Taylor Swift Breaks Down Her Signature ‘Rant’ Bridges

The “rant bridge” has become a signature Taylor Swift songwriting tool, developed with her longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff.

You can hear it on songs like “Cruel Summer” and “Out of the Woods”: bridges full of “stream of consciousness, endless pouring-out of emotion” that Swift says “can be when you step back and you feel everything that that piece of art was supposed to make you feel.”
