I watched Taylor Swift acoustic performances from the RED album. The first song presented in the performance was “We are never ever getting back together”.

In Billie Holiday’s version‚ the song begins with a duo play of piano and trumpet‚ which creates a strong atmosphere of how a haunting story begins. When I was hearing the beginning section‚ the rhythm made me feel like I was holding a glass of brandy and sitting at the dark corner of a distressed bar where the singer described the story of a piece of pathetic history.
