A Little Story

Taylor Swift sat down with Billboard Magazine in their newest issue to talk about her new album, Red. It was announced earlier this week that Taylor would be gracing the cover of their newest issue.

In the interview Taylor also talks writing about being 22, working with collaborators, and so much more. Highlights from the interview can be found below.

Writing on being 22: “For me, being 22 has been my favorite year of my life. I like all the possibilities of how you’re still learning, but you know enough. You still know nothing, but you know that you know nothing.

You’re old enough to start planning your life, but you’re young enough to know there are so many unanswered questions. That brings about a carefree feeling that is sort of based on indecision and fear and a the same time letting lose. Being 22 has taught me so much.”

On working with collaborators: “I start all of my co-writing sessions with girl talk. I walk in and I go, ‘I have to tell you what I’m going through right now’ and I spend 25 minutes talking about the guy that I met four months ago and how things were fine and then he lied about this and I freaked out.

I haven’t been talking to him, but I really want to. I want to write a song about that feeling. And then I get out my guitar and say here’s my idea, but I wanted to give you the back story before I played you the idea.”
