Writing 'We Are Never Getting Back Together' was one of the most hilarious experiences I have ever had in the studio because it just happened so naturally.

I remember auditioning for record labels and having them tell me, 'Well, the country-radio demographic is the thirty-five-year-old female housewife. Give us a song that relates to the thirty-five-year-old female, and we'll talk.'

I fought the idea of having security for a very long time, because I really value normalcy. I really do. I like to be able to take a drive by myself.

When we're falling in love or out of it, that's when we most need a song that says how we feel. Yeah, I write a lot of songs about boys. And I'm very happy to do that.

A good relationship is all about balance and chemistry.

Factoring in millions of people when I'm writing a song is not a good idea. I don't ever do it.

I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.
