I never read one hateful thing said about me by some 12 year old. So I got to live an actual life. And I've kept that mentality. Just because there's a hurricane going on around you doesn't mean you have to open the window and look at it. -- Taylor Swift
Never never never compare yourself to the beautiful girls. There's always someone gorgeous who will make you feel like you're not. It's a total confidence buster! -- Taylor Swift
I don't compete with other people in the industry, I compete with myself. -- Taylor Swift
With you I'd dance in the rain in my best dress, fearless -- Taylor Swift
The reality is what you wear matters. If you're a singer and on TV and in the living room of some 12-year-old girl, she's watching what you're wearing and saying and doing ... That's what little girls do, so there is a big responsibility and I take it very seriously. -- Taylor Swift
When I meet my fans, it's not like meeting a stranger. It's like saying hello to someone that I already know. -- Taylor Swift
Always consider giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game ... And if it's a game, then you need to win. -- Taylor Swift
Dating or finding someone is the last thing on my mind. -- Taylor Swift
Ever since I was a little kid I've been so glad to be from America and so glad to live here. -- Taylor Swift
When you walk out onstage in front of 65,000 people, it can bring you to tears. -- Taylor Swift
When we fall in love and we have a first kiss with someone, we never ever imagine that someday that could be a last kiss. -- Taylor Swift
I've never been fascinated by the party lifestyle. Penciling in a night to get wasted is not something I want to do. -- Taylor Swift
I've learned that you can't predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card. -- Taylor Swift
I'm the girl who still believes prince charming exists somewhere out there. -- Taylor Swift
We wrote a song, while sitting on a trampoline & we loved it so much that we ended up recording it as a duet -- Taylor Swift
Being fearless doesn't mean you have no fears. it means you're strong enough to face them -- Taylor Swift
We don't wish for the easy stuff. We wish for big things. Things that are ambitious, out of reach. -- Taylor Swift
I fought the idea of having security for a very long time, because I really value normalcy. I really do. I like to be able to take a drive by myself. -- Taylor Swift
His sister's beautiful,
He has his father's eyes,
But if you asked me if I love him
I'd Lie -- Taylor Swift
I know that if things hadn't gone the way they did then I wouldn't be where I am now. -- Taylor Swift
If you go too far down the rabbit-hole of what people think about you, it can change everything about who you are -- Taylor Swift
This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change. -- Taylor Swift
Love is one of those things that should be so simple. You don't need to think about it and over analyze it when it's good. -- Taylor Swift
I've had a few semi-toxic relationships, but it's not what I look for when I'm seeing someone. -- Taylor Swift
I want to make people feel things when they hear my music I want to give a song to someone who is going through a break up, I want to give a song to someone who loves someone and can't tell them. A song for someone who has just fallen in love and a song for just people who are living their lives. -- Taylor Swift
I've been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down. -- Taylor Swift
I know that a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania is about the most random place for a country singer to come from, but I had an awesome childhood. -- Taylor Swift
The trials and tribulations in your life make you stronger. -- Taylor Swift
Heartbreak is the national anthem. We sing it proudly. -- Taylor Swift
Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music. -- Taylor Swift
Be careful with what you say. A girl remembers everything. -- Taylor Swift
I wouldn't wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life, so I don't think it's necessary to wear that stuff in photo shoots. -- Taylor Swift
When you say, 'I spent my summers at the Jersey Shore,' people always say, 'Oh, really?' They think of the TV show. So I just say, 'A cute little harbor town in New Jersey.' -- Taylor Swift
If I looked at every other girl in the entertainment industry as competition, my life would be really lonely. I wouldn't have some of the coolest friends that I'm so glad I've gotten to know. -- Taylor Swift
The things that make me cry are when the people I love have gone through pain and I've seen it. -- Taylor Swift
And you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you -- Taylor Swift
The truth of it is that every singer out there with songs on the radio is raising the next generation, so make your words count. -- Taylor Swift
When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes. -- Taylor Swift
There are so many emotions that you're feeling, you can get stifled by them if you're feeling them all at once. What I try to do is take one moment - one simple, simple feeling - and expand it into three-and-a-half minutes. -- Taylor Swift
We mistake our mistakes as being damaged. -- Taylor Swift
I don't think there's an option for me to fall in love slowly or at medium speed. I either do, or I don't. -- Taylor Swift
You have to be happy with who you are and the choices you make. If you don't like yourself, you'll never be truly happy. -- Taylor Swift
I grew up on a Christmas tree farm with all this space to run around, and the [freedom] to be a crazy kid with tangled hair. -- Taylor Swift
I grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Reading, PA. It was the most magical fun childhood. We had grape arbours and we would make jam with my mom. My dad would go to work and he'd come home. He'd clean out stalls and fix split-row fences. -- Taylor Swift
It was an actual Christmas tree farm. We had, like, 15 acres. It was really fun as a kid. I also spent my summers at the Jersey Shore, on the bay in Stone Harbor. I walked everywhere barefoot. It was just the most amazing, magical way to grow up. -- Taylor Swift
I've always just wished that maybe someday people would care about the words that I wrote. -- Taylor Swift
In life and love, you learn that there comes a time to let go and move on. -- Taylor Swift
Seems like the only one who doesn't see your beauty is the face in the mirror looking back at you. -- Taylor Swift
I don't really think you can ever stop making new friends or learning about as many new things as possible. -- Taylor Swift
You realize the bad guy isn't wearing a black cape or easy to spot; he's funny, makes you laugh, and has perfect hair. -- Taylor Swift
I don't have any interest in going out to clubs. I love people, and I love socializing, I just don't have any interest in being drunk. -- Taylor Swift
I have so many playlists full of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown. -- Taylor Swift
When I was a teenager I felt like we were always being stereotyped as being really intense and dramatic and passionate and hopelessly romantic and excitable, now in retrospect I think I need to let you know those things are amazing. I hope you never lose those things. -- Taylor Swift
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze.
We're singing in the car, getting lost Upstate.
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place,
And I can picture it after all these days. -- Taylor Swift
When you run into someone that you used to be in love with, all that you have is drama, desperation and not know what to do. -- Taylor Swift
I've been a huge fan of Chris Martin forever; it'd be awesome to work with him. He's really kind, and he's been really encouraging when we've met. -- Taylor Swift
I like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage. -- Taylor Swift
It's the most maddening, beautiful, magical, horrible, painful, wonderful joyous thing in the world, love -- Taylor Swift
Don't worry. You may think you'll never get over it. But you also thought it would last forever. -- Taylor Swift
Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. -- Taylor Swift
I never want to end up being a self-centered, vain human being. -- Taylor Swift
My dad is a Chatty Cathy, the social butterfly; friendly; knows everybody in the whole world by six degrees; tells me that every performance is the greatest he's ever seen, every new outfit is the coolest. Constant cheerleader. -- Taylor Swift
I'm a girls' girl. I have guy friends, but the problem with having guy friends is, like, I always get linked to them, and they'll end up in a slideshow of people I've apparently dated on the Internet. -- Taylor Swift
I just drove past Brad Paisley jogging down the side of the road. I rolled down the window and screamed RUN FORREST RUN. I live for ... .. little moments ... ..like that. -- Taylor Swift
I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain -- Taylor Swift
Sometimes when relationships end, you write an e-mail and say everything you wish you said. Sometimes you don't push send. -- Taylor Swift
I think I've developed this pattern of running away when it comes time to fall in love and stay in a relationship. -- Taylor Swift
There's always that seventh-grade girl who looks like she's 25. And you're like, How do you do it? How do you do it, Sarah Jaxheimer?Why is your hair always so shiny?! -- Taylor Swift
The difference between a good song and a great song is a good song is one that you know, you'll put on in your car or you'll dance to it. But I think a great song you'll cry to it, or you get chills. I think a great song says how you feel better than you could. -- Taylor Swift
If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it's cool that happens. -- Taylor Swift
But then you make eye contact with someone across the room and it clicks and you're right there in love again. -- Taylor Swift
To truly love is to have the courage to walk away and let the other person who wishes to be free go no matter how much it hurts. -- Taylor Swift
Books train your mind to imagination to think big. -- Taylor Swift
She's like a sister. People say we're such opposites, but that's what makes us such good friends. She's incredibly blunt. I love that about her. If some guy has said or done something to me she doesn't like, she'll grab my cell phone and say, 'I'm deleting his number. -- Taylor Swift
There's a general rule that I always go by, and it's that you fall for who you fall for. Whatever small issue you get hung up on, whether it's because they're shorter than you, younger than you or they live far away - if you really are crazy about someone, none of that matters. -- Taylor Swift
You can spend so much time wanting someone and they can have absolutely no idea. -- Taylor Swift
you don't know me, but i bet you want to. -- Taylor Swift
When I figured out how to work my grill, it was quite a moment. I discovered that summer is a completely different experience when you know how to grill. -- Taylor Swift
I think that when you're making your way up in the music industry, you have all these heroes and the reasons why they are your heroes. As soon as you get into the industry, your guidelines change a little bit. For me, my heroes now are great people first and great artists second. -- Taylor Swift
It's a love story, baby, just say, Yes. -- Taylor Swift
I still have mixed feelings about what growing up is - this thing that happens to everyone, so I've heard. -- Taylor Swift
I got to play Kim in Bye Bye Birdie, Sandy in Grease, and Maria in The Sound of Music. And it was so much fun for me, but the thing that I looked forward to the most was at the cast parties. After the shows they had karaoke machines set up and that's when I could sing country music. -- Taylor Swift
Sometimes the lines in a song are lines you wish you could text-message somebody in real life, -- Taylor Swift
When you say 'control freak' and 'OCD' and 'organized,' that suggests someone who's cold in nature, and I'm just not. Like, I'm really open when it comes to letting people in. But I just like my house to be neat, and I don't like to make big messes that would hurt people. -- Taylor Swift
When I get on a roll with something, it's really hard for me to put it down unfinished. -- Taylor Swift
I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines. -- Taylor Swift
I think that personality traits that come through when somebody is really sincere is what makes them beautiful. -- Taylor Swift
I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What's the point? -- Taylor Swift
Misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born. So to me, feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it's just basically another word for equality. -- Taylor Swift
You can write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day. -- Taylor Swift
I think that it's fearless to fall for your best friend, even though he's in love with someone else. -- Taylor Swift
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name; it's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change. -- Taylor Swift
Love is the one wild card. -- Taylor Swift
I never expected anything to be given to me. -- Taylor Swift
When you strategize a relationship too much, like, "We're not gonna be public about it, and we're gonna say this in interviews," when you think it all out, I think that complicates the relationship and I think that's unfair for the relationship. -- Taylor Swift
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around ... -- Taylor Swift
Everybody has a list of 100 things they would like to change about themselves. But it's all about focusing on the good things. -- Taylor Swift
I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever - wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails. -- Taylor Swift
You'll have new Septembers. -- Taylor Swift
I have this fear of falling in front of large groups of people. That's why I tend not to wear heels. -- Taylor Swift
Once you think about it, aren't the people who are living their lives without worrying about other people's opinions having more fun than those judging them? -- Taylor Swift
Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know, or pushing people down to get you where you want to go ... soon your gonna find stealing other people toys on the playground won't make you many friends ... -- Taylor Swift
I get so excited when a song I wrote that's very personal to me goes No. 1 and I look down and see people singing the words back to me. -- Taylor Swift
As you experience love and relationships, you start to realize that love tends to end in a very painful goodbye. -- Taylor Swift
I began absolutely non-stop tormenting my parents, begging them on a daily basis to move there. -- Taylor Swift
When I was in high school, I remember seeing girls crying in the bathroom every Monday about what they did that weekend. I never wanted to be that girl crying in the bathroom. -- Taylor Swift
You realize who you're in love with is fading fast. You don't know what to do, but in that period time moves so slowly. -- Taylor Swift
Getting a great idea with song writing is a lot like love. You don't know why this one is different, but it is. You don't know why this one is better, but it is. It sticks in your head, and you can't stop thinking about it. -- Taylor Swift
I love dresses, and I've definitely thought about designing them someday. I just want to make sure that I wait until the time is perfect and I can do it right. -- Taylor Swift
I could make the bad guys good for a weekend. -- Taylor Swift
People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like - that's a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real-estate market just to freak you out so you leave me. -- Taylor Swift
I don't know how to have a normal relationship because I try to act normal and love from a normal place and live a normal life, but there is sort of an abnormal magnifying glass, like telescope lens, on everything that happens. -- Taylor Swift
I was the girl who didn't get invited to parties. -- Taylor Swift
When I was 9 or 10, I used to get all the lead roles because I was the tallest person. But my interest in music soon drew me to country music. I was infatuated with the sound, with the storytelling. I could relate to it. I can't really tell you why. With me, it was just instinctual. -- Taylor Swift
Music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment. -- Taylor Swift
Love always ends differently and it always begins differently - especially with me. -- Taylor Swift
Sometimes the person you'd take a bullet for is the person behind the trigger. -- Taylor Swift
Never Change F0r Someone! -- Taylor Swift
The cool thing about reading is that when you read a short story or you read something that takes your mind and expands where your thoughts can go, that's powerful. -- Taylor Swift
No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind. -- Taylor Swift
All I ever do is learn from my mistakes so I don't make the same ones again. Then I make new ones. -- Taylor Swift
I'd rather be at home and eat ice cream than go out and get wasted. -- Taylor Swift
I've found that men I've dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I've found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren't competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been ... challenging. -- Taylor Swift
I have an obsession with knowing the answers to things. When I don't know what happened, it just bothers me, gets under my skin, and I need to write about it. -- Taylor Swift
My fans don't feel like I hold anything back from them. They know whatever I'm going through now, they'll hear about it on a record someday. They'll hear the real story. There's a little bit of lag time. It's not as instant as going on a gossip blog. But it's much more accurate. -- Taylor Swift
Be that strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst, be that fearless girl, the one who would dare to do anything, be that independent girl who didn't need a man; be that girl who never backed down. -- Taylor Swift
I think people inspire me the most. If I meet a person who is incredibly complex, and all of a sudden, I start thinking in rhymes, that person could be a muse. -- Taylor Swift
Other women who are killing it should motivate you, thrill you, challenge you and inspire you. -- Taylor Swift
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes -- Taylor Swift
Songs are my diaries; they always have been. You have to put your trust in everyone because putting down those real, personal details and thoughts that make a song authentic also opens you right up. I am constantly misunderstood; a lot of people just don't get me. -- Taylor Swift
I want to write a song for someone who has just fallen in love or someone single and living their live. -- Taylor Swift
I really believe we in the music industry can work together to find a way to bond technology with integrity and just really hope we can teach the younger generation the value of investment in music rather than the ephemeral consumption of it. -- Taylor Swift
My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories. -- Taylor Swift
I've never gotten thick skin. If you close yourself off and you get this protective armor, there is a price you pay with that - of not feeling. And feeling is important when you are a songwriter. -- Taylor Swift
If there's a pregnancy rumor, people will find out it's not true when you wind up not being pregnant, like nine months from now, and if there's a house rumor, they'll find out it's not true when you are actively not ever spotted at that house. -- Taylor Swift
Most of us fear reaching the end of our life regretting moments when we didn't speak up, say I love you, or say I'm sorry. -- Taylor Swift
Talk to the man with the reasons why. -- Taylor Swift
I never give advice unless someone asks me for it. One thing I've learned, and possibly the only advice I have to give, is to not be that person giving out unsolicited advice based on your own personal experience. -- Taylor Swift
I'm pretty pale. In high school I was insecure and thought it'd be cool to go to a tanning bed. Now I just let it look the way it looks. -- Taylor Swift
I have to practice to be good at guitar. I have to write 100 songs before you write the first good one. -- Taylor Swift
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time -- Taylor Swift
I've wanted one thing for me whole life and I'm not going to be that girl who wants one thing her whole life then gets it and complains. -- Taylor Swift
, and they could name a handful. -- Taylor Swift
The worst possible way a relationship can end is when somebody cheats on somebody else. -- Taylor Swift
I've made sure that in any situation and with any record label, I'm allowed to write my own music. -- Taylor Swift
I'm not opposed to falling in love -- Taylor Swift
The battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down, if you said you'd rather love than fight. -- Taylor Swift
If I'm gonna write songs about my exes, they can write songs about me. That's how it works. -- Taylor Swift
I have so many indie bands on my iPod. What I don't really understand is the attitude that if a band is unknown, they're good, and if they get fans, then you move on to the next band. -- Taylor Swift
I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart. -- Taylor Swift
When we meet someone and we fall in love we don't ever imagine that it's going to end. -- Taylor Swift
I don't drink much alcohol. If it doesn't taste like candy or sparkles, I usually don't drink it. -- Taylor Swift
My imagination is a twisted place. -- Taylor Swift
Happy,Free,Confused,Lonley at the same time -- Taylor Swift
There are two different categories of love. The first category is called a fairytale. The second category of love is called just another lesson -- Taylor Swift
People put you down because you're above them. -- Taylor Swift
She lost him, but she found herself, and somehow, that was everything. -- Taylor Swift
This is the last time I'm asking you this, put my name at the top of your lsit. This is the last time I'm asking you why. You break my heart in the blink of an eye. -- Taylor Swift
Don't find love, let it find you. It's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall, you just do. -- Taylor Swift
Love has absolutely no pattern, and no one will ever be perfect. -- Taylor Swift
Letting go is fearless. Then, moving on and being alright, that's fearless too. -- Taylor Swift
I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground -- Taylor Swift
What makes me happy is just curling up in with my mom in her bed and watching a marathon of 'CSI' and 'Grey's Anatomy' episodes with pints of ice cream. -- Taylor Swift
Nothing ruins your day more than getting a bad review. -- Taylor Swift
Some days I totally appreciate everything that's happening to me, and some days I feel everyone's waiting for me to mess up. -- Taylor Swift
Your success, your life, your happiness. Don't let mean people bring that down. -- Taylor Swift
You get to a point where it's like you can't really do anything right, and people will pick on you for whatever decisions you make, so I just try and take no notice and get on with my music. -- Taylor Swift
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time. As far as I'm concerned you're just another picture to burn. -- Taylor Swift
I leave the genre labeling to other people. I really do. If I were to think too hard about it, that would stifle you creatively. If you think too hard about who other people want you to be as an artist, it stops you from being who you want to be as an artist. -- Taylor Swift
A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums. -- Taylor Swift
For Christmas my family bought me a new Scrabble board (the one that swivels!) and cat treats. Am I eighty five? -- Taylor Swift
Hearing a crowd scream is the coolest sound in the world. It can motivate me to do anything. -- Taylor Swift
Part of me feels you can't say you were truly in love if it didn't last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that's when I'll know it's real - because it lasted. -- Taylor Swift
I didn't know what a stockbroker was when I was eight, but I would just tell everybody that's what I was going to be. -- Taylor Swift
Tonight I wanna dance for all that we've been through. But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancin with you. Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room. But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancin with you. -- Taylor Swift
I created my MySpace page in eighth grade, because that's how all my friends talked to each other, so I made one, too. Then, all of a sudden, my friends started putting my songs on their profiles, and then their relatives, their friends in different states did. -- Taylor Swift
I base a lot of decisions on my gut, and going with an independent label was a good one. -- Taylor Swift
I want someone to say, 'I love you and that's all I really know.' That's the girly girl in me. -- Taylor Swift
You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for. -- Taylor Swift
Who you are is not where you've been,
who you are is not what you did,
you're still an innocent.. -- Taylor Swift
I've come to a wonderful realization that is fascinating: I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love. No one does! -- Taylor Swift
Sparks Fly whenever you smile! -- Taylor Swift
I see sparks fly whenever you smile -- Taylor Swift
People haven't always been there for me but music always has. -- Taylor Swift
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again. -- Taylor Swift
You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that's great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future. -- Taylor Swift
I always wanted to know, and I always used to daydream, about what it would be like to stand on a really big stage and sing songs for a lot of people, songs that I had written ... Daydreaming was kind of my No. 1 thing when I was little, because I didn't have much of a social life going on. -- Taylor Swift
I haven't had that one great love, which is good. I don't want that to be in the past, I want it to be in the future. -- Taylor Swift
You will always be criticized and teased and bullied for things that make you different, but usually those things will be what set you apart. The things that set you apart from the pack, the things that you once thought were your weaknesses will someday become your strengths. -- Taylor Swift
There are certain people who elicit a really passionate response. It's crazy. That's my Alexander Wang theory. -- Taylor Swift
I love Wiz Khalifa. -- Taylor Swift
I think Kenny Chesney or Garth Brooks would be the coolest duet partners. I look up to them so much for their work ethics. -- Taylor Swift
One of my goals from really early on was that if I was ever fortunate enough to be successful in music, I would want to stay the same person and the same songwriter. -- Taylor Swift
One thing I've tried to never do is make wish lists. I try to have a very steppingstone mentality about this whole thing, where as soon as you make one step you visualize the next step, not five steps ahead. -- Taylor Swift
You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and that eventually you'll find your own happily ever after. -- Taylor Swift
I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger. -- Taylor Swift
There's no regimen. There's no personal trainer. I love to go hiking because it's an experience. If I need to gain stamina for a tour, I will run every single night on the treadmill, but I don't necessarily like being at the gym. -- Taylor Swift
I still love sparkles and grocery shopping and really old cats that are only nice to you half the time. I still love writing in my journal and wearing dresses all the time and staring at chandeliers. -- Taylor Swift
The longer you're with the wrong person, you could be completely overlooking the chance to meet the right person. -- Taylor Swift
But I miss screamin' and fightin' and kissin' in the rain and it's 2 a.m. and I'm cursin' your name. You're so in love the you act insane, and that's the way I loved you. -- Taylor Swift
Be good to people. Be good to every single person you come into contact with. My best friends are great musicians. But more than that, they're great people. -- Taylor Swift
I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief. -- Taylor Swift
On 'Grey's Anatomy' I wouldn't care what I was playing - I would play a corpse, 'cause I love it that much. It is deep true love, and it will never die. -- Taylor Swift
I've never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I've wanted the music to do that. -- Taylor Swift
As I grow up, the lessons I learn in love and relationships and how we treat each other are hopefully maturing - hopefully. -- Taylor Swift
When I am talking to people who I feel don't like me or are mean, I get really shy, and I kind of curl up personality wise. -- Taylor Swift
When we're trying to move on, the moments we go back to aren't dull ones. They're the big moments that meant everything. -- Taylor Swift
I always thought I'd be really fun to sing a song with Miley. -- Taylor Swift
I still love writing in my journal and wearing sparkly dresses and looking at old chandeliers. -- Taylor Swift
Being excited about stuff on a daily basis, I'm so excited by it. -- Taylor Swift
I don't really know that much about love, it turns out. -- Taylor Swift
I was in a love that was wonderful until it was terrible, and both people got hurt from it. -- Taylor Swift
So casually cruel in the name of being honest -- Taylor Swift
I've gotten into this nasty habit of running away from love, but maybe one day I can find the exception to that. -- Taylor Swift
We need music the most when we're feeling things really intensely. I think the most intense times in your life are when you're either falling in love or losing it -- Taylor Swift
If somebody hurts you, it's okay to cry a river, just remember to build a bridge and get over it. -- Taylor Swift
Your feelings so are important to write down, to capture, and to remember because today you're heartbroken, but tomorrow you'll be in love again. -- Taylor Swift
I think I feel in love with words before I feel in love with music. -- Taylor Swift
'Love Story' is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn't like him. All of them! -- Taylor Swift
My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I'm concerned, love is absolutely everything. -- Taylor Swift
So to you, or anyone else who has spent four minutes on me in some way
listening to just one song, or watching one of my videos ... .Thank you. I love you like I love sparkles and having the last word. And that's real love. -- Taylor Swift
I like to write about love and love lost because I feel like there are so many different subcategories of emotions that you can possibly delve into. -- Taylor Swift
We leave a piece of ourselves and our magic in a person that we fall in love with. -- Taylor Swift
'Love Story' I wrote on my bedroom floor in about 20 minutes. -- Taylor Swift
I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream -- Taylor Swift
I have to believe in fairy tales and I have to believe in love. -- Taylor Swift
No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. -- Taylor Swift
Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love. -- Taylor Swift
I don't think it should be a big deal who you love. -- Taylor Swift
The rest of the world was black and white, But we were in screaming color -- Taylor Swift
I love Karlie Kloss. I want to bake cookies with her! -- Taylor Swift
Falling in love isn't as easy as it seems when you've seen love crash and burn right in front of your eyes. -- Taylor Swift
I love to write honest songs that name real people, then get up onstage and live out those emotions in front of 15,000 people. -- Taylor Swift
Be yourself and the right people will love you. -- Taylor Swift
I think that you can love people without it being the great love. -- Taylor Swift
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed. -- Taylor Swift
Wow I can't belive I won,
This is awesome,
Don't trip and fall,
I'm gonna get to thank the fans,
This is so cool,
Oh kany'e west is here,
Cool haircut,
What are ya doing there ...
Ouch ...
I guess I'm not gonna get to thank the fans -- Taylor Swift
I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy. -- Taylor Swift
I don't drink to get drunk. That's just not cute. -- Taylor Swift
I wouldn't want to date a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control. -- Taylor Swift
Love will find you when you least expect it. -- Taylor Swift
I just wanna know you
Know you
Know you -- Taylor Swift
Fixing your heartbreak by getting into another relationship is not the way to live your life - you need to live it on your terms for a while. -- Taylor Swift
We all dream about love, want to be in love, and have been hurt by love. -- Taylor Swift
The past is the past. Don't let it kill you. -- Taylor Swift
It is always more difficult to fight against faith than to fight against knowledge. -- Taylor Swift
I think you really have to tap into your sense of humor in order to survive. -- Taylor Swift
I can say I'd honestly rather be happy than have 30 to 40 songs that I've written about these thrilling, exciting, horrible, unhappy times. -- Taylor Swift
Living alone, you can do so many fantastic things I've learned. You can like, walk around and have so many conversations with yourself and sing your thoughts. I think I'm the only one that does that ... -- Taylor Swift
I only sing in my church choir. Except the other night, I stole the show at karaoke night. -- Taylor Swift
I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show. -- Taylor Swift
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out -- Taylor Swift
Never let a boy be your life. They can live in your world, but never make a guy your world. -- Taylor Swift
Katie Couric is one of my favorite people. -- Taylor Swift
When you're 25 or 30, you know, you can't wear lime-green eye shadow anymore. -- Taylor Swift
I cap myself when I shop; I don't like to spend extravagant amounts on clothes. But, I do get lent clothes for events, it's scary to wear something so expensive, but I feel really pampered. -- Taylor Swift
I often get ideas for songs on the tour bus at odd times. Like at 6am when no one is around, I'd just write. -- Taylor Swift
I have sworn to only live free. Even if I find bitter the taste of death, I don't want to die humiliated or deceived. -- Taylor Swift
I could get drunk and run around Nashville naked. But I won't because I want to set a good example for my fans. I think they deserve to have a role model. -- Taylor Swift
I love trying to beat what I've done so far. -- Taylor Swift
I don't have a type. I don't have a specific kind of human being. It's just kind of an X-factor of sorts. Everybody I've ever dated has been a case-by-case situation. -- Taylor Swift
Went to get coffee today-opened my change purse. Sea shells fell out. Barista goes "Sorry, we only take cash or credit." So there's that. -- Taylor Swift
There is nothing wrong with avoiding people who hurt you. -- Taylor Swift
My parents moved across the country so I could pursue a dream. -- Taylor Swift
Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for. -- Taylor Swift
I like things you can touch and things you can keep, because every bit of communication we have is ephemeral in nature. You can just delete an e-mail and it's like it was never there. -- Taylor Swift
I put out one album one week, and I'm already worried about the next one. I feel a lot of emotion throughout the course of a day. But not to the point where you need to be worried about me. -- Taylor Swift
Just keep doing 'you', and being who you are and doing what feels natural to you. -- Taylor Swift
I've always loved Def Leppard, ever since I was little. -- Taylor Swift
Every time i try and wink at someone, I mess it up and end up scaring people. -- Taylor Swift
I don't believe in endorsing a product that you don't want to endorse. -- Taylor Swift
I've been singing Shakira songs in front of my bathroom mirror into my hairbrush forever. It's like a daily routine. -- Taylor Swift
Let go of people who bring you down, and surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you. -- Taylor Swift
And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now. -- Taylor Swift
Being a powerful woman who also exhibits great warmth is an incredible feat because people think that to be powerful you have to be cold, and you don't. -- Taylor Swift
Just because something is over doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly beautiful. Because another lesson I've learned is not all stories have a happy ending and you have to learn how to deal with that. -- Taylor Swift
Never compare yourself to beautiful girls. -- Taylor Swift
Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you're crazy. -- Taylor Swift
You need to be happy with yourself or you'll never be able to be happy in a relationship. -- Taylor Swift
My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music. -- Taylor Swift
I think I have a big fear of things spiraling out of control. Out of control and dangerous and reckless and thoughtless scares me, because people get hurt. -- Taylor Swift
I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.' -- Taylor Swift
You'll be mine and I'll be yours. -- Taylor Swift
When I listen to a song, I don't say, 'Oh my gosh, that vocal line she sang was the best thing I ever heard.' I'm thinking, 'That lyric just moves me. That lyric just said what I feel better than I could say it myself.' -- Taylor Swift
A song is a favorite song, not because the singer can hit and hold a high note, but because of the words, their meaning. -- Taylor Swift
It doesn't bother me when people try to deconstruct my songs - because at least they're looking at the lyrics, and paying attention to the way the story is told. -- Taylor Swift
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think She's an actress, whoa She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress -- Taylor Swift
You can't generalise about an entire country, but I like the energy of British men. -- Taylor Swift
I definitely think that with music my favorite thing about Nashville is that it's a music hub that accepts and allows all genres to be present, and I think there's been a kind of fusing of genres lately that for me makes me really happy and excited. -- Taylor Swift
I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it to feel sane. -- Taylor Swift
I am getting to the point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about. -- Taylor Swift
One of the things people don't really recognise about the similarities between country and hip-hop is that they're celebrations of pride in a lifestyle. -- Taylor Swift
One of my best friends is dating my other best friend, Lena! -- Taylor Swift
All you need to do to be my friend is like me. -- Taylor Swift
Maybe you won't find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will. -- Taylor Swift
My audience has really become a very diverse group of people. It's not just 15-year-old girls. That's kind of what allows me to write from all the different places I want to write from. -- Taylor Swift
I get really restless when I haven't worked for a day and a half. I have a recurring dream that people are lined up next to my bed, waiting for autographs and taking pictures of me! -- Taylor Swift
People talk to me a lot about, "Why don't you ever rebel?" And I feel like I do rebel. To me, rebelling is - is that rush you get when you sing a song about someone and you know they're in the crowd. -- Taylor Swift
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart. -- Taylor Swift
I think the first thing you should know is that nobody in country music 'made it' the same way. It's all different. There's no blueprint for success, and sometimes you just have to work at it. -- Taylor Swift
I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about. -- Taylor Swift
I still like to live in a whimsical world that seems more romantic and fantasy-related because real life seems so hard -- Taylor Swift
I've written all my songs on every single one of my records, and that's what's been fun about looking back. -- Taylor Swift
She can't see the way your eyes will light up when you smile ... -- Taylor Swift
I'm not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day. -- Taylor Swift
I'm sick of the tabloids' saying I obsess over guys. Why would you obsess over guys? They don't like it. -- Taylor Swift
It's pretty unhealthy to obsess over what people think about you. -- Taylor Swift
I keep one eye on the path I didn't choose every day. -- Taylor Swift
I'm interested in Jackson Pollock's kind of art, where art is beautiful, but it's nothing, and yet it's incredible. -- Taylor Swift
Your lucky enough to be different, never change -- Taylor Swift
I'm Taylor, I'm 11 and I want a record deal. -- Taylor Swift
I remember auditioning for record labels and having them tell me, 'Well, the country-radio demographic is the thirty-five-year-old female housewife. Give us a song that relates to the thirty-five-year-old female, and we'll talk.' -- Taylor Swift
And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they'll never stop doing, I think it's FEARLESS to stop believing them. It's FEARLESS to say "you're NOT sorry" and walk away. -- Taylor Swift
I like shirts and sweaters that fall off the shoulder or plaid button-ups. -- Taylor Swift
It feels kinda weird being back in a high school cause I haven't been in a high school for about a year. So um, it's kinda interesting coming back, and y'know seeing the lockers, with all the signs, the handmade signs, so being in high school again is a little bit strange but in a good way. -- Taylor Swift
In life, you learn lessons. And sometimes you learn them the hard way. Sometimes you learn them too late. -- Taylor Swift
All of my songs are autobiographical. -- Taylor Swift
I get nervous for everything - literally everything. -- Taylor Swift
It's not our job to make people like us if they don't want to. It's not our job to change people. That's beyond our control. But what you CAN control is how you respond to it. -- Taylor Swift
I have never used Auto-Tune in a live television performance, and I have never used Auto-Tune in any of my concerts. That is a promise. -- Taylor Swift
Life isn't how to survive the storm, it's about how to dance in the rain. -- Taylor Swift
It's one of the craziest feelings to be on stage and know that you were sitting on your bedroom floor when that song came to be and now there's an arena full of people singing it. -- Taylor Swift
You can never forget the people who were always there for you from the beginning. -- Taylor Swift
In the future, artists will get record deals because they have fans-not the other way around ... The only memento 'kids these days' want is a selfie. It's part of the new currency, which seems to be 'how many followers you have on Instagram'. -- Taylor Swift
When I go to a restaurant, yeah, I know that a line is probably going to form in front of the table, but didn't I always wish for that? Yeah, I did. -- Taylor Swift
One of my big fears is people saying my songs are all starting to sound the same. -- Taylor Swift
I'm intimidated by the fear of being average. -- Taylor Swift
I love making buckwheat crepes with ham, Parmesan cheese, and a fried egg on top. It's my go-to breakfast. -- Taylor Swift
I need that unexplainable spark. I need to see someone and feel 'oh-oh'. It's only happened a few times in my life. -- Taylor Swift
I'm the kind of person who needs to feel like everything happens for a reason. When you date a guy and it goes badly, that's horrible. But if you can write a song about it, then it was worth it. -- Taylor Swift
Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes. You say sorry just for show. You live like that, you live with ghosts. -- Taylor Swift
All we are is skin and bone trained to get along. -- Taylor Swift
I think the tiniest little thing can change the course of your day, which can change the course of your year, which can change who you are. -- Taylor Swift
For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you. -- Taylor Swift
I don't like to feel like I'm in a club when I'm in my car and I turn on the radio. Anything that ceases to be a song and just sounds like house music kind of stresses me out. -- Taylor Swift
I've always felt music is the only way to give an instantaneous moment the feel of slow motion. To romanticise it and glorify it and give it a soundtrack and a rhythm. -- Taylor Swift
I don't need to edit names out of songs and I don't need to edit details out of my songs because I've always been able to be honest with my music. That's the one place where I'm never ever going to change how I do things. -- Taylor Swift
For me, writing a song, I sit down and the process doesn't really involve me thinking about the demographic of people I'm trying to hit or who I want to be able to relate to the song or what genre of music it falls under. -- Taylor Swift
So don't you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine. [Ours] -- Taylor Swift
For me, 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. -- Taylor Swift
When I'm writing a record, I kind of don't listen to much music. Just because I want to be inspired solely on the emotion; just based on how it feels. -- Taylor Swift
I like the way the stories of my relationships sound to music more than the way they look in print, in gossip columns or in me talking about them in interviews. I think it's a better way of telling the stories. -- Taylor Swift
I've found time can heal most anything and you just might find who you're supposed to be. -- Taylor Swift
I'm so lucky that my songs are basically my diary put to music. -- Taylor Swift
For me, great music doesn't just have to fall into one category or one genre and I love appreciating all kinds of music. -- Taylor Swift
I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music. -- Taylor Swift
The one place where I'm allowed to rebel, and the one place where I'm allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music. -- Taylor Swift
Nothing safe is worth the drive. -- Taylor Swift
So It's Gonna Be Forever or It's Gonna Go Down In Flames
You Can Tell Me When It's Over, If the High Was Worth the Pain. -- Taylor Swift
Most of my fans, if you were to look on their iPods, you'd see every possible genre of music represented in some capacity. -- Taylor Swift
I feel like my music has become a lot of things. It's hard to label the evolution, but I like there to be an evolution. I just like to paint with all different kinds of colors. -- Taylor Swift
So many girls come up and say to me, 'I have never listened to country music in my life. I didn't even know my town had a country-music station. Then I got your record, and now I'm obsessed.' That's the coolest compliment to me. -- Taylor Swift
Unique and different is the next generation of beautiful. -- Taylor Swift
And, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that's fine with me! -- Taylor Swift
I have a terrifying long list of fears. Literally everything - diseases, spiders ... and people getting tired of me. -- Taylor Swift
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine. -- Taylor Swift
My style advice to other girls is to be experimental but always have a 'home base' and stick with your comfort style. -- Taylor Swift
You have to stop looking in the mirror and realize that your living for yourself, not other people. -- Taylor Swift
Be friends first when you're dating. If it turns into something more, that's awesome, and if not you have another friend. -- Taylor Swift
At some point, you grow out of being attracted to that flame that burns you over and over and over again. -- Taylor Swift
In school if you're different that's uncool. But I try to maintain confidence in who I am ... because ... you know ... I don't really want to change it. -- Taylor Swift
Spending a lot of time alone, gave me a lot of time to think. A lot of time to think gave me the time to write songs. -- Taylor Swift
