Taylor Swift has confirmed that she will head back into the recording studio soon.

The country-pop star's last full release came in the shape of 2012's 'Red', which was one of the best-selling albums of the year.

She has spent much of 2013 touring the record in North America, but it seems her mind is already looking ahead to her next album.

Swift told MTV's Sway that she is "always" writing, adding:

"But I think it's about to start to kick into full gear. I'm about to go into the studio. It's about to get really intense." Watch Taylor Swift perform live below:
