Taylor Swift on Being a Mentor on 'The Voice,' and Her Impressions of the Coaches

How are you? I'm really, really good. So great to see you. You look beautiful, as always. Thank you. You look beautiful, as always. Wow. Make sure you got that on camera. Look at that skin. Oh, thank you. That glowing skin. Oh, gosh. Now you threw me off, Taylor, right here. Well, right now what you're working on is on The Voice. You are a mega-mentor. Not just a regular mentor. A mega-mentor. I'm a mega-mentor? A mega-mentor. I didn't know I had mega in front of it. I'm so excited about that. So what does that role entail? You're working with every single one of the coaches on all of their contestants. When they come in to rehearse, they walk in, they have a song they've chosen, they sing it for us, I watch and I make some mental notes, and then we go up and we kind of give them some pointers and tips and things that we could see done a little bit differently or a little bit better or connect a little more, and I try really hard to give them very specific tips. Let me ask you. If you were a coach, how would you describe your coaching style? At this point, it's very direct. I like to tell them what they're good at and what they should keep and what they should change, alter. I think that it helps them to tell them things that are detailed. These are lessons that I've learned over the last 10 years on tour, but I learned them in front of huge crowds, on TV, on award shows, and to be able to tell them these things behind the scenes in a rehearsal space is really fun because you forget you're learning these lessons as you go. I wanted to ask you your first impression, first word that comes to mind when I say the judges' names, okay, in random order. Oh my God. Adam Levine. Charisma. Gwen Stefani. Cool. Blake Shelton. Irreverent. Pharrell. Zen. There's a certain equilibrium that comes into the room for everyone when Pharrell walks in, and there's this effect he has on you. You walk away and for about two weeks, you're just like, everything's fine. I love your song. You listen to it? Yeah, and the video's awesome. Oh my God. Thank you. It's so cool. But you were dancing all funky. Well, it's like, that's kind of a metaphor for living like you don't care what people think. Yeah. If you're willing to dance because you love it and because you're having fun, not because you look cool, that's a whole different thing. That means you're playing by your own rules. I love it. There you go. So I was hoping that was what came across. Yes. Are we going to see you perform anything from 1989 on the show? They kind of tell me to keep certain things secret, so. Something we'll have to tune in to see. You'll have to just pay attention, you know? You have to watch Extra. We'll have to watch it. There we go. They'll tell you everything you need to know. You heard it right there. All the time.
