Swift's Red album drops October 22. The first single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," is already climbing the Billboard Hot 100 and is on track to break sales and download records.
"When I was coming up with the name for this album, it seemed crazy because it was really simple," schnell, swift said. "I wrote a song called 'Red,' and thinking about what that song means to me and all the different emotions on this album they're all pretty much about the tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships I've experienced in the last two years and all those emotions fanning from intense love, intense frustration, intense jealousy, confusion, all of that in my mind, all those emotions are red. There's nothing in between, there's nothing beige about those feelings and so I called my record that."
