TAYLOR SWIFT RELEASES NEW SINGLE, “I BET YOU THINK ABOUT ME (TAYLOR’S VERSION) (FROM THE VAULT).”
Artist
Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift released Red (Taylor’s Version) on Friday (November 12th)—the global superstar’s remake of her 2012 record, Red. Among the songs are her “From the Vault” tunes—songs she wrote during the initial sessions but didn’t end up making the final record. One of them is her new radio single, “I Bet You Think About Me,” featuring harmonies by the reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year, Chris Stapleton.

Taylor is a tune she wrote with songstress Lori McKenna. “and I wrote this with her at her house when I was playing Foxboro Stadium on the Speak Now Tour,” she says. “We wanted this song to be like a comedic, tongue-in-cheek, funny, not caring what anyone thinks about you sort of breakup song, because there are a lot of different types of breakup songs on Red. Some of them are very sincere; some of them very stoic and heartbreaking and sad. We wanted this to be the moment like where I don’t care about anything. (laughs) And we wanted to kind of make people laugh with it, and we wanted it to be sort of a drinking song. I think that’s what it ended up being.”

Taylor will release the official music video for “I Bet You Think About Me” on Monday (November 15th). The clip is directed by actress Blake Lively (The Town, The Shallows, Gossip Girl).

Taylor Swift (IBYTAM) OC: …ended up being. :46
“The song, ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ – this is a song I wrote with Lori McKenna, who is one of my favorite singer-songwriters ever. I’d always wanted to work with her, and I wrote this with her at her house when I was playing Foxboro Stadium on the Speak Now Tour. We wanted this song to be like a comedic, tongue-in-cheek, funny, not caring what anyone thinks about you sort of breakup song, because there are a lot of different types of breakup songs on Red. Some of them are very sincere; some of them very stoic and heartbreaking and sad. We wanted this to be the moment like where I don’t care about anything. (laughs) And we wanted to kind of make people laugh with it, and we wanted it to be sort of a drinking song. I think that’s what it ended up being.”
