Taylor Swift: "Ed Sheeran chose WANEGBT as a first single"
Quote:
"I was obsessed by ..Trouble. People had to convince me about ..Never Ever," Swift says. "I thought that song was just me angrily ranting. I didn't know people would like it. I remember I played it for Ed and he said 'That's your first single, whatever mode you're in writing that song, keep going with it".
I Knew You Were Trouble saw Swift introduce dubstep to her country audience.
"We had this moment in the studio 'Can we do this? Are we allowed to do this?' but we just went for it," Swift recalls.
It has had a minor backlash in some country circles, but has also won Swift a new audience.
"I'm just happy I get to experiment." she says. "Most of my fans, if you were to look on their iPods, you'd see every possible genre of music represented in some capacity."
