“I Knew You Were Trouble (Taylor’s Version) is the fourth track of Taylor’s second re-recorded album, Red, that was produced by Taylor herself, Shellback and Christopher Rowe.
The song, lyrically, talks about falling in love with somebody while knowing that he is not good for you. Many of Taylor’s...
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me-e-e-e-e
I guess you didn't care and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me-e-e-e-e-e
[Pre-Chorus]
And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
[Chorus]
'Cause I knew you werе trouble when you walked in
So shamе on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
[Verse 2]
No apologies, he'll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning-ing-ing-ing-ing
And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see-e-e-e-e-e
[Pre-Chorus]
He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, hey
[Chorus]
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Oh)
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been (Yeah)
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh (Yeah)
Trouble, trouble, trouble (Trouble)
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
[Bridge]
And the saddest fear
Comes creepin' in
That you never loved me
Or her or anyone or anything, yeah
[Chorus]
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been (Never been)
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (I knew it right there)
So shame on me now (I knew it right there)
Flew me to places I'd never been (Woah)
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble (Oh)
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble (Trouble)
[Outro]
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble

I Knew You Were Trouble (Taylor’s Version) was produced by Christopher Rowe & Taylor Swift & Shellback.
Taylor Swift released I Knew You Were Trouble (Taylor’s Version) on Fri Nov 12 2021.
Swift told MTV:
It’s a song about kind of being frustrated with yourself because you have your heart broken and you knew when you first saw that person you saw all these red flags and you just went for it anyway. So, shame on me.
The song debuted at #46 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the week ending November 26, 2021. The original version of the song peaked at number two in 2013.
“I Knew You Were Trouble” was an idea that I got almost six months before I was scheduled to write with Max Martin, and I e-mailed him and said, “I just got this idea, I can’t wait to bring it to you. I know that we’re not writing for a few months, but I just need you to know I thought of this thing...
