Taylor Swift tells it like it is in the March issue of Self magazine. If you don’t want to end up in unflattering lyric, don’t screw with Tay.
“If you don’t want me to write bad songs about you, then don’t do bad things,” Swift, 19, tells Self magazine in its March issue.
She lives by that simple mantra – and a commitment to writing honest songs. “I don’t think honesty is ever something you should regret,” Swift says. “I figure if I’m going to cover things up and try to hide the way I feel and try to be perfect all the time, people are going to see through that.
She continues: “And also, if you’re trying to change yourself all the time to adapt to what you think you should be, you’re going to run out of the things to be after a while.”
Still, the teen superstar says she’s a little surprised by how fervent her audience is. “What blows me away the most,” Swift says, “is that anyone actually cares what I have to say.”
But that doesn’t mean she’s unappreciative.
“If I sign an autograph for someone, I don’t put them in the category of ‘fan’ and keep them at arm’s length,” she says. “If we strike up a conversation and we like the same things and we have the same sense of humor, then they’re my friend.”
Sure, she’s all about honesty now. Her PR team just hasn’t retooled her and knocked all of that refreshing youth out of her yet. Soon enough she’ll be recanting and denying all over the place.
As far as making friends with autograph seekers, two words: Rebecca Schaeffer.
What an awesome picture of her. Love the dress, love the flailing hair.
girrrrrl wears her HEART on her sleeve! i *like* that. here’s hopin’ the PR team fails miserably when trying to reprogram her precious little brain – STAND YOUR GROUND, TAYLOR BABY!! there aren’t nearly enough people like this in show bidnuzz……
Annoying.
not really
Wendie, you sound bitter. Just can’t stand there being genuinely nice and polite celebs in the world can you?
Don’t change, Taylor! We love you just the way you are!!!
That’s what I like about her. Her honesty.
And I won’t lie, it doesn’t hurt that the whole thing adds for hilarity on Ellen and what not.
She straight up said “Yea, these songs are about boys who’ve f’ed me over. And this is who they are: etc etc. And then Joe Jonas dumped me in a 20 second phone call that BLEEP”
“Forever and Always” is about Joe Jonas and man, let me tell you, good song.
Great photo.
