Taylor Swift had to fight to record this song of hers from that film about Paul Potts

  • Brad O'Mance

Taylor Swift newTaylor 'Swifto' Swift had to fight for her right to record and release a song for this new film about Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts, One Chance.

"I had to fight to do this because I try to take a break in between albums and try and give people a minute to not hear me on the radio," she said to the BBC about 'Sweeter Then Fiction', the song that appears on the film's closing credits.

"I had to go around and ask people, 'Can I please, please put something out?' even though we're supposed to be going quiet."

"My man­age­ment, my label were like, 'No new music until the next album comes out,'" she continued. "Then I saw the movie and I was like, 'I have to be a part of this.'"
