So far his description of the relationship w/ Taylor reminds me a LOT of Skye Sweetnam and James Robertson in the studio, though I think James R was even younger than Chapman (who was 28 when Swift was 14).
Also an interesting conversation about how FAST the songwriting process was between album one and album two. Album two was being written without any indication that anyone would necessarily hear it, even though by the time that album was released you get profiles like Caramanica's. In Chapman's mind, the pressure wasn't really on until "Speak Now," at which point "Fearless" had already won AOTY at the Grammys. The interviewer: "She has stayed legitimately A1 for...15 years!" <--I know!!!
Taylor convo starts in earnest around 36:00.
