Taylor's hobby is writing songs. She has probably written songs about Selena while in the lift to her penthouse in Nashville that are better than the songs Selena has released and performed in public.
Sadly Taylor is unlikely to ever collaborate with John Mayer again. Thankfully she will never collaborate with Kanye West, One Direction or Justin Bieber.  |
I'll be fine with Taylor writing a song or two for her, not featuring in her songs though

I find it noteworthy that Her article specifically mentioned the Beach Boys and Carly Simon. I feel like She's brought them up several times since Red was released. Maybe they're a reference point for LP5? Although IDK how that would work with Max Martin?

Taylor can write for whoever she wants but she can steer clear of duetting with another pop girl, they're all terrible.

Also Taylor is less than 2 million away from being the artist who has sold the most albums in America this Century! She will get that easy with LP5!
