LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: If rumors are to be believed you can soon enjoy a TV show based on Taylor Swift’s love life. It has been reported by The Sun that the ‘Anti-Hero’ songstress has met with the ‘Succession’ screenwriter Alice Birch to helm a new TV show which will be based on her love life with the spring of her famous exes.
Taylor Swift, who already has a history of taking inspiration from her love life, will now be testing the newer genre of storytelling through a show. As per the sources who told the publication, the 33-year-songstress is collaborating with Birch to create a “meta-feminist” show and they believe the show can be inspired by the string of her famous exes that includes the likes of Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayers, Tom Hiddleston and Joe Alwyn.
Is Taylor Swift's love life being made into a TV show?
As per the insiders, the ‘Dear John’ singer has met Alice Birch - who is famous for ‘Succession’ and ‘Normal People’ - to give shape to her dreams. The insider said, “Taylor is a multi-talented individual and while her love life has given her ten No1 albums, it is also in the early stages of spawning a new TV show.” The source shared that the singer and songwriter, who is “incredibly astute, " found “an ideal writing partner” in Birch. They said to The Sun, “She has been introduced to Alice and they have started discussing a possible new screenplay,” before adding, “Taylor is incredibly astute and getting her head into a project like this would be perfect for her.”
The sources further added about Birch, “Alice is an ideal writing partner as she helped shape Succession character Shiv Roy,” and continued, “Seeing how she moulded this character, who existed in a male-dominated environment, caught Taylor’s eye.”
Saying the project is still in the initial stage, they said, “They have just been throwing around ideas,” and “Naturally, Taylor’s relationships have inspired some of her biggest songs, many of which have become empowerment anthems.
They said, “This translates easily on to the screen and there are so many threads they can take from it,” before commenting, “It is really exciting and something Taylor is looking to branch out into.”

‘I adore telling stories this way’
The ‘Cardigan’ star declared last year that she would be directing her first film after gaining success in directing herself for her music videos for ‘The Man’, ‘Cardigan’, ‘Anti-Hero’ and ‘Bejeweled’. The project is going to be produced by Searchlight Pictures.
Swift said during that time, “I’d like to keep taking baby steps and I’m at a place now where the next baby step is not a baby step.” “It would be committing to making a film and I would absolutely love for the right opportunity to arise, because I adore telling stories this way,” added the multiple Grammy-winning singer.
Searchlight presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield said of the collaboration, “Taylor is a once in a generation artist and storyteller. It is a genuine joy and privilege to collaborate with her as she embarks on this exciting and new creative journey.”
