It’s A Shame
A sneak preview of Taylor Swift’s appearance on Katie has been released. Taylor will be on the show this Friday, October 26.
Also, above you will find an interview of E! News chatting with Taylor about her brand new album, Red. Red was released earlier this week on Monday, October 22.
In addition, Taylor chatted with Yahoo about creating the new album, her song “Begin Again”, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.
On creating the new album: “When I was approaching the idea of making this album… It took two years. In the first year, I wrote a lot of things on my own and kind of produced them with Nathan the way that we always do things. And my label came to me and they said, “You’re done. This record is finished. Congratulations.” And I looked at my label head, Scott Borchetta, and I said, ‘I just don’t think we are. Because I think it’s good but I don’t think it’s different enough. And I don’t think we’re covering enough new ground here.’
Because this is album 4. And when you’re making album 4, you have two choices: You can either do things the way that you have always done them, and then you’re forming a pattern of doing things the same way, or you can switch it up and go outside your comfort zone. And for me, my comfort zone is writing songs alone. So I just thought, what if I were to indulge those curiosities that I’ve always had?”
On her song “Begin Again”: “…the song “Begin Again” came after the dust kind of settled on one of those situations I was in. it’s an interesting feeling when you kind of look up from it. For the past year you’ve been looking back and recounting everything, just writing about it and kind of going back in time. Then all of a sudden you have this moment where you look up and look around and realize that there’s something else out there for you, clearly.
And I think that that kind of thing that happens where you all of a sudden have this epiphany that there’s hope, that it starts over, that there’s rebirth in that whole horrible crash-and-burn end of a relationship, I think that’s a pretty wonderful moment. And for me that moment inspired the song ‘Begin Again.'”
