Adele was inspired by Taylor Swift for a song on her new album

Vocal sensation Adele has revealed that hearing Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' inspired one of the songs on her record-breaking new album, '25'. 

She told NPR that she just had to know who was able to bring that energy out of Swift and as soon as she had the name - Max Martin - she made sure she got into the studio to work with him because she wanted to achieve a similar thing with a riff she had written:

"I was in New York, writing Remedy with Ryan Tedder. We were having lunch, and [I Knew You Were] Trouble came on the radio — Taylor's song that she did with Max and Shellback."

"I was like, 'Who did this?' I knew it was Taylor, and I've always loved her, but this is a totally other side — like, 'I want to know who like brought that out in her.' And he said Max Martin. I was unaware that I knew who Max Martin was. I Googled him, and I was like, 'He's literally written every massive soundtrack of my life'."

"So I got my management to reach out. They came to London, and I took my guitar along and was like, 'I've got this riff,' and then 'Send My Love' happened really quickly. Max Martin, I just could hang out with him forever. He's so beautiful and lovely and funny and generous and warm and caring. He's a really amazing man."
