'I Knew You Were Trouble' beauty Taylor Swift has explained that her writing process for new music is intense and often leaves her needing to take a few months off to recover.

Speaking to MTV about potential plans for her next studio album, Swift confessed that she isn't quite in the preliminary stage yet, but it's definitely something she is thinking about:

"I'm getting ready to start thinking about it. 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."

Meanwhile, the superstar is still on her 'Red' stadium tour of the USA and her next live date will take place on June 14 in Toronto, Canada at the Rogers Center. Watch Swift's video for 'Everything Has Changed' below:
