Taylor Swift has revealed that her new album will contain songs inspired by her own heartbreak, as writing about those devastating breakups helps her to move forward.
Speaking to Vogue, she said, “There’s just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak, and that will turn out to be what the next album is about.
“The only way that I can feel better about myself—pull myself out of that awful pain of losing someone - is writing songs about it to get some sort of clarity.”
“I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid. I have a few red flags now. If someone doesn’t seem to want to get to know me as a person but instead seems to have kind of bought into the whole idea of me and he approves of my Wikipedia page, along with men who are threatened by what I do.
“Also I can't deal with someone who’s obsessed with privacy. If you care about privacy to the point where we need to dig a tunnel under this restaurant so that we can leave? I can’t do that.”
Taylor also admitted that her trim figure is not down to a strict gym regimen, saying, “I don’t ever want to be that person whose self-image overtakes who they are. I am not a fan of working out that much.”
“There’s no regimen. There’s no personal trainer. I love to go hiking because it’s an experience. If I need to gain stamina for a tour, I will run every single night on the treadmill, but I don’t necessarily like being at the gym.”
