Talking about ‘Cardigan,’ co-writer Aaron Dessner tells Rolling Stone, “I just sent her [Taylor] a folder of things I’d done recently and was excited about.  Hours after, she sent back a fully written version of ‘Cardigan.’ It was like a lightning bolt struck the house.  She just dove into it and embraced this emotional current, and I hope that’s what people take out of it: The humanity in her writing and melodies. It’s a different side to her. She could have been every bit as successful just making these kinds of songs, but it’s so great that she’s also made everything that she’s ever made, and this is a really interesting shift, and an emotional one.”
