I Know Places - Commentary

1989 is the year Taylor Swift was born
And 2014 is the year she released the album
Named after her birth year
And we have been revisiting all of the tracks on 1989
And hearing from Taylor about what she was thinking
As she was writing these songs and creating them
The next song you're going to hear about is
I Know Places

I wrote I Know Places with Ryan Tedder
And it was the first song that I wrote with him
So I brought this idea in that I had done very roughly
On piano
And sent him this voice memo of me
Singing the chorus and kind of
Babbling my way through the verse
And he liked it and wanted to work on it
It's a song about how other people
Will really ruin a relationship if they get a chance to
And how it might be the best way to go about
Starting a relationship
To keep it as secret as possible
Just because it's very fragile
And I think that this was a song that I wrote about
Sort of how covert it would have to be
In order for me to ever make something work eventually

You know, it's interesting
When you look at Taylor Swift and her current relationship
And how much she has managed to keep it out of the spotlight
It seems like she's found a way to live out this song
