Taylor says her new album helped her ‘feel better’ about a particular breakup. Jake Gyllenhaal, perhaps?
We’re used to Taylor Swift strumming songs of love and loss on her albums, but it sounds like her next one will be a little more serious. In the Feb. 2012 issue of Vogue, Taylor confesses that her latest album will tell the story of an “absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak” she dealt with. Which leads us to the obvious question: Who could she be talking about?
Most people are speculating that Taylor, 22, is singing about Jake Gyllenhaal, who she dated for a bit in 2010. But don’t forget, she was also briefly linked to Chord Overstreet, so it’s really anyone’s guess!
In her interview, Taylor also reveals her list of “red flags” telling her a relationship simply isn’t going to work. For example, if a guy is too worried about her, she know right away it’s not a match. She also doesn’t want a guy who falls in love with her for her “Wikipedia page.”
(Sorry, internet creepers!)
So who do YOU think Taylor will be crooning about on her next album? Head to the comments section with your best guess!

True Swifties will notice the title says, ‘Crash-And-Burn Heartbreak’ and one of her unreleased songs, sweet tea and God’s graces, a line in the chorus says, ‘You can crash and burn and come back someone new’ so maybe this is it everyone has been praying for Taylor to make and album of all her unreleased songs THIS MAY BE THE ALBUM!!!!

No one cares about you haters. As long as Taylor has fans that’s love her songs, she’ll always be a hit. She has freedom of speech, which also means the freedom to write and sing whatever she feels like singing about! She has more talent in her pinky than in all of you haters combined. She’ll last. You’ll see ;)

i disagree with the people that r saying Taylor should stop writing songs about ex’s and her problems. thats not all that she really writes about. for instance what about her songs “never grow up”,and “long live”,”the best day”?…. those r not love songs.yes she does have a lot of love songs but they’re really good she wants to reach out to people by them. Taylor swift is a great influence on others and i absolutely love her and strongly encourage others to listen to her songs.and im super excited for her next album

Im so sick of everyone hating on Taylor swift. She is such an inspiration to anyone really. She is talented and mature. Yes, she does write about breakups but that’s not all she writes about and she is just trying to tell her stories to the world and be a role model. I definitely respect her and can’t wait for the next album!

Ok so taylor acts a little young. SO WHAT!!!! Most of us want to be younger so we act young. We dont know what’s she’s going through, because we aren’t her. Everyone expresses themselves in different ways when we’re angry or sad. Some of us go bury ourselves in a gallon of ice cream, or cry ourselves to sleep every night. She rights to relieve the pain, and if you’ve heard her songs you know she just wants to relieve our pain too.

22 and still living singing and acting like a 16 years old
TBH her fan base is essentially composed of 16 and under 16 years old girls so of course they can deal with her “high school childish love and break up songs”

Taylor swift is a smart and witty women who knows what she is doing… If her new album is about a horrible break up she tell us who the guy that inspired it was when she is good and ready. Taylor swift writes songs that are inspiring to young girls and help them get through the hardest part if their lives.. Breakup. So get off her case and let her live her life. Like I said.. Good and ready. And thanks Jeic for that sweet comment for Taylor. I am huge swifty and appreciate that support for her

Ok so her next album is about, earth shattering, crash and burn heartbreak and don’t missed what she told that her next album is also about moving on. Never judge her first coz the album isn’t came out yet. Also if you really listening to her songs you couldn’t say that she always talk about the boys she dated or the heartbreak because not all her songs are all about that!! Do you know MEAN, LONG LIVE, SPEAK NOW, ENCHANTED. BETTER THAN REVENGE and other songs of her to name that THOSE ARE NOT ALL ABOUT THE GUYS HE DATED. C’mon guys if you really love her just wait and see THE ALBUM ISN’T OUT YET and she does have that time to write more new songs. You are way to judge but you are not thinking.
Come on TS give us something new

Yeah she said the new album was supposed to be different but where’s the different? It’s all about the same stuff her albums are always about. Is it because it’s worked for her so she’s milking it or is it because she seriously just can’t move beyond being dramatic about every boy crossing her path?

Just wait and see, Taylor will gonna bash you what’s that ‘different’ she’s talking about.

Geez, she’s dogging out another ex-bf again? I think she’ got a new victim now. Dude if you’re smart, run not walk to the nearest exit!

really taylor? really? can u make songs about somthing else besides breakups and boys. Im sorry taylor i love some of ur songs but ur songs r getting boring. (im not hating just my opinion)
Really?
Posted at 12:11 AM on January 20, 2012
Then you should discover her songs that are not about heartbreaks. The problem is you keep on whining but you never did listen to her other songs. Well if u are bored then i think just because you are stucked for what you have known..im just saying.

so basically it is goning to be just like all of her other albums so this is not news
Lol
Posted at 12:21 AM on January 20, 2012
SO BASICALLY you don’t own any of her albums coz you don’t know what you’re saying.
To be honest
Posted at 1:16 PM on January 17, 2012
It starts to annoy me, I used to like some of her songs but damn can she talk about somethin else than boys and break-up? I mean she’s seriously picturing herself as a “manizer”.
And for this vogue covershoot I’m also disapointed; they tried to make her look like Brigitte bardot( nobody can replace brigitte by the way) and not herself. Why are they always obliged to “emulate” someone. That sucks, and this cover will flop like those she did before cause she was named the worst cover mag last year and there is no way it won’t change. Her life annoys people and only interest kids and girls under 16 who don’t pay to have a version of her covers mags.
Duh
Posted at 12:18 AM on January 20, 2012
TO BE HONEST you are just like hellokitty2142 coz NOT ALL HER SONGS ARE ABOUT GUYS and HEARTBREAK. C’mon DISCOVER!

tho i don’t like her, i’m starting to worry about where she’s headed. she doesn’t seem to be able to connect with anybody in a real way. i don’t know if that’s b/c she thinks she’s better than EVERYBODY, or if the ‘better than’ act is just something she does out of insecurity. either way, for her age, she really doesn’t seem to have ever had any real lasting relationship and is always sort of talking in never never land types of terms. i mean, is this jonas thing her most serious relationship (cuz gyllenthal could NOT have been)? it was just a few months or so, and she was 18. is that it? i know it’s not easy in her life to connect or find someone whose schedule/life works with hers, but… others seem to find a way to make it happen.

it’s funny because she acts all innocent but if you think about it, shes dated quite a few guys, and the even funnier part is that most of them break up with her (her songs are pretty obvious) wonder why…

No, it’s not “really anyone’s guess”. Jake is the only person she’s dated in over a year. She NEVER dated Chord. They went to a hockey game. Once.

Awful. Have u ever been to her concert???? I’m guessing NOT. She’s got an amazing soul and she is brave for being able to tell everyone her deepest thoughts….. Have YOU ever expressed yourself truly 100%????? I’m guessing NO. So don’t talk if you’ve never been there.

Taylor Swift is an amazing singer, and not all of her songs are about the same things, reading the comments I’d say that really? why are you bad mouthing her? Not all of her songs are about guys like The Best Day, Long Live. as examples. I hope that she does it about unreleased songs, fingers are hugely crossed right now!! <3
