I Knew You Were Trouble. (Commentary)

This is a Red album retrospective
As we look at Taylor Swift's album, Red
Which was released six years ago
And the song that I'm about to play off of Red
Is I Knew You Were Trouble
And when I talked to Taylor, I told her that I thought
This song was interesting
Because it's about love gone wrong
But Taylor took the blame for it

I Knew You Were Trouble was an idea that I got
Almost six months before I was scheduled to write with Max Martin
And I emailed him and said
I just got this idea, I can't wait to bring it to you
I know that we're not writing for a few months
But I just, I needed you to know I thought of this thing
I can't wait for you to hear it

And I have never written a song like that
Where it's like, it's not shame on you, you broke my heart
It's shame on me, you broke my heart
I saw the red flags from the first second
God, you feel so stupid
But it's got that chaotic sound in it
It's got that really bold edge to it
Where the song sounds like that feeling felt

I think this song was probably pretty relatable
Because we've all made bad decisions in love
And this is I Knew You Were Trouble
