Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
Taylor Swift has written the anthem of all anthems for getting over an ex. “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” is a declaration to moving on from a former flame for good and it was based on her short-lived relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal. It served as the lead single from her 2012 “Red” album and sold over five million copies. Swift once again used a love gone wrong for another song when she wrote “Dear John,” following her breakup with fellow singer John Mayer.
