Anime movies and pop song soundtracks have been mixing pretty well for some time now. The next movie DC League of Super Pets is no exception, as two of the creative forces behind the film are big Taylor Swift fans and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of them. The following is a story involving secret measures, an unreleased song by Swift and an image of The Rock wearing headphones and playing one of Taylor’s covers.
How the DC League of Super-Pets got Bad Blood (Taylor version)
I had the honor of speaking to the other great Swiftie behind DC League of Super Pets, co-writer / director Jared Stern. While we were talking on Zoom, I had to ask her about the two Taylor Swift songs that were in the movie. One seemed more important than the other from the start, as I learned that “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version)” had not yet been released and the re-recorded version of the album it was based on had not been released. , 1989.
All of this added to this fun first story Jared Stern told Gossipify. Here’s how Stern and Dwayne Johnson decided to use “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version)” and how they earned the privilege:
First of all, Dwayne Johnson is a huge Swiftie, just like me. So we were both very excited when we thought about the song that Krypto [listens to]When he pouts and is frustrated as a teenager, he slams the door and puts on his headphones. And it had to be Taylor. So we asked around and watched the movie, he thought it was really funny and said yes. Of course, it was important for us to just want “Taylor’s Version”, and it hadn’t been released yet. But it’s in our movie, which is pretty exciting.
As the re-recording of Taylor Swift’s old albums continues, in an attempt to combat this fact The original Swift masters have been sold off, only two albums have been fully reissued. while we have asked when and how Taylor works In this project, 1989 is the album that comes closest to the debut of Taylor’s Version. It is also the same album as furious spirit took a hint from, like “Wildest Dreams” ended in the trailer Last year.
The story so far is pretty straightforward: Jared Stern and Dwayne Johnson really enjoyed the inclusion of “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version)” on DC League of Super Petsand, in turn, Taylor Swift loved her film. As we move on to the next section of this story, Swift apparently enjoyed the movie so much that she decided to come up with another song to use in production.
The song Taylor Swift offered as her second contribution to the DC League Of Super-Pets
Time Red (customized version) in fact, it was released globally, there was a time when it was once as secret as anything Taylor Swift does now. This period coincided with the production of DC League of Super PetsBut that didn’t stop Taylor and his reps from offering another unreleased song to the project.
Therefore, the decision was made to offer Jared Stern and Dwayne Johnson the use of “Message in a Bottle (Taylor Version) (From the Vault)”. Needless to say, Stern was over the moon, as any self-proclaimed Swiftie would. However, the co-writer / director didn’t just want to put the song in the credits for no reason. With that in mind, here’s how Jared Stern decided to include that other song in the movie:
As for the credits, I think Taylor and his brother and the company came to us and said, “Hey, you know, we have this song.” It was before Red’s reissue … they had a song that had never been released before, as a snippet of this album that was going to be on the reissue of ‘Taylor’s Version’, and we were like, ‘Yeah. , To piecere. I’d love to hear it. … I tried to make the decision not only based on the fact that this experience was incredibly beautiful, but also on the fact that it was the perfect song for the end of the movie, because it’s so cute. For me it’s a love song, but I think for our movie, [it’s] love between a pet and an owner. It’s those pets in a shelter who put these messages in a bottle, hoping to find someone to adopt them.
This might be the sweetest reason to use a song like “Message in a Bottle (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” in a great movie. With the general theme of pet adoption tied to the adventures Ace (Kevin Hart) and his friends embark on with their newfound powers, using a love-seeking song sounds more familiar when it’s in progress. It’s about animals.
However, there was a process that Jared Stern and others went through to consider this song DC League of Super Pets. For our final piece of the puzzle, we’re about to dive into something Taylor Swift fans will absolutely love. See, for that same stern Listens to Taylor’s version of “Message in a Bottle”, some pretty strong measures had to be taken to ensure its secrecy.
How secret is the process of listening to an unreleased Taylor Swift song?
For the rest of the world, listening to Taylor Swift music is as easy as plugging in a pair of headphones. That is, if you want to hear the versions currently available, it means that Taylor’s version will not always be available. While we’re not talking about something as crazy as the behind-the-scenes curiosity jokes in “Shake It Off,” there was some momentum involved, as Jared Stern explained:
It was very secret, as you can imagine. We actually drove up to a house in the hills. We walked in and sat around a table, each with headphones on. It was great, I felt like a secret agent. They were all connected, it was as if four headphones were connected to a computer. We sat down, listened to the song “Message in a Bottle” before it came out.
Imagine four people gathered around a computer, in headphones, listening to Taylor’s version of “Message in a Bottle”, and one of them turns out to be The Rock. Well, technically you don’t have to rely only on your imagination for this image, like a new promotion for DC League of Super Pets did the job for you. Watch this video straight from Johnson’s Twitter page showing him with Kevin Hart playing the two songs used in the film:
