“I’ve heard the expression that when you’re a writer you have the toughest hours because you never stop working… every single day, all hours of the night,” says Swift, who wrote her very first song the same day that she learned to play three chords on a computer repairman’s guitar when she was 12 years old.
“I don’t really write songs in a structure. I write about my life. And it helps me to feel better about anything causing me pain or confusion. It’s a little addictive because it helps you figure things out in your life. If I think of a line that paints a picture, I’ll write it down. Some [songs] come four lines at a time and I’ll have a chorus. Other times I really have to work at it. But I have to say that my favorite songs were all written really quick.”
