Taylor Swift's 'Red' Recap: The Inspiration Behind 'Red' [VIDEO]
Taylor Swift's official fourth album, "Red" has finally been released which enough to say that is screaming fans all over the world have chosen songs they can totally relate to. Despite making song writing look pretty easy, Swift admitted to having a hard time trying to bring all the thoughts together especially for songs that had an inspiration behind them. Here's a quick "Red" recap and all the details behind each song.
Songwriting isn't at all easy especially if someone writes from experience. However, for country crooner, Swift, making songs about love and heart break looks so easy.
"I don't really talk about my love life," explains Swift, adding, "I kind of sing about it a lot-because I really think that it sounds more, more poetic and romantic with music behind it."
The big question on every body's mind of course is who the inspiration behind Swift's songs on "Red."
One song with the title, "All Too Well" is said to be a song for Taylor Swift's former flame, Jake Gyllenhaal. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Taylor admitted to having quite a hard time trying to write down.
"All Too Well" [was difficult to write emotionally] because it took me a really long time to filter through everything I wanted to put in the song without it being a 10 minute song, which you can't put on an album. I wanted a story that could work in the form of a song and I called my co-writer Liz Rose and said, 'Come over, we've gotta filter this down,' and it took me a really long time to get it," explained Swift.
Swift's songs may not give out the names exactly but her fans know full well that Taylor takes to heart each experience.
"My fans know that I'm gonna give them the real version of what happened to me in my music," says Swift, adding, "And they know what they read on gossip sites may or may not be true. And they can kind of tell if it's true or not because they know me."
Almost all Swift's song on "Red" ironically go out to Jake Gyllenhaal. Some of the songs even point out a reference to John Meyer, Adam Young, Will Anderson and Conor Kennedy.
