THIS IS MY FLIGHT SONG

BY ABIGAIL JONES

“IN MUSIC... there’s such a thing as a breakout moment for a brand-new artist, where they come out of nowhere and all of a sudden everybody is singing this song,” Taylor Swift said to a roaring crowd of 50,000 in Philadelphia last June. It was her 1989 tour, and she was about to introduce a surprise guest. “The song I’m referencing is a song called ‘Fight Song!’” The crowd erupted as if Swift had just promised to perform at every American girl’s sweet 16.

THE NEW GIRL: At 34, Platten is nearly twice the age of many of her pop star peers in an industry obsessed with youth.
