Taylor Swift’s Request for Handwritten Lyrics to Harry Styles’ Birthday
A Special Request from Taylor Swift
Speaking in a recent TikTok post, the Australian indie-rock band, The Temper Trap, recalled a memorable moment when Taylor Swift asked them to handwrite the lyrics to one of their biggest hits for Harry Styles’ birthday. This request dates back to the period when Swift was dating Styles from 2012 to 2013.
A Love for Their Music
The band learned of Styles’ love for their music after he got a tattoo of their lyrics from their debut single ‘Sweet Disposition’. "I think [Styles] tweeted that he got it, so then, you know, it was brought to our attention," lead singer Dougy Mandagi said, pointing out that Styles, who was in One Direction at the time, got the lyrics wrong on his tattoo.
A Special Request from Taylor Swift
On the original song the lyrics read: "Won’t stop ’til it’s over / Won’t stop to surrender," but Styles had the words scribed, "Won’t stop ’til we surrender" instead. Mandagi recalled that the band was laughing about how Styles was wrong and then, fast forward to the Aria Awards, where Swift was a presenter. She came to their green room with a piece of paper, asking them to write the lyrics for her boyfriend’s birthday. "I was like, ‘OK cool’. So then the dilemma was do I write the right lyrics or do I write the wrong lyrics?" he laughed. "I can’t remember which one I wrote."
The Aria Awards and BRIT Awards
Swift was recently nominated for two BRIT Awards, including International Artist Of The Year alongside the likes of Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter. This year’s awards will take place at The O2 in London on Saturday, March 1, and will be broadcast exclusively on ITV1 and ITVX. Comedian and actor Jack Whitehall has been announced as the returning host, making it his fifth time presenting the ceremony.
Conclusion
Taylor Swift’s request for handwritten lyrics to Harry Styles’ birthday is a unique and memorable moment in the history of The Temper Trap. The band’s willingness to accommodate her request reflects their dedication to their music and their fans. As the music industry continues to evolve, it is moments like these that remind us of the importance of music in our lives.
