In fact, Taylor said the more intense and painful a life experience is for her, the more likely she is to write about it.
The 20-year-old, who has just released her new album Speak Now, told MTV News: 'Those things are not things that I stop myself and don't write songs about, those are things that take a while to figure out how to write.'
The Mine singer, who has previously dated Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner, added: 'I write about everything that intensely affects me.
'The more intense, the more painful, the more of a shudder it is to think about, the more I know I need to write a song about it to get past it.'
