Taylor Swift: Record must be the best

Taylor Swift wants to work on her new album until she "literally [has] zero time left".

The country music singer is gearing up for her next album release. Even though her record label bosses are insisting the record is ready, Taylor isn't so sure.

"So far, I've been writing so much in the last year and the label keeps telling me, 'All right, we're finished; all right, we're satisfied; OK, this is done now.' And then I just keep writing and I keep turning it in in different versions," she told MTV News.

"I'm going to work on it until I literally have zero time left to work on it, because I'm having so much fun working on this album."

Taylor released Speak Now in 2010, and the album received wide critical acclaim. The 22-year-old created much of the album herself, but is taking a different approach this time round.

"I made my last album, Speak Now, with this idea I really wanted to make an album without writing with anyone else just because I always wanted to do that. And now I have a different approach to this record. I'm getting to work with people that I've always wanted to work with," she explained.

"I'm trying to be as much of a sponge as possible. You have to evolve and try new things and change and that's what I've loved to do with this album."

Taylor's signature musical theme is love, which resonates throughout her tracks. The beauty insists that romance will always feature in her records, purely because it's such a vast topic.

"I think that love is always going to be a huge theme in what I write about just because there are no two similar relationships, there are no two times that you feel love the same way or hurt the same way or [feel] rejection [in] the same way. It's all different and I'm fascinated by that," she said.

"I really love to go back to human interaction and the way we make each other feel. But that at 22 is different than it was at 18 or 19 when I made my last album and 16 and 17 when I made [second studio album] Fearless. As you grow, you change in the way you process emotion."
