But director Taylor Swift and doctor Taylor Swift?
We only really met them this year.
And if you happened to have missed them, it’s not too late to become acquainted.
The past year has been big for Swift.
In fact, it’s been massive.
The tour is on track to gross $591 million in the US alone,according toBillboard.
More Taylor Swift
This year has arguably seen her travel to more creative places than ever before.
With Lady Gaga and Beyonce as her peers, 33-year-old Swift is far from the only model for this.
Those who’ve already worked with her in her role as director also have high praise for her skills.
“I think we all know her as a phenomenal singer-songwriter.
But she is a director that happens to be a singer-songwriter.”
Talk your talk and go viral
Not everyone is so impressed with Swift’s burgeoning film career.
It saw her in conversation with Martin McDonagh, director of the critically acclaimed movie Banshees of Inisherin.
Swift wouldn’t be unique in this.
In the song Karma, from her new album Midnights, Swift addresses the longevity of her career head-on.
Doing her homework to interview McDonagh was far from a one-off.
What if she told you she’s a mastermind?
It’s perhaps appropriate, then, that this year NYU awarded her an honorary doctorate of fine arts.
But Swift makes no secret of her penchant for constant learning.
Now she’s doing the same thing with film.
Direct,'" she said at TIFF.
It helps that she tends to seek out collaborators who can also function as mentors.
Next year will be very different.
It’ll be consumed by a tour that’s already the most hyped cultural event of 2023.
“Taylor is a once-in-a-generation artist and storyteller,” VarietyquotedSearchlight Presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield as saying.
“The more art you create, hopefully the less pressure you put on yourself.
It’s just a phase I’m in right now.”
