Celeb News: Taylor Swift explains "Clean"; might be about Harry Styles

JCON

We’re all aware by now that Taylor Swift is a genius wordsmith, able to craft lyrics that literally describe every emotional journey you’ve ever experienced. No matter what you’re dealing with (whether it’s heartbreak, happiness, or overwhelming love) there’s a Taylor Swift song that can pretty much understand your situation better than you ever did.

And with her latest album 1989, it’s no different. Especially with her emotional ballad “Clean,” an ode to that beautiful, enlightening moment in time when you finally realize you’re over someone. In her cover story for Elle’s June issue, Swift talks all about the real life inspiration behind the song — which may or may not be Harry Styles — and trying to get over heartbreak.

Quote:

“Clean” I wrote as I was walking out of Liberty in London. Someone I used to date—it hit me that I’d been in the same city as him for two weeks and I hadn’t thought about it. When it did hit me, it was like, Oh, I hope he’s doing well. And nothing else. And you know how it is when you’re going through heartbreak. A heartbroken person is unlike any other person. Their time moves at a completely different pace than ours. It’s this mental, physical, emotional ache and feeling so conflicted. Nothing distracts you from it.

If we go by the album credits, she co-wrote the song. If we go by what Imogen Heap actually said, Taylor came up with half of the song ready and wrote the other half while she worked on the production, so no!

lol, imogen heap wrote a whole blog about how impressed she was taylor came prepared and wrote the song completely herself.

imogen said she did very little in changing words around, her ideas were just back vocals and the production obviously.
