Singer has a list of collaborators for ‘Red’ follow-up

 

On Saturday, Taylor Swift brought her massive stadium spectacle to New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium,  surprising 55,000 shrieking fans by inviting Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump onstage for “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" and hovering over the crowd on a platform during “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Backstage after the show, Swift toldRolling Stone she is already looking ahead to her next album, the follow-up to last year’s Red.

 

"The floodgates just opened the last couple weeks," she says of the songwriting process. “I’m getting to that point where I’m irritating to be around because I’ll be with you for half the conversation and then the second half of the conversation I’m clearly editing the second verse of whatever I’m writing in my head."

 

On Red, Swift experimented with pop collaborations, writing with hitmakers like Max Martin, Shellback and Dan Wilson. And she already has a list of artists she wants to work with on her next LP.

 

"I really loved collaborating," she says. “You work with a lot of different people and you find the people you have this dream connection with in the studio. I know those people and I know the ones I want to go back to. But I also have a really long list of the people I admire and I would really love to go and contact. So that’s kind of where that is."

 

But one thing is for sure: she’s not looking to repeat Red.

 

"I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What’s the point? It’s so overwhelming that when you’re starting a project there are such endless possibilities if you’re willing to evolve and experiment. If you’re willing to become a different version of yourself, you can really go anywhere with it. And that’s kind of where I am. The kind of the laboratory experimental stage of really catching onto a new thing that I’m liking."

 

And what is that ‘new thing’?

 

"I can’t tell you," she says with a smile.

@taylorswift13 20h: Backstage at MetLife Stadium. Trying really hard to feel like this sign in my dressing room isn't directed at me specifically.

When Bhasker’s not writing for other artists, he’s producing their ideas and helping make their personal songs come to life, something he did for Taylor Swift and her most recent album Red. “That’s the ultimate thing, to put on the production hat and realize their visions; framing what they have in an interesting way or contemporary sense,” he explains. “Taylor brought in two songs that she had completely written and played them for me perfectly on the guitar. She asked me for my thoughts, and I said they were amazing. Once we tracked her vocals and guitar, we added the musical elements I would usually add and gave it a different flavor than if she would have recorded it in Nashville with a bunch of Nashville musicians.”

 

Bhasker says their collaboration, a song called “The Lucky One” about the trappings of fame, was one of his personal favorites from last year: “I was really impressed when she brought that. That track falls into a little bit more of a Springsteen, Joni Mitchell vein, which I think shows a lot of maturity and what a good songwriter she is. The lyrics are kind of about her, it has a story, and at the end I think she’s talking about Joni Mitchell rejecting fame, even though she never mentions her. She was on tour in a hotel room alone feeling a little too famous when she wrote that. To be able to express your feelings through music, that’s what it’s all about.”

Oh hey guys.

 

Happy belated 4th of July. Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays of the year. This time around, my touring family joined me at the beach and I wanted to show you some of the pictures because you're the reason we all get to be on tour together. You've seen us all in our show costumes on the Red Tour.. Here's what we all look like in RED, white, and blue:)

 

Hope you had a lovely 4th. I love you and I'll see you on the road.

 

Taylor
