Take a listen to Taylor Swift’s brand new song “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
The song is the fourth song from Taylor’s upcoming album Red. She told GMA the song is “about kind of being frustrated with yourself because here you are heartbroken and you knew when you first saw that person you saw all these red flags and you just went for it any way. Shame on me.”
The song has a little bit of a different song than we’ve heard Taylor have before. There’s some dubstep in it! Are you digging it?
Pick up your copy of the single here. Red is out October 22. Get the full track listing here.

“I Knew You Were Trouble.” Lyrics
Once upon a time
a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights
You got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me-ee-ee-ee-ee
I guess you didn’t care
and I guess I liked that
and when I fell hard
you took a step back
without me, without me, without me-ee-ee-ee-ee
And he’s long gone
when he’s next to me
and I realize
the blame is on me.
Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
so shame on me now
flew me to places I never been
till you put me down
oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in
so shame on me now
flew me to places I never been
now I’m lying on the cold hard ground.
Oh, oh, trouble trouble trouble
Oh, oh, trouble trouble trouble
No apologies
he’ll never see you cry
pretend he doesn’t know
that he’s the reason why
you’re drowning, you’re drowning, you’re drowning-ing-ing-ing-ing
And I heard you moved on
from whispers on the street
a new notch in your belt
is all I’ll ever be
and now I see, now I see, now I see-ee-ee-ee-ee
He was long gone
when he met me
and I realize
the joke is on me
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
so shame on me now
flew me to places I never been
till you put me down
oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in
so shame on me now
flew me to places I never been
now I’m lying on the cold hard ground.
Oh, oh, trouble trouble trouble
Oh, oh, trouble trouble trouble
When the saddest fear
comes creeping in
that you never loved me
or her or anyone or anything, yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
so shame on me now
flew me to places I never been
till you put me down
oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in
so shame on me now
flew me to places I never been
now I’m lying on the cold hard ground.
Oh, oh, trouble trouble trouble
Oh, oh, trouble trouble trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
trouble trouble trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
trouble trouble trouble
