Taylor Swift Happy Her Hard Work Has Paid Off: “Red” Is Number One on iTunes

Only a few hours after Taylor Swift released her fourth studio album "Red" it hit number one on iTunes.

"This is a crazy feeling," Swift said at a Target listening party Monday. "I mean, these are songs that I've worked on for two years and worked so hard to make different from everything I've done before, and the fans are really getting that. I love that they are understanding that this is something completely new, and it's just a wonderful feeling."

Though Swift is happy about the success of her new album, she's surprised at the choices of her audience and said she thought their favorites would be different from what she's hearing now.

"They are all telling me their favorites," Swift said. "It's so much fun, because their favorites determine my set list for my shows on tour next year. It determines a lot, so I'm just loving seeing the iTunes [songs] chart and getting to see which ones are floating to the top, and I will sit there and go, 'I didn't expect that. That's a really personal, emotional song. I didn't expect that to be right there at the top of the iTunes chart.'"

Five of the 12 songs in her new album are listed on iTunes' Top 10 tracks but Swift says it's her Swift, it's her duet with Ed Sheeran that seem to be the people's favorite.

"The one that was on iTunes today was the duet I did with Ed Sheeran called 'Everything Has Changed,'" Swift said. "And that was so fun to see, because Ed and I were texting back and forth. We were like, '#1!,' freaking out."
