Music recommendation: Taylor Swift

[icewhite]

I know, I know, she gets played all the time and many of you are probably sick and tired of hearing her songs, but really, why do people not skate to her songs if they even skate to John Mayer? Are they too difficult to skate to from a technical point of view? Or do skaters just not like her songs? Every time I hear her on the radio I am wondering, she's so popular that people must have thought about it...

I think somebody needs to have a free to Wildest Dreams + Look what you made me do. They are not my favourite songs of her, but I think it could work... What do you think - possible?

Ugh. Please no. And please no John Mayer. And please no Justin Timberlake.

So it's just taste? I have never choreographed a fs program, so I'm wondering.

Because billie eilish doesn't like competition for worst music in figure skating?

In reality my guess is the licensing fees are probably prohibitively expensive.

Bradie Tennell actually skated to a Taylor Swift's "You Need to Calm Down" in SOI one year.

Look what you made me do might be a bit... asking for trouble if the skate is bad (like the girl on one of the music competition shows singing "am I not pretty enough", it's giving cruel people ammo)

Mind you, it's the only Taylor Swift song I like but that's because I've collected some killer fanvids to it which always makes me happy, and I can see it as a wonderful satiric gala song to someone with the right comic chutzpah.

All Too Well, tolerate it (granted I know that there is a swear word in it), willow, cardigan, exile, Lover, Treacherous, Back to December, Wildest Dreams, This Love, Clean, and You Are in Love.

I think somebody used champagne problems and Beautiful Ghosts (the song she wrote for the Cats movie,) recently.

Didn’t Gracie Gold skate an EX to Taylor Swift one year?

Didn’t Gracie Gold skate an EX to Taylor Swift one year?

Yes, It was "Shake It Off." Was it @ 2014 US Nationals in Boston?
