So after Carrie Underwoods country gem, Max and Shellback once again with a new surprise hit!
As a Taylor Swift fan and Max Martin fan this is a dream come true. The Taylor Swift/Dr. Luke song was also amazing. I hope there are more Max songs on the album aside from this one!

Pink,Taylor,Christina and Kesha.....a great autumn for max
I love the song!!!!
Video of how the story came to be: (at 2:17 she mentions Max):

"I was writing with Max Martin and Johan Shellback who are two of my absolute songwriting heroes, they are just absolute melodic geniuses."
Swift said the song was born while she was in the studio with songwriters Max Martin and Johan Shellback and a friend of her ex's — she declined to name names — walked in.
"He starts talking about how he's heard we were getting back together and that was not the case," Swift said. "When he leaves, Max and Johan are like, 'so what's the story behind that?' And so I start telling them the story of break up, get back together, break up, get back together, just, ugh, the worst."
"Max says, 'this is what we're writing. We're writing this song,' and I picked up the guitar and just started singing, 'we are never–'" she continued. "It just happened so fast. It was so much fun."
I really hope there is more than one song! This is so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woww , The song is great , a surprise for me :D
wow, this is a surprise! great song and I love the story behind it too.
Sounds like a Avril Lavigne/Kelly Clarkson song. This is a Max miss for me.
It's a cool song and solid production but I think the hookline isn't as catchy as usual. But nevertheless it doesn't seem to matter, people love the combination of Taylors sound and Max/Shellback input.
Quitter by Carrie Underwood was more my style.
I agree, Turnaround........:-) But I love how they left in that part with her talking in the middle......it sounds real, like the tape was running in the studio...never heard that kind of thing in any song before:-)
I actually usually hear songs from this girl despite the lack of vocal talent. When I saw this on the top of iTunes charts I decided to give it a listen and then I went oh it sounds so not country and catchy, I even wrote that in some other forum! Now I know why ;D
P!NK had a spontaneous moment in "Raise your glass" when she started the chorus by mistake. But in general it's very rare :o
Woah I didn't see this one coming! It's not bad, needs to grow on me a little yet though. Really hoping they wrote a handful of tracks during the session.
"One More Night" by Maroon 5 and "Time Machine" by Robyn also include random studio banter at the end, Max & Shellback love including that stuff. Shellback did the same with Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back" too. Helicopter sound anyone?
Love this song (Swift was never very country anyway, this is just formalising it) Reports for Billboard.com put first week sales between 500 000 and 600 000 making it one of the biggest debuts ever.
Another number 1 for max hopefully!
I remember hearing this song for the first time. I had the same impression that Khan had, because I thought it was Avril singing. So yeah, sounds like an Avril track, but it's still a good song, and definitely a smart move for Max and Shellback.
It's official! Taylor Swift's 'Never' Song Sells 623,000; Sets Female Digital Record

Max is such a legend. Well done the whole team and Taylor.
Great news!!! , Amazing another number 1 for Max!
Amazing news! wow, another no.1!
and also to have the highest one-week digital sales for a female is also great.
That's awesome, well done guys and Taylor! It's entered at #13 here in Australia, and I'm guessing it will make a decent jump upwards next week.
Video is up!

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but it looks like Dann Huff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dann_Huff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dann_Huff) is also a producer, along with Shellback and Max.

Taylor Swift is usually successful, her albums sell massively! She usually peaks high with singles as well. But of course, this Max track did her wonders since it's purely pop and not what she used to call "country".
Interesting news ;)

VERY interesting indeed.
There's a song called 'I Knew You Were Trouble' that I wrote with Max Martin and Shellback that I'm stoked about."
Thank goodness! I was worried there weren't going to be any more Max songs on this album. I'm super, super exited!
Fantastic news, that there's another Max and Shellback song
Not sure if this deserves a new thread since this one is about WANEGBT, but:
New Taylor/Max/Shellback song tomorrow!
"I Knew You Were Trouble"

OMG , sounds great! , new sound ofr her!
Amazing! Taylor sounds so different (neither good or bad way). She's always just worked with Nate Chapman. Max is a genius working with vocals!

Woww it's gonna be hits :) :) :)
I have to admit that Max has delivered this time around, I mean this doesn't sound like anything he did recently, too bad it had to be with Taylor though!
I was also very surprised, that Max and Shellback wrote
"We are never ever getting back together"!! It sounded
very American to me(surely because Taylor co-wrote the
song), but I loved it from the beginning!!
Hi Nils, welcome.
And great to have another Jörgen fan on board? :D
What's your favourite song?
And I think Taylor sounds a bit like Avril in the new songs. It's nice she has this mixture now. Country-ballads, pop-rock songs. I guess the album will be fantastic.
omg!! this song is amazing!!
We get another song by Taylor soon. She should release the full thing already :D
Special remix by Lukas Hilbert who worked and maybe got to know Max for the first time while writing and producing the Carly Rae Jepsen song.

I sounds very cool!
