Taylor Swift has revealed she once dodged death when she was involved in a serious snowmobile accident with an ex-boyfriend.

The I Knew You Were Trouble singer admitted her life flashed before her eyes when one of her exes - rumoured to be One Direction singer Harry Styles - lost control of the mode of transport and crashed.

The pair were taken to hospital and her then-beau needing "20 stitches".

New song Out of the Woods - which features on her upcoming album 1989 - details the death-dodging incident and in it she sings: "Remember when you hit the brakes too soon/Twenty stitches in a hospital room."

The 24-year-old star spoke about the new tune and her brush with death in an interview with Rolling Stone, during which she told the publication she wasn't hurt in the incident before correcting herself, saying: "Not as hurt."

Speaking about why nobody has ever leaked information about her snowmobile accident, she added: "You know what I've found works even better than an NDA? Looking someone in the eye and saying, 'Please don't tell anyone about this'."

She continued: "People think they know the whole narrative of my life.

"I think maybe that line is there to remind people that there are really big things they don't know about."
