What inspired Taylor to write each track on Red? While Taylor has shared so much with us, there are some things that only the Swift One knows. After writing Taylor Swift: The Platinum Edition, our biography of Taylor, we couldn't resist imagining the stories behind the songs of Red. Though each story is inspired by true events, we've made up situations and details that we hope ring true.

I've always been a liar. I've never really had the ambition to tell the truth, as bad as that sounds. It came like breathing to me. It started with the white lies when I was little. Things that didn't really matter what side of the fence they fell. 'I washed my hands.' I actually just spit and dusted them on my jeans. 'My stomach hurts, I can't go to school.' It's not like my parents cared or even bothered to notice. Their attention was solely focused on my prized older brother. Even though they didn't know, I did. That made me crave it more. It's when i got older than it became a problem. Like with friends. When it 'sliped' from my mouth that I saw Nicole's boyfriend hooking up with Erica during fourth period when I'm pretty sure they were just smoking a joint. But Nicole believed me because she had no reason not to. Something about this place, I don't wanna leave. It's different this time. Maybe that's what home is. What love is. What family is. When it pulls out honesty.
