Taylor Swift Torments Her Ex’s In This Way


Taylor Swift thinks it's "fun" to torment ex-boyfriends on her songs.

Speaking about 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together', Taylor - who has previously dated Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and John Mayer - said: "I made a song that I knew would absolutely drive him crazy when he heard it on the radio. Not only would it hopefully be played a lot, so that he'd have to hear it, but it's the opposite of the kind of music that he was trying to make me feel inferior to. I did that because that's fun."

While her bad relationships have given her lots of hit records, Taylor - who is now dating Conor Kennedy - wishes she never had the inspiration and her romances had worked out.

She told USA Today newspaper: "I can say I'd honestly rather be happy than have 30 to 40 songs that I've written about these thrilling, exciting, horrible, unhappy times. I know red flags, and I steer away from them, because I have a priority on being happy.

"At some point, you grow out of being attracted to that flame that burns you over and over and over again. Thankfully, I hadn't learned that lesson yet when I wrote this record."

Man Muncher


Taylor Swift became "friends and pals" with Ed Sheeran as soon as they started working together.

The singers teamed up to write duet 'Everything Has Changed' for Swift's forthcoming new album 'Red' in her back garden, and the 22-year-old singer admits the pair had a great working relationship.

She said: "Both of us are really open, so if he doesn't like a phrasing he'll tell me and if I don't like a chord, I'll tell him.

"It's really cool to have an honest channel where he'll be like, 'No', And I'll be like, 'Yep' and he'll be like, 'No', and I'll go, 'OK I'll change it'.

"He is such an amazing writer and an amazing singer. I don't know, it's just amazing to have his voice on my record."

Taylor and Ed's close friendship led to them pouring out their feelings for 'Everything Has Changed', which is about how a person's views on the world change when a special someone comes into their life.

She explained: "We were just talking about the feeling of when you first meet someone and all of a sudden the way that the world looks to you changes.

"Like everything looks different to you because of this one person, because one new person came into your life. It's really cool."

Taylor admits both she and Ed were desperate to work with each other and just happened to ask their management to arrange a collaboration at exactly the same time.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1, she added: "I had management reach out and at the same time he was having his management reach out to me because we both wanted to work together at the same time."

The 19-year-old 'The Pretty Reckless' singer looks super skinny in the black and white footage in a newly released clip called 'The Words' directed by Tim Mattia that begins by focusing on her different body parts and ends by showing her fully naked.

The artistic footage of the starlet - who found fame at the age of seven after starring alongside Jim Carey as Cindy Lou Who in 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' - includes audio of Taylor narrating the lyrics of the band's controversial new track.

The song includes the lines: "Broken lines, across my mirror. Show my face, all red and bruised. And though I screamed and I screamed, well no one came running. No I wasn't saved."

The blonde singer - who previously admitted she is "completely neurotic" - posted the clip on twitter yesterday and asked her 600,000 followers to share it.
