Shocker! In a new interview, T-Swizzle let slip who her hit single was about — an ex-boyfriend! Plus she says how easy it was to perform the song in front of Harry! Click on to read her admission.

It’s something we pretty much assumed, that Taylor Swift penned songs about her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles. But she’s not even playing coy anymore — she flat out admits “I Knew You Were Trouble” was written about the One Direction singer, and she’s happy to let the world know it!

Taylor Swift Reveals Who Her Song Is About

“You’re balancing the analytical side of your brain,” Taylor says about performing at the BRIT Awards, “which is telling you where to go and how to go there, with the other side of your brain, which is saying ‘Feel everything you’re singing, and show it on your face. Feel everything exactly as you felt it when you wrote the song.’

Tay Tay definitely seemed to “feel everything” at the BRITs when she tore off a wedding dress to reveal sexy black lingerie. The Sunday Times magazine interviewer then asks if she was horrified to perform “I Knew You Were Trouble” in front of Harry she says, “Well, it’s not hard to access that emotion when the person the song is directed at is standing by the side of the stage watching.”

This gives new meaning to those lyrics, and they actually make a little more sense now.

Harry Styles Plays Nice At The BRITs

Even though Harry was getting a hate letter sung straight to his face by his lingerie-clad ex, he remained cordial after the BRITs. “I thought her performance was really good, she looked great,” he said. That takes a lot to hold back, since he can probably recognize that “I Knew You Were Trouble” is for him.

I think it was about all of her exes combined into one super catchy song and yes even Harry.

Hello
Well to start off, she never said that. So no one believe this…
Please if you could NOT say things that aren’t true, because things like this is causing Taylor to have more hate! Would you like it if someone gossiped about you, but didnt tell the truth? Because they could say something that would make you look bad, like this.
This could make her get hurt. Please don’t, thank you.

I think this song is about John Mayer.She was super heart broken after their relationship. And it’s obviously not about Harry since it came out before they were even dating. The ignorance of some people….

Actually, Taylor’s song “Dear John” is about John Mayer. Considering they broke up a while ago and this song came out right after Taylor and Harry broke up. I really don’t think so.

You are terrible.

How could she have written the song about Harry? It was written before they were even together, and Red was released at the very beginning of their little PR stunt. Logic, there is none.

“When we’re little girls, our parents read us storybooks. And we think that Prince Charming’s gonna come along, is gonna have a white cape on, is going to put us on a pedestal. And the bad guy wears black and we always know who that guy is. But what we don’t realize is that, in reality, the bad guy is wearing jeans. And he’s cute. And he’s charming, makes you laugh, and you believe him. You think he’s the good guy. Then, you realize he’s not.”

She said she directed the performance of the song at him, she did not say she wrote the song about him. You always report so negatively about Taylor. Why so ? Bitter much?

If you knew what Harry had done to her, you would understand. IKYWT is a great song and If she thinks he deserved it, then he should receive the punishment kindly, and how come harry hasn’t fired back at her, its because he admits he hurt her. ;D

Do you yourself know what Harry did to her? Most likely not. Taylor’s gone through more guys than most of us can count. She was the issue, and she shouldn’t be blaming it on a teenage boy. Maybe she should learn to pick more mature people to go out with or just don’t date at all. Her choice.
