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 It's I Know Places, on Big Machine Radio
