1.She was inspired by 80's pop saying, "Bright colors, bold chances, rebellion. The idea of that was so inspiring to me — and the idea of endless possibility was a theme in the last year of my life."
2.Taylor records her music that comes to her mind as voice memos on her phone, and three of these memos will be included on the deluxe version of 1989.
3.Taylor's hair is different on every album, and she knows this because she's organized. "I'm very organized in weird ways, and I like to look at old pictures and look at my hair and say oh that was the second album."
