Taylor Swift will always write songs about past relationships, so get over it

  • February 12, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Taylor Swift sitting downTaylor Swift isn't about to stop writing songs about her ex-boy­friends, 'FYI'.

Having a chat about boys with Elle magazine (as quoted here) the 'Christmas Must Be Something More' chanteuse defended her penchant for pouring her heart out using the following words:

"To me, it's just writing songs the way I always have. It's me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn't under­stand, writing a song, and under­stand­ing it better."

"If people want to dissect the lyrics, that's their right," she continued, "but it's all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It's just something I do to feel better."

Like having a wank.
