Taylor Swift

“I feel like in my music I can be a rebel. I can say things I wouldn't say in real life.”

“The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name; it's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change.”

“Fans are my favorite thing in the world. I've never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line's always been really blurred for me. I'll hang out with them after the show. I'll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I'll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes.”

“I took a chance, I took a shot And you may think I’m bullet-proof, but I’m not. You took a swing, I took it hard. And down here from the ground I see who you are”

“I've always strived to be successful, not famous.”

“I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.”

“I think for me, beauty is sincerity. I think that there are so many different ways that someone can be beautiful. You know, someone so funny that it makes them beautiful no matter how they look, because they’re sincere in it. Or somebody who’s really emotional, and moody and thoughtful and stoic, but that makes them beautiful because that’s sincerely who they are”

“We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls, gets broken.”

“I love making buckwheat crepes with ham, Parmesan cheese, and a fried egg on top. It's my go-to breakfast.”

“My friends tease me about the fact that if someone seems bad or shady or like they have a secret, I find them incredibly interesting.”

“I don't believe in endorsing a product that you don't want to endorse.”

“You can be obsessed with the bad things people say and the good things; either way, you're obsessed with yourself, and I'm not - you can become unhinged so easily.”

“Songs for me are like a message in a bottle. You send them out to the world, and maybe the person who you feel that way about will hear about it someday.”

“My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.”

“You can plan on a change in the weather and time, but I never planned on you changing you mind.”

“One of my big fears is people saying my songs are all starting to sound the same.”

“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.”

“I think when it comes to females in the media you’ll see something that kind of upsets me which is that females are pinned up against each other more so than men. You know, for example like you never see online “vote for who has the better butt - this actor or this actor.” It’s always like this female singer and this female singer. And you get to vote. I mean, it’s daily I see these things and these polls like “let us know who’s sexier, who’s the hotter momma” and I just don’t see it like “who’s the hotter dad” you know? I think that one thing that I do believe as a feminist is that in order for us to have gender equality we have to stop making it a girl fight and we have to stop being so interested in seeing girls trying to tear each other down, it has to be more about cheering each other on as women. That’s just kind of how I feel about it.”

“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.”

“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.”
