During the conversation, he said that “every one” of Taylor‘s eras surprises him, but one song “completely punched in the gut” when he first heard it.
“The stuff that shocks me the most is someone’s vulnerability in a song. The end of ‘You’re on Your Own, Kid’ is one of those moments for me,” he said.
“I remember, she wrote that right in front of me and then we put it down, and I was completely punched in the gut. Beautiful.”
“The stuff that shocks or surprises me is often the most beautifully written stuff,” he said, adding: “With her, I’m constantly taken aback.”
