“I’ve grown in the sense that I’ve allowed my influences to infiltrate my music more,” Taylor recently told USA Today. “Going into the studio with producers I had never worked with before was definitely a way of stretching musically. I knew I couldn’t make the same record twice. I mean, I could have, but I’m not going to. With my fans, I’ve established a level of trust, and part of that trust is that I really don’t want to bore them.”
