Taylor Swift, Harry Styles Romance: "Shake It Off" Singer Releases Song About One Direction Cutie Called "Out Of The Woods" – We Have The Proof!
Taylor Swift just released her new song "Out of the Woods" today and all signs point to One Direction member Harry Styles as the ex-boyfriend she sings about in the song. Much of the proof lies in the lyrics to the song, where the "Shake it Off" singer sings about certain aspects of their relationship.
One of those aspects is a necklace they both wore. The song, from her new album 1989, goes, "Your necklace hanging round my neck/ The night we couldn't quite forget/ When we decided/ To move the furniture so we could dance/ Two paper airplanes flying, flying." The two lovebirds were seen with the same paper airplane necklace in 2012. Bingo!
Another part of the song mentions an accident that they had which has to do with a snowmobile mishap the two were involved in. The lyrics go, "Remember when you hit the brakes too soon/ Twenty stitches in a hospital room/ When you started crying/ Baby, I did too." In 2012, Taylor and Harry went on a trip to Park City, Utah, where they enjoyed time on the slopes.
In a video posted on her YouTube account, the Grammy winner talked about the relationship that was the inspiration for the song, but never mentions the ex's name.
"This was a relationship where I was kind of, living day to day, wondering where it was going, if it was going to go anywhere, if it was going to end the next day," she said. "It was a relationship where you, kind of, never feel like you're standing on solid ground."
She even mentioned that the relationship caused her anxiety that came along with the pleasure.
"That kind of a feeling brings about excitement, but also extreme, extreme anxiety and, kind of, a frantic feeling of wondering, endless questions, and this song sounds exactly like that frantic feeling of anxiety and questioning," she continued.
Even though the relationship didn't last, Swift learned a lot after it was over.
"[The song] stresses that even if a relationship is breakable and fragile and full of anxiety, it doesn't mean that it isn't worthwhile, exciting, beautiful, and all the things that we look for," she said.
