:

With every move, it’s evident that these Grammy-winning artists are meticulously constructing an outstanding piece of the song. This sneak peek into their writing process offers a precious view seldom seen by many musicians, and one they would likely identify as extremely rare. Antonoff commented:

In one of those rare instances, a unique, energetic writing style emerged as if two individuals were telepathically exchanging thoughts. Remarkably, it turned out that she was actually capturing the moment on record.

The unique quality of fans having the “Getaway Car” video is truly remarkable. Unlike other tracks on the “Reputation” album, which Taylor Swift employs to express her drama with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, as well as her new relationship with Joe Alwyn, “Getaway Car” serves as a metaphor for escaping an unsuitable relationship. It tells a Bonnie and Clyde-style story, making it lyrically captivating. Fans go wild whenever Swift performs this “surprise song” during the Eras Tour, demonstrating its popularity among her fans, or Swifties.

The video is popular because it highlights the strong bond between Swift and Antonoff during their songwriting process. They appear to understand each other effortlessly, often mirroring each other’s speech rhythms. They experiment with various sounds and lyrics until they strike gold, and when they do, it’s thrilling, and you can sense their joy in discovering the perfect tune for “Getaway Car.” This collaboration makes it clear why they keep working together, as fans anticipate Antonoff producing Swift’s next album and future projects.

I really hope there will be more making-of videos about songwriting, since it seems that the famous pop singer is busy working on her new album, although no official announcement has been made yet. In the meantime, fans can watch Swift’s Eras Tour movie by subscribing to Disney+ and streaming the film.
