Taylor Swift Interview About " RED "

Taylor Swift interviewed about her brand new album RED ( what else can she interview about ) to RoshEchad and I'm here to share with you everything she spilled on her spicey interview ! 

Why did you choose the title RED ?

" I wrote a song named '" Red " about the different colors going on  through a breakup - colors like blue and dark grey , who symbols sadness and dipression . While writing I got into conclusion that you can't forget someone if the love was red " . 

What's the idea behind the creative album cover ? 

" I wanted the cover to be different then everything I've ever done . One of my friends , Sara Barlow , pictured me on my birthday and gave me the pictures on a CD as a present . I looked at the pictures and told her she is a great photographer . I asked her to photograph the cover of the album .  She got hooked and said yes . I'm the proudest in the world of those pictures , and Sara is so talented " . 



How this album describes the point of where you are in life ? 

" Every album of mine represent different chapeters of my life . Fearless describes my big break and the fact that there is a big music world outside that I just discovered . It was scary and excting album , that helped me to get into the mainstream and succseed in the grammy . Later , on Speak Now , I felt I need to prove myself , because the former album was so big . I wanted to write the album by myself and to prove I can do it by myself . It was a bit dark , but it's something I'll always be proud of . 
With RED I wanted to develope , to learn , to get out of my comfort zone and try new things . I called to all of the people I look up too - producers , writers and artists and asked them to be a part of the album " .  

I heard that you had a first edition of the album that didn't released at the end . What happened there and when , actually , you finished it ? 

" I worked on the album for 2 years . At the end of the 1st year , I decieded to get back in the studio and try something else . I called to all of my favorites , like the producers Buch Woker and Dan Willson ( Sorry if I spell wrong ) and also Gary Lightbody and I asked them to see what they can do with my songs . I kept writing and writing until I couldn't write more , there I stopped . I couldn't write on another feeling that is not represented in this album . When I finally breathed to relief - I put down my guitar and called the label company , they said they thought I finished a year ago . It was very exciting " . 



Tell me a bit about the writing of the album and what's behind it .  

" The lyrics writing was an amazing experience , because every part of the album is standing by its own . I was very curious to discover what's behind every song , but it's something I keep in secret . " .  


Why it was important to you that " We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together " would be the first single from the album ? 

" I played this song to family & friends and I was surprised that they kept singing this song non-stop in a few days . It just didn't came out of their head . when I watch the album I see a varied list of songs that no one is similar to the other and not defining the album . I chose this song to be a single to intrigue the listeners and to make them wonder if the whole album sounds like this , althought it's not true " . 

Tell me about the shooting of " We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together " music video.

" The music video is a consept that I never did - one camera , no editing , in one take . Everyone worked very hard around it and tried that evrything will go without a hitch , because the camera caught everything happening in front of it . The music video directed by Declone Witllbom  that already worked with me on Mean and Ours . We shot the video 18 times before we nailed it . Everytime something went wrong and we had to start over . We had outfits , costumes , extras , and a set - it was totally crazy ! "
