With so many original songs, it’s interesting to think about which one took Taylor Swift the longest and which was the quickest. Interestingly, a mega-hit from 2014’s “1989” wins the award for the shortest time to write. During Vogue’s “73 Questions With Taylor Swift” YouTube video, the singer shared that “Blank Space” took the shortest amount of to write. It’s because she had “written a lot of the lines down already in the year preceding the session.” She also shared that “All Too Well,” from 2012’s “Red” took the longest (via Insider). “It’s a really emotional song; I kept putting it down for months on end,” Swift said.

But even though “Blank Space” took up the least amount of Swift’s time, she told NME that the song “was a journey” (via People). “It was one of those things where I would be writing lines years before I ended up constructing the song,” Swift said. “I’ll be going about my daily life, and I’ll think of like, ‘Wow, so you only have two real options in relationships, like it’s going to be forever or it’s going to go down in flames.’ I’ll jot that down in my notes.”
