As Rolling Stone reported earlier this year, for the past six months, Taylor Swift has been writing the follow-up to her quadruple-platinum album Red. She recently opened up further to the Associated Press, saying it's a record that will show off a different side of her.

"How do I write these figurative diary entries in ways that I've never written them before and to a sonic backdrop that I've never explored before?"
