It’s been exactly one whole year since Taylor Swift released 1989, her album of Harry Styles-inspired songs. Not that she’s ever admitted it but COME ON. We all know the T. She spoke at length about HE WHO WILL NOT BE NAMED and the relationship that inspired “Out of the Woods,” in a video the Grammy Museum released today. She says:
The number one feeling I felt in the whole relationship was anxiety. Because it felt very fragile, it felt very tentative. And it always felt like, ‘Okay, what’s the next road block? What’s the next thing that’s gonna deter this? How long do we have before this turns into just an awful mess and we break up? Is it a month? Is it three days? And so, you know, I think a lot of relationships can be very solid and that’s kind of what you hope for, for it to be solid and healthy but that’s not always what you get. And it doesn’t mean that it’s not special and extraordinary just to have a relationship that’s fragile and somehow meaningful in that fragility.
Then she launched into a fabulous acoustic version of “Out of the Woods”:
