Guessing Game: Which Celebrities Are the Surprising Stars of Taylor Swift’s Songs?

Song: I Knew You Were Trouble (Red, 2012)

Who was it about: Harry Styles

Lyrics: “I knew his world moved too fast and burned too bright. But I just thought, how can the devil be pulling you toward someone who looks so much like an angel when he smiles at you?”

Story behind the lyrics: Oh, the drama! When Taylor Swift admitted that her bop “I Knew You Were Trouble” was all about her fling with Harry Styles, the gossip mills went into overdrive. Picture it: two pop sensations had a whirlwind of a romance that was as short-lived as it was tumultuous. After an initial breakup in Spring 2012, when Styles was seen with another model, they rekindled their romance later in the year. However, their attempt at reconnection was short-lived. A Caribbean holiday led to a bitter row, culminating in their split early in the new year. It’s a juicy tidbit that makes the song an even more tantalizing listen. Who knew heartbreak could sound so good?
