"I wanted to know how Jeff Bhasker makes those drum sounds," she said, fixing her eyes intently on a visitor while describing her thought process that kicked in after she'd been working for about a year on the follow-up to "Speak Now," initially once again just using her own songs. "I wanted to watch Max Martin conceptualize a pre-chorus that gets stuck in your head as much as the chorus. I wanted to see him suggest a post-hook, or a bridge that sounds like another chorus. I wanted to see how all that unfolds.... I loved watching everybody have their own process. I think moving forward that just gives me more colors to paint with."
I feel like 'The Lucky One' is the younger generations 'Lucky' by Britney, I'd be willing to bet she was inspired by Britneys song and obviously her own life for that one...we all know she loves Ms. Spears.
I really love Lucky one of my favourite Britney song
Haven't hard Red yet but for what I've heard I also think she was inspired by Britney

"The No. 1 piece of advice other artists have given me," she said, "is 'Live in the moment. Really, really understand that this is amazing.' Some of them have said, 'I let it pass me by; I didn't realize how great it was till after. And I acted really cool when it was all happening, and then afterward I realized I'd let it pass by.'
"If you really take that advice to heart, you freak out when you win an award. If you're really living in the moment, you're not bored that you won an award. I got a Grammy this year, and I really tried hard not to be as excited — not to act so excited when I won. But," she said, breaking into laughter, "I get so excited and I just was; I was really, really happy about it."
