Taylor Swift has been a passionate musician since the beginning of her career, when she started out with songs written in her childhood bedroom and a guitar, and until now has created a discography which would not have been possibly recreated through AI.

The 36-year-old pop superstar has also officially been verified as an AI-Free artist on Spotify now, which ensures that her work is a by-product of her mind and not a machine’s. 

Despite critics calling her last album, The Life of a Showgirl, an “AI slop” and whatnot, the Grammy winner has always been very meticulous about her process of creating songs. 

In a recent detailed interview with the New York Times, Swift spoke at length about her songwriting process.

She told the outlet that her writing is rooted in the descriptions of feelings. Swift shared that she has tried to maintain the same intensity of feelings as she felt them for the first time as a young adult. 

“I don’t have social media on my phone. It looks like I’m just endlessly scrolling, but l’m scrolling through words – like, the words in my file that I thought of four years ago at 3 in the morning,” said the Opalite hitmaker. 

Swift is also widely acknowledged for her songwriting and was inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame for this year.

The Princess Royal carried out a ceremonial engagement on April 30, 2026, attending the traditional raising of the White Ensign at the Hospital of Sir John Hawkins in Chatham.

Anne took part in the formal proceedings at the historic naval charity site, where the White Ensign was hoisted in a ceremony reflecting service, remembrance, and the institution’s deep ties to seafaring communities. 

The event highlighted the hospital’s enduring role in supporting naval personnel and preserving its centuries-old legacy in the Medway area.

Earlier, the Princess attended an international conference in Birmingham on 29 April 2026.

The morning began at St James’s Palace, where the Princess Royal, in her role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Intelligence Corps, formally received senior military figures during an official handover of command. 

The meeting marked the transition between General Sir James Hockenhull stepping down as Colonel Commandant and Major General Matthew Jones assuming the role.

She then travelled to Birmingham for the inaugural annual conference of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine at the International Convention Centre.
