There are ghosts of MM & Shellback in the TFOA MV, there are IG photos of her in studio with them with a lot of brown liquor around, she called MM her friend (very oddly & with a very weird Britney mention) but then also has just released a song saying she likes her friends cancelled.

Swift writes all her own songs, but frequently collaborates with a core group of producers and songwriters, including Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner (The National), Max Martin, Shellback, and Liz Rose, who help craft melodies, production, and bridge sections, with Swift always the primary lyricist.

I bought a cold brew coffee maker a couple weeks ago. It's amazing. I don't drink hot coffee, and cold brew is more appealing to me.
Using Fire Dept Coffee, Shellback Espresso. It's nicely smooth, but bold. It slaps you in the face then kisses your cheek. Good stuff.

Sailors have a certain lingo, and it doesn’t always make sense to landlubbers. Someone who has had a long life at sea and acquired a lot of experience as a sailor might be called a shellback. In particular, this nickname is applied to sailors who have crossed the equator.

“After decades at sea, he proudly earned the nickname of shellback from the ship’s crew.”

“She listened wide-eyed as the veteran shellbacks told stories of their time at sea.”

“I felt safe aboard the boat captained by the shellback, even if I was only on an afternoon sailing.”

Sant! Og ein kan også høyra den rocka energien til Max Martin og Shellback i poplåtar som dei skriv og produserer.

I thought my pirate friends might get a kick out of this, my dad's certificate for crossing the equator while in the Navy, marking him as a Shellback. A term for someone who has sailed across the Equator.

I think it makes sense in the context of what she was saying! Like how she’s talked about that she and Shellback were more like peers being mentored by Max during reputation. She was highlighting Max due to the length of his career and experience I think!

Max Martin but no Shellback?

I feel like the 90s and 00s were focused a lot on producers like Max Martin and Shellback but also Bitch Vig, Alan Moulder and Flood on the alternative/rock side of things. I would love to learn more about the musicians who helped flesh out the 90s/00s music scene more if anyone has recommendations

Awesome - thank you for your service, Shellback Joe!

40 years ago today, 12/10/85, while onboard the USS Saratoga w/ my F-14 Tomcat squadron VF-103, we crossed the equator & I went from being a Pollywog to becoming a Shellback after the wacky ceremony. I was 20 & the hospital corpsman (medic) for my squadron, The Sluggers.

I think she wanted it to be but her label fought her on it. It's why some of the TV production sounds wildly different (such as Girl At Home TV)

I remember they only let her do 1989 pop if she worked w/ Martin & Shellback bc they didn't think she could do it w/out the "best" pop producers

They released another set too! The Sawtooth and Shellback aren't quite as detailed, but it's a neat little set and fits nicely.

My hot take on #TheLifeOfAShowgirl: I didn’t have high expectations to start with because most of the songs she mentioned when she announced it that were written with Max Martin and Shellback are among her most mediocre, with a few notable exceptions

No. I was west coast Navy, but I am a Shellback. That was a “fun” initiation day 🙄

If you've ever been here, you might be a Shellback!
