Starlight - Commentary

It was six years ago that Taylor Swift released her Red album

And we are celebrating that anniversary

By taking a look back and remembering when we talked to Taylor

When she first released this album

And I remember talking to her about 'Starlight'

And I loved it because of what inspired the song

And this is how Taylor explained 'Starlight'

The song 'Starlight' is a song that I wrote

About maybe a year and a half ago

I saw a picture of, um, Ethel Kennedy and Robert F Kennedy

When they were like 17 and they were at a dance

And um, I didn't know the story behind it

But I just kind of made up a story

'Cause I was really inspired by how carefree they looked

And I ended up getting to meet Ethel a few months later

And play the song for her, and she loved it

She was so excited, so it was a really wonderful experience

To get to write that song and then play it for her
