She further commented on Swift’s well-known penchant for drawing inspiration from her personal life for her music. “She writes about all her relationships, doesn’t she? I don’t think it will come as a shock to him at all. He’s very happy in his new relationship so I’m sure he will be focusing on that,” she added.
