But, the moments of happiness ran out as soon as January 2011 arrived. After an award ceremony, the interpreter would have been the one who ended the relationship with Swift, according to specialized media. “Jake told him it wasn't working. She is very upset and hurt.

"They say that everything is fine, which ends well / But I'm in a new hell every time you cross my mind / You said that if we had been closer in age, maybe it would have been fine / And that made me want to die", Taylor is heard singing.
In another part of the song you hear more details of the duration of the relationship with the actor: “And I was thinking while driving / At any moment, he will say that it is love / You never called it what it was / Until we were dead and we left and buried / Check the pulse and come back / Swearing it's the same / After three months in the grave.

WHAT WAS TAYLOR SWIFT'S STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL OF HIS MUSIC?
It all goes back to the artist's departure from her stamp.

According to Swift's version, when she tried to acquire the rights, Braun and his partner Borchetta demanded a clause in which she had to agree not to speak negatively about them or the negotiation, before even knowing the price they were asking.
"My legal team said this was not normal at all," Swift said. Now, despite the fact that control of the rights is in the hands of the new investment fund, Braun and Borchetta will continue to receive benefits from the exploitation of her music, which has encouraged the artist to throw herself back into the studio to record the old songs of her.
"I hope you understand that this is my only way to regain the pride I once had in listening to songs from my first six albums and also to allow my fans to listen to those albums without feelings of guilt for benefiting Scooter," Swift said.
