"I Knew You Were Trouble"[note 1] is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, from her fourth studio album Red (2012). It was written by Swift and its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. It was released for digital download on October 9, 2012, as the third promotional single from Red; and on November 27, 2012, as the album's second pop radio single. Reflecting Swift's desire to experiment beyond her previous albums' country pop sound, "I Knew You Were Trouble" is a pop rock and dance-pop song featuring a dubstep-influenced refrain instrumented by heavy synthesizers. In the lyrics, Swift blames herself for a toxic relationship that has ended.

Contemporary critics noted "I Knew You Were Trouble", particularly the dubstep influence, for radically departing from the country sound of Swift's previous catalog. Some praised this transformation and Swift's emerging versatility, while others criticized it as superficial. "I Knew You Were Trouble" peaked within the top five on record charts and received multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the U.K. In the U.S., the single peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, spent seven weeks at number one on the Mainstream Top 40, and was certified seven times platinum. Its chart success prompted Swift to abandon country and transition to mainstream pop on her next studio album, 1989 (2014).

The single was supported by a music video directed by Anthony Mandler. Premiered on MTV on December 13, 2012, the video depicts Swift going through a tumultuous relationship with an unfaithful man. The song and its video won accolades including an MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video, a Radio Disney Music Award for Song of the Year, and the Phenomenon Award at the inaugural YouTube Music Awards. To promote the song, Swift performed on televised events including the American Music Awards, the ARIA Music Awards, and the Brit Awards. She included "I Knew You Were Trouble" on the set lists of two of her world tours, the Red Tour (2013–2014) and the 1989 World Tour (2015).

Background and production

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift released her third studio album, Speak Now, in October 2010. She wrote the album entirely by herself and co-produced it with Nathan Chapman, her longtime collaborator.[2] The album musically expands on the country pop sound of her two previous albums, with elements of radio-friendly pop crossover that had been evident on its predecessor Fearless (2008).[3] On Speak Now's follow-up, Red, Swift aimed to experiment beyond her previous albums' formulaic country pop sound. To this end, Swift approached different producers beyond her career base of Nashville, Tennessee.[2]

Although Swift wanted to experiment with various musical styles, she—as a songwriter—prioritized the lyrics over the production, striving to capture her temporary emotions.[4] She went to Los Angeles to meet with Swedish producer Max Martin, whose chart-topping pop songs had impressed Swift by "how [they] can just land a chorus".[5][6] Martin and his protégé Shellback co-wrote and produced three songs on Red—"22", "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", and "I Knew You Were Trouble"—all of which feature a synthesizer-driven pop production.[6][7] For "I Knew You Were Trouble", Swift developed the song as a ballad on piano, and asked Martin and Shellback to accompany the intense emotional sentiment with a "chaotic" sound.[2][8] The two producers infused elements of dubstep—a genre that Swift had little knowledge of—to the song, which Swift said was the boldest musical decision on Red that would make the audience "freaked out over".[8][9]

"I Knew You Were Trouble" was written by Swift, Martin, and Shellback. The song was recorded by Michael Ilbert at MXM Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, and by Sam Holland at Conway Recording Studios in Los Angeles. It was mixed by Serban Ghenea at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and mastered by Tom Coyne at Sterling Sound Studio in New York City.[10] In an interview with the Associated Press in October 2013, Swift described Martin and Shellback as "dream collaborators" because they took her ideas in a different direction, which challenged her as a songwriter.[11]

Release

To promote Red, Swift premiered one album track each week on Good Morning America, from September 24 until the album's release date of October 22, 2012, as part of a four-week release countdown.[12] "I Knew You Were Trouble" was the third song that Swift premiered, on October 8, 2012.[13][14] A day following the Good Morning America premiere, Big Machine Records released the song onto the iTunes Store for digital download as a promotional single.[15] "I Knew You Were Trouble" was released to U.S. pop radio on November 27, 2012, as an official single.[16] It was the second pop radio single from Red, following "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together".[17] A limited CD single edition featuring fan-exclusive merchandise was released through Swift's official website on December 13, 2012.[18][19] "I Knew You Were Trouble" was released as a single in the U.K. on December 10, 2012[20] and in Italy on January 11, 2013.[21]

In December 2015, when Swift had withdrawn her complete catalog from the streaming platform Spotify, the media reported that "I Knew You Were Trouble" had been re-delivered to Spotify, but its credit was mistakenly given to Welsh band Lostprophets and lead singer Ian Watkins. The song was removed from the site after three days.[22]

Swift described "I Knew You Were Trouble" as "just as chaotic as the feeling was when [she] wrote it".[23] In the lyrics, she blames herself for a frustrating relationship that has ended, because she knows she could have stayed out of it but chose to ignore the "red flags".[24] The song begins with a pop rock and dance-pop production accompanied by electric guitar and keyboard.[25][26][27] It progresses into the refrain where a dubstep wobble accompanies heavy synthesizers and Swift's distorted vocals.[25][28] Slant Magazine's Jonathan Keefe described the dubstep bass drop as a representation of "the sense of frustration that drives the song".[26] The instrumental halts at the bridge, where Swift contemplates on her past relationship, "You never loved me, or her, or anyone, or anything."[29]

Critics commented extensively on the dubstep elements of "I Knew You Were Trouble", calling the song Red's most radical sonic experimentation beyond the country pop sound of Swift's previous albums.[24][26][29] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times commented that the refrain's dubstep wobble was a "wrecking ball" that shifted the dynamic of not only "the song but also of Ms. Swift's career".[30] Randall Roberts from the Los Angeles Times remarked that while dubstep had been popularized by DJs such as Zedd and Skrillex, "I Knew You Were Trouble" generated much discussion because it introduced the genre to a wider audience of mainstream pop, which had been "sonically conservative for the past half-decade".[31] Writing for Pitchfork, Brad Nelson noted that "I Knew You Were Trouble" prioritized musical experimentation over the intricate lyrical narratives of Swift's previous country songs, which paved the way for her emerging versatility.[28]

Critical reception

"I Knew You Were Trouble" divided contemporary critics for its dubstep experimentation.[31][32] In positive reviews, Jon Caramanica from The New York Times,[30] Randall Roberts from the Los Angeles Times,[27] and Chris Willman from The Hollywood Reporter praised the song for exhibiting Swift's versatility beyond country.[29] Slant Magazine's Jonathan Keefe praised "I Knew You Were Trouble" as one of Red's best tracks because "the production is creative and contemporary in ways that are in service to Swift's songwriting".[26] In a review for Spin, Mark Hogan commented that while the dubstep-influenced refrain initially came off as unoriginal, it "ultimately gets absorbed into [Swift's] own aesthetic", resulting in a radio-friendly song that retained Swift's authentic, "sharply crafted" songwriting.[25]

On a less positive side, some critics considered the dubstep experimentation superficial. MTV's Jocelyn Vena contended that it was a deliberate move for Swift to remain relevant in an emerging electronic-dominated music scene.[33] James Reed from The Boston Globe wrote that "I Knew You Were Trouble", alongside the other tracks produced by Martin and Shellback, were unoriginal.[34] Amanda Dobbins from Vulture felt that the dubstep sound was dismissive, and the song was "yet another plucky, vowel-laden Taylor Swift breakup jam".[35] In a Red album review for The Washington Post, Allison Stewart criticized the production as "gratuitous and weird" which overshadowed Swift's lyrical narratives.[36] In defense of Swift, Roberts said that it was "unfair to criticize a 22-year-old for adapting with the times". While Roberts acknowledged that critics could dismiss the dubstep as conceit, it was justifiable for Swift—"the pop moment"—to experiment with mainstream trends.[31]

Retrospectively, Josh Kurp from Uproxx commented that "I Knew You Were Trouble" became one of the dubstep-influenced songs from its time that managed to age well.[37] Hannah Mylrae from NME considered the single a bold move for Swift, lauding it as her "most brilliantly bombastic release".[38] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian ranked the single among Swift's best: "Held together by a sparkling melody, it works as a pop song and a statement of artistic intent."[32]

Commercial performance

In the U.S., after its digital release, "I Knew You Were Trouble" debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Digital Songs with 416,000 copies sold during the first week. It was Swift's eleventh song to debut in the top ten of the Hot 100. Together with Red's lead single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", it made Swift the first artist in digital history to have two 400,000 digital sales opening weeks.[note 2] After its radio release, the single returned to the top ten on the Hot 100 and the number-one position on the Hot Digital Songs in December 2012–January 2013.[40][41] Buoyed by strong digital sales, "I Knew You Were Trouble" reached its peak at number two on the Hot 100 chart dated January 12, 2013.[17]

The single was Swift's first number-one entry on Billboard Adult Top 40.[42] Despite not being released to country radio, the single debuted and stayed for one week at number fifty-five on the Country Airplay chart in April 2013, resulted from thirty-three unsolicited plays from Los Angeles radio station KKGO.[43] "I Knew You Were Trouble" spent seven weeks atop the Mainstream Top 40, a chart monitoring pop radio in the U.S.[44] It was her second Mainstream Top 40 number one, following 2008's "Love Story", and became her single with the most weeks atop the chart.[45] The single's success on pop radio prompted Swift to abandon country and transition to pop on her next studio album, 1989 (2014), which was executive-produced by Swift and Martin.[6][9] By July 2019, "I Knew You Were Trouble" had sold 5.42 million digital copies in the U.S.[46] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the single seven times platinum for surpassing seven million units based on sales and on-demand streaming.[47]

In Canada, the single peaked at number two on the Canadian Hot 100 and was certified five times platinum by Music Canada (MC).[48] "I Knew You Were Trouble" charted in the top ten on record charts of European countries, peaking at number one in the Czech Republic,[49] number three in Denmark,[50] number four in Ireland,[51] number six in Austria[52] and Russia,[53] number eight in the Commonwealth of Independent States[54] and Switzerland,[55] number nine in Germany,[56] and number ten in Belgian Flanders[57] and Finland.[58] The song received platinum certifications in Germany and Switzerland.[59][60] In the U.K., "I Knew You Were Trouble" peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[61][62] It peaked at number three and was certified multi-platinum in Australia (six times platinum)[63] and New Zealand (double platinum).[64]

Music video

The music video for "I Knew You Were Trouble" was directed by Anthony Mandler.[65] Shot in Los Angeles over two days, the video stars Reeve Carney as Swift's love interest; Carney had starred as Peter Parker in the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.[66][67] In the video, Swift sports a pink ombré hairstyle, a ripped tee-shirt, and skinny jeans.[68][69] Rolling Stone labeled Swift's look as "punk".[70] Marie Claire commented that this "edgy" look coincided with her much publicized relationship with English singer Harry Styles, which signified her outgrowing "good girl" public image.[71]

Swift summarized the video's narrative: "I wanted to tell the story of a girl who falls into a world that's too fast for her, and suffers the consequences."[69] The video begins with Swift waking up in a desert filled with trash and debris from a concert the night before, intertwined with flashbacks of her and her love interest (Carney).[70] Swift speaks in a monologue reflecting on the past relationship, concluding: "I think that the worst part of it all wasn't losing him. It was losing me."[71] As the song begins, Swift and the love interest are seen sharing intimate moments together. This love interest exhibits behaviors that are unreliable, engaging in bar fights and making out with other girls in a rave.[72] The video concludes with Swift alone in the same desert at the beginning.[73]

Spin and Vulture noted similarities—the desert settings, the "bad boy" love interests, the partying scenes—to Lana Del Rey's 2011 video for "Ride",[65][73] while Rolling Stone compared the downward spiral of Swift's relationship to that portrayed in Rihanna's 2011 video for "We Found Love".[70] Yahoo! found the storyline "dark and distinctly mature", representing Swift's new image and artistry.[69] Melinda Newman agreed, but noticed that Swift still preserved her "squeaky clean" image because "there's not a drink or hint of drugs anywhere in sight".[68] Rachel Brodsky from MTV called the video for "I Knew You Were Trouble" a short film rather than a music video: "While all of Taylor's clips tend to carry strong, well-articulated themes, this one is particularly epic."[72] Chris Martins from Spin was less enthusiastic, calling it unoriginal.[65]

Accolades

"I Knew You Were Trouble" was one of the award-winning songs at the 2014 BMI Awards.[74] It was one of the "Most Performed Songs" awarded at the 2014 ASCAP Awards, in honor of songwriters and producers.[75] The song won Song of the Year at the 2013 Radio Disney Music Awards.[76] At the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, "I Knew You Won Trouble" won Best Female Video and was nominated for Video of the Year; it was Swift's second win in the category following "You Belong with Me in 2009.[77] It also won YouTube Phenomenon at the inaugural YouTube Music Awards in 2013.[78] The song received nominations at popularity-catered awards ceremonies including Nickelodeon Australian Kids' Choice Awards,[79] Teen Choice Awards,[80] and Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.[81]

"I Knew You Were Trouble" is a recurring song included in many of Swift's live performances outside promotion of Red. She performed the song at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013, broadcast by CBS on December 10, 2013.[94] During the promotion of her 2014 album 1989, Swift performed the song at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on September 19,[95] the We Can Survive benefit concert at the Hollywood Bowl on October 24,[96] and the Jingle Ball Tour 2014 on December 5, 2014.[97]

During the concerts of the 1989 World Tour (2015), she included an industrial rock-oriented version of "I Knew You Were Trouble" in the set lists.[98][99] An acoustic version of "I Knew You Were Trouble" was a "surprise song" Swift performed at the first concert in Manchester, England, and the concert in Perth, Australia, as part of her Reputation Stadium Tour (2018).[100] During the promotion of her 2019 album Lover, Swift again performed the song at the Wango Tango festival on June 1,[101] the Amazon Prime Day concert on July 10,[102] and the City of Lover one-off concert in Paris on September 9, 2019.[103] At the 2019 American Music Awards, where she was honored as the Artist of the Decade, Swift performed "I Knew You Were Trouble" as part of a medley of her biggest hits.[104]
