NEW YORK — Taylor Swift was in between Red Tour dates Wednesday night when she stopped by the Fragrance Foundation Awards to accept the award for Celebrity of the Year. And even though she has more than 40 dates between now and December, that doesn’t seem to be stopping the 23-year-old from making new music — or at least start thinking about it.
“I’m getting ready to start thinking about it,” she told MTV News on the red carpet, before making her way up to Toronto, Ontario, for her next show. “Because my record, it just came out and I’m trying to give my mind a second to like, ‘OK,’ because when I write a record, I write until I cannot write anymore, I drive myself crazy and then finally the album comes out and I give myself a few months off so I’m still in that time.”
In the meantime she’s “BFFing it up” with tourmate Ed Sheeran alongside newcomer Austin Mahone, who, before hitting the road with Taylor, originally asked to collaborate on a single.
“My manager called me. They are like, ‘We originally wanted to get a song with you and Taylor,’ but Taylor’s manager was like, ‘Forget the song, let’s go on tour,’ ” Mahone told MTV News earlier this spring. “I’d rather go on tour than do a song. You know, a song might come out of that.’ “
So who knows, maybe T. Swift will find the time to help the with his request … that is, if he finds the courage to talk to her about it.
“We’re still working on that,” Mahone replied sheepishly during his when asked if the songwriting opportunity had come about. “I’ve gotta, you know, ask her. I think she’ll say yes.”
