Riff: Taylor Swift – “The Moment I Knew”

Oct 22, 2012

What do you say when tears are streaming down your face/ In front of everyone you know

from The Moment I Knew lyrics by Taylor Swift

Bizarrely relegated to bonus track status, one of Red‘s standouts is an emphatic Ryan Tedder-style power ballad where after realising that her no-show boyfriend is going to leave her looking like a gooseberry, sees Swift suffer an ‘It’s someone else’s party and I’ll cry if I want to’ breakdown.
