Singing Guide: Taylor Swift feat. Shawn Mendes

Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources

Are you a beginner or advanced singer?

Taylor Swift has impressed millions around the world with her unique mix of country and pop, and more recently her transition to alternative music. In this article, we will explore her vocal and performance style and how you can learn to sing like her.

Swift is known for her unique vocal technique, which includes a combination of breathiness and rasp. To achieve this, she often sings through her nose, but with great care to not make her voice too nasally. Swift's vocal range is impressive, stretching from the bottom of an alto range to the top of a soprano range, and she often incorporates head voice and falsettos in her songs.

To learn to sing like Taylor Swift, it is important to do breathing exercises to improve your breath control and support. Singing along to her songs in your vocal range can also help you practice breathiness, and transition smoothly between your chest voice and head voice.

It's worth noting that in her recent album "folklore" and "evermore", Taylor Swift has adopted a more folksy and alternative sound, with lower and more relaxed vocals. So, while practicing Swift's older tracks is valuable, make sure to also experiment with and practice her newer style.

Swift's "Lover" and "folklore" albums are excellent examples of her unique vocal abilities. In "Lover," the song "Cornelia Street" showcases Swift's range, where she sings softly in her head voice at the beginning of the song and gradually builds up to a powerful belt.

In "folklore," the songs "cardigan" and "champagne problems" are great examples of her more folksy sound, with relaxed vocals and a breathy quality.

To recap, to learn to sing like Taylor Swift, work on your breath control and support, practice singing through your nose while also avoiding sounding too nasally, and experiment with Swift's newer and older styles.
