    I knew Taylor from back in the day. We were both child actors and I saw her at auditions and a few acting classes. The teacher would often pair us for the mirror exercises. She was so sweet. I saw her a handful of times between 2002-2005. I wasn’t surprised she became a musician because she loved music. I remember when we chatted on AIM, she frequently gave me lists of songs she was listening to and was telling me to check them out. I didn’t see her much after 2006.
    In 2014, I went and saw her and her band perform at the House of Blues in Dallas. Before the show, I gave the stagehand a note and asked him to give it to Taylor. After the show I went back to the stage hand and he said “Taylor would like to see you”. So I went back stage and saw Taylor and she instantly recognized me. I was so overwhelmed with excitement, and she gave me a big hug. She was still as sweet as I remembered her from back in the day, only thing that was different was she seemed a bit more shy now. But she might have also been a little tired from having just performed or maybe she was overwhelmed by my enthusiasm. Regardless, it was great seeing her again. Nothing but nice things to say about her.

    What I loved about this one is Penn and Taylor not seeing each other for 10 years and picking back up like it was yesterday. We all know that feeling I think. Also cool to hear how Taylor perceived her time on GG as a young kid and growing up in almost a different kind of world as all the others who were in their 20’s and kind of understanding the industry a tad more. Seems lonely in a way. But Taylor turned out to be this incredible human regardless of the struggles she’s had to overcome. Love this episode.

I was dying to see more of Jenny's development, how she was going to rule the school with Blair gone and so on. Now I'm so happy she left and did what she wanted to do.

      She talks like she is memorizing a script half the time when she does interviews 😂 she repeats the same exact shit in every single interview. That is the actress in her. Memorizing her answers, instead of speaking, truthfully, She never sits down and answers questions from the heart. 99% of the time I can verbatim answer the questions how she is going to answer that because she says the same phrases over and over and over again. Even when she speaks about the death of her friend. She repeats the same exact phrase. “I was on a downward spiral of depression and substance abuse and everything that comes along with grief.” Never changes that exact phrasing. She is to put together and to rehearsed for my taste.

      Do you have to comment on every video of hers? EVERY youtube video of her band you mention with negative comments, that's a sign of success and prestige that you feel for her. There's a fine line between hate and love, be careful.
      Taylor is the real thing, she's a person who has dedicated herself to music and the fact that you think she's rehearsed doesn't change the skills she has as a songwriter, musician and instrumentalist.

      @nameless.faceless. Год назад +4

      Speaking as a vocalist & vocal coach, people don’t realize that multiple parts of the voice are important and usually when you see someone say that about a 2octave range, it’s because their tone is unmatched & something you can’t train to have. That’s sometimes worth more than a voice without texture that has 4-5 octaves 🤷🏼‍♀️ just my take.

      I love her music but I do find it funny when people say “they’d do great in the 70s/80s/90s” about bands that are highly inspired/low key derivative of the bands in that time. Its like, “they’d fit in great in those times”.. and yeah! you’re not wrong, they are literally creating music in that style, as if to purposely carry their torch.
      It’s like saying Greta Van Fleet would do great in the 70s.. lolol yes! 😅 that’s a very reasonable, albeit obvious thing to say since they sound exactly like one of the most popular bands of those times.

    as a taylor fan, this interview was so refreshing because usually she doesn’t get to do a long-form content type of interview, especially where she comes off very comfortable (which I have to thank the hosts!). watching her thrive after a lot of heartache just makes me so happy, because there were times where she was busy that it was hard to be coherent. I remember the s*xist and very s*xualized interviews she had to put up with when she was a teenager trying to find identity and not really getting any affirmations, OUTSIDE of other female-led bands like halestorm (and eventually her own idols). it’s truly been a long time coming, because trust me we were in the TRENCHES when that tampon photo came out & absolutely no one was willing to see how wrong it was because her character became the most hated at the time (like think when she slept with Chuck) and people wanted to discredit her musicality because they thought she was a poser entering the scene. it’s easy for her to be bitter esp with all the hate from all sides, but her still being sweet w/ the perspective that she’s carved out her own path is very cool.

    I met Taylor a year ago, about a year after my brother passed away, a kind of random meeting after I had been listening to her for over 10 years, since I was 13. Literally some the most calming and down to earth energy I've felt from someone. I didn't want to trauma dump a death story on her but her newest album had came out on my birthday, I heard rock and roll heaven and immediately sobbed. He was still alive but it reminded me of the inevitable (he was a rockstar too). He passed away 4 months later after telling me since I was six that he wanted to be apart of the 27 club. Then meeting Taylor almost exactly a year later... It felt too divine not to share somewhere

I dropped out of college because there was a click in my head that went, "Wait, I didn't need to become a teacher. I could just drop out and go become a fashion designer." I am now a fashion designer for ten years in the running, and Taylor Momsen in Gossip Girl (Jenny) was one of my inspirations to follow this creative career. My major inspo was and is Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. So ❤❤❤

She never once mentioned wanting to be a musician, until after she and the entire cast of gossip girl were all offered record deals. She and Leighton Meester accepted the deal. She didn’t seek a record contract on her own nor did she form her own band. The record label came to the cast, and she agreed to sign a record contract as a solo artist. There was no band until much later on when the record company brought in her band members for her. Prior to this all she did was talk about how she idolize Natalie Portman, and wanted a career like hers. But suddenly, after being offered a record contract, she “always wanted to be a musician and never wanted to act”. That is the version she likes people to believe.

    Much respect to Taylor for the way she has lived her life thus far. Enjoyable podcast. And yes the only way forward is through it. Are we ever really "children" but one respects the very "adult" way that at every turn you have pushed forward. Guess I have been the same in that parents and those around me always spoke the truth and encouraged growth. On reflection that makes the loss of them over time that much more painful and emotional.

    I’ve been a fan of taylor from the pretty reckless, never really watched the show but always heard from her POV that was just a gig, not her main thing. Music is. It’s all has been. It was nice to see her talk about her childhood, cause she’s so reserved… She didn’t mention, but she was on tour when Cornell killed himself. It was rough for her to see one of her idols die. And then Cato, the one who got TPR together… She’s so strong. She didn’t had to be, but she is. I hope she reads this and I hope to see her show next time she tours in Brazil. I love your work Taylor, you’re awesome!

    I'm a huge fan of Taylor's!!! I watched every movie and TV show she's been in. I grew up with The pretty reckless and it's still one of my favorite bands. Thank you Taylor for being so open and vulnerable, thank you for all the music you and your band produced!!! I never got a chance to see you yet, and I hope that maybe sometime you'll come to Norway. R.I.P Kato, you'll always be in our hearts!!!

    Taylor was a wonderful guest! She seems so down to earth despite starting in the entertainment industry so early and having such a hectic early life. I really get her when she said music was her solace. I think if she didn't have that it would be so much harder for her to stay grounded when that industry makes it so easy for you to go off the rails. I'm really happy she got to do what she was always passionate about. I loved Gossip Girl but I was happy she left even though I really liked how Jenny was like a hurricane because I could tell as great as Taylor was, her heart wasn't in it, and I'd rather she do what she wanted. When i was a teenager watching Gossip Girl, Blair and Jenny, and also Leighton and Taylor were my ultimate style icons. I'd wear Blair inspired preppy outfits in the day and then at night I'd try to do the Taylor looks where I could, with the dark eye make up and leather jacket and fishnets and lingerie inspired dresses. I couldn't find vintage slips anywhere where I was living but Taylor Momsen and Dita von Teese were my inspiration to start collecting vintage.

    As a huge TPR fan, this was such a great interview. I'm so glad you two got to share the connection you did, because it really pulled her out in the interview just because she was so naturally comfortable with you. Most of the interviews she has the more reserved, and as she said herself, very introverted acknowledgement of herself. But you truly got her, and allowed her to be Taylor. It made for a wonderful conversation.

    Brilliant talk between you all, very open and genuine overall, thanks. What I especially loved here was the way you were able to creep out of those difficult moments in the end by making exactly the right comments to ease it down into a laugh. As a TPR, sorry, Pretty, sorry, The Pretty Reckless fan in and out I have seen many people in conversation with Taylor who were not so thoughtfull when it is obviously clear that talking about the passing of Kato is still very hard for Taylor to bring up. You were able to brighten it up again with respect. Thanks for that, cheers
