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
I think that you can love people without it being a great love. – Taylor Swift
People don’t usually compliment your character. – Taylor Swift
I’m the girl who – I call it girl-next-door-it is – the hot guy is friends with and gets all his relationship advice from but never considers dating. – Taylor Swift
I’ve never been shy or secretive with the fact that if you walk into my life, you may be walking onto a record. – Taylor Swift
I love it when people say things to me in public and want to meet me because I want to meet them! Early on, my manager told me, ‘If you want to sell 500,000 records, then go out there and meet 500,000 people.’ – Taylor Swift
I’ve never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me. I was fortunate enough to come about in a time when I didn’t feel that kind of energy at all, and it was always my theory that if you want to play in the same ballgame as the boys, you’ve got to work as hard as them. – 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
But when I hear a great song, I can’t help but be inspired by it, regardless of whatever genre that song falls under. – Taylor Swift
I can’t deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you. It’s a conscious thing; it’s a common-sense thing. – Taylor Swift
If you’re trying too hard to be the girl next door, you’re not going to be. – Taylor Swift
I think who you are in school really sticks with you. – Taylor Swift
Every single one of the guys that I’ve written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans. – 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
I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines. – Taylor Swift
I remember straightening my hair because I wanted to be like everybody else, and now the fact that anybody would emulate what I do? It’s just funny. – Taylor Swift
When we’re falling in love or out of it, that’s when we most need a song that says how we feel. Yeah, I write a lot of songs about boys. And I’m very happy to do that. – Taylor Swift
I think the first thing you should know is that nobody in country music ‘made it’s 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 often get ideas for songs on the tour bus at odd times. Like at 6 am when no one is around, I’d just write. – Taylor Swift
When I look at acting careers that I really admire, I see that it’s been a precise decision-making process for these people. They make decisions based on what they love, and they do only the things that they are passionate about. They play only characters that they can’t stop thinking about. – 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 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
Writing ‘We Are Never Getting Back Together’ was one of the most hilarious experiences I have ever had in the studio because it just happened so naturally. – 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 think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid. – Taylor Swift
I would love to sign on to do a movie if it was the right role and if it was the right script because I would be taking time away from music to tell a big grand story, and spend all of my time and pouring all of my emotions into being someone else. So for me to do that, it would have to be a story worth telling. – Taylor Swift
I think, a lot of times when you meet someone, you feel like you need to appear like you’re not interested in them so that they’ll be more interested in you. But what happens when you start showing him that you actually like him? What’s he gonna do then? Play the tape forward; how do you keep a guy like that? I don’t want to sign up for that. – Taylor Swift
Country radio is much more like a family than any other group of people that I’ve met. – 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
I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you’re supposed to end up with and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff. – Taylor Swift
I don’t live by all these rigid, weird rules that make me feel all fenced in. I just like the way that I feel, and that makes me feel very free. – Taylor Swift
I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane. – 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
It’s dangerous to read the Internet about yourself when you’re me. Or when you’re anyone in the public eye. – Taylor Swift
A development deal is where they’re giving you recording time and money to record, but not promising that they’ll put an album out. – Taylor Swift
Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you’re going to get. You know it’s going to be an all-day party. – Taylor Swift
Katie Couric is one of my favorite people. – 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
Love is the one wild card. – Taylor Swift
I’m 5’11, so when I wear heels, it’s definitely a really good view that I have. I’m, like, 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot. – Taylor Swift
The song ‘Innocent’ is a song that I wrote about something that really, really emotionally impacted me. – Taylor Swift
Most of my songs have names of people I’ve met or are dear to me. There are people who have privacy issues and about people knowing about their private life. But for me, I like to include few special names and few details about them to make the song very special to me. – Taylor Swift
Rebellion is what you make of it. When you’ve been on a tour bus for two months straight, and then you get in your car and drive wherever you want, that can feel rebellious. – 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
It never mattered to me that people in school didn’t think that country music was cool, and they made fun of me for it – though it did matter to me that I was not wearing the clothes that everybody was wearing at that moment. But at some point, I was just like, ‘I like wearing sundresses and cowboy boots.’ – Taylor Swift
Even if you’re happy with the life you’ve chosen, you’re still curious about the other options. – Taylor Swift
I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it’s a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table. – Taylor Swift
I let people fill in the blanks on their own. If they want to think about their ex, that’s fine. If they want to think about maybe who one of my exes is, then that’s fine. And it might not be right, because I’m the only one who knows what these songs are really about. It’s the one shred of privacy I have in the matter. – Taylor Swift
I don’t think I’d ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music. – Taylor Swift
Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. So I distance myself because I feel everything. – Taylor Swift
I love Karlie Kloss. I want to bake cookies with her! – 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
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
One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what’s really happening to me, even if it’s a tough pill to swallow for people around me… I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics. – Taylor Swift
My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It’s when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place. – Taylor Swift
Don’t ever call a guy first. The thing they want the most is whatever they can’t have. It sounds really juvenile, but it works. – Taylor Swift
I’m never in the same place for more than, like, three days at a time. Things can change from one minute to the next. – 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
I love being a part of the country-music community. – Taylor Swift
I don’t believe in endorsing a product that you don’t want to endorse. – Taylor Swift
There are no rules when it comes to love. – 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 don’t really know that much about love, it turns out. – Taylor Swift
I’m a songwriter. Everything affects me. – Taylor Swift
I can imagine it’s hard to make a relationship last. I wouldn’t know. – Taylor Swift
I’ve always been really, really aware of my insecurities – really, really aware. I never developed that thick skin that keeps you from letting things get to you. – 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
Songs for me are like a message in a bottle. You send them out to the world, and maybe the person whom you feel that way about will hear about it someday. – Taylor Swift
I’d like to think you don’t stop being creative once you get happy. – Taylor Swift
Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less. – Taylor Swift
My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it’s so drawn from my own life and my own stories. – Taylor Swift
It’s pretty intense writing about my own life, my own struggles. – Taylor Swift
When I was growing up in Pennsylvania, auditioning for Broadway was my dream. – Taylor Swift
For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values. – Taylor Swift
When I’m in management meetings when we’re deciding my future, those decisions are left up to me. I’m the one who has to go out and fulfill all these obligations, so I should be able to choose which ones I do or not. That’s the part of my life where I feel most in control. – Taylor Swift
‘The Story of Us’ is about running into someone I had been in a relationship with at an awards show, and we were seated a few seats away from each other. I just wanted to say to him, ‘Is this killing you? Because it’s killing me.’ But I didn’t. Because I couldn’t. Because we both had these silent shields up. – Taylor Swift
I once went on the most grueling radio tour. Living in hotel rooms, sleeping in the backs of rental cars as my mom drove to three different cities in one day. – Taylor Swift
I have to work really hard to get the record deal – I have to spend years at it to get good. I have to practice to be good at guitar. – 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 have a terrifyingly long list of fears. Literally everything – diseases, spiders… and people getting tired of me. – Taylor Swift
I go to Wal-Mart all the time. The one in my hometown of Hendersonville, Tenn., is open 24 hours, so I go there a lot to buy DVDs and stuff like that. – Taylor Swift
I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them. – Taylor Swift
I believe when it comes to love, there’s something intangible about whom we are attracted to, and I don’t think I have a pattern. – Taylor Swift
I can’t deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you. – Taylor Swift
I didn’t always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night. – Taylor Swift

The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you. – Taylor Swift
If you’re yelling you’re the one who’s lost control of the conversation. – 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
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 a telescope lens, on everything that happens. – Taylor Swift
I had the most magical childhood, running free and going anywhere I wanted to in my head. – 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
When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about. – 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
I’m typically single. I’m the girl who – I call it girl-next-door-itis – the hot guy is friends with and gets all his relationship advice from but never considers dating. – Taylor Swift
When you’re 25 or 30, you know, you can’t wear lime-green eye shadow anymore. – 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
What makes me happy is just curling up with my mom in her bed and watching a marathon of ‘CSI’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ episodes with pints of ice cream. – Taylor Swift
Poetry and lyrics are very similar. Making words bounce off a page. – Taylor Swift
I am getting to the point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about. – Taylor Swift
All of my songs are autobiographical. – Taylor Swift
When I’m getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive. – 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
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
When I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts, and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they’re part of a family, not just a tour. – Taylor Swift
I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realizing who I am. It’s a natural process. – Taylor Swift

I get nervous about everything – literally everything. – Taylor Swift
Sometimes I write about my own life. And sometimes I write about situations I see my friends going through. Sometimes I write about a scene I saw in a movie. I take inspiration from all different places. – 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 about rhymes, that person could be a muse. – Taylor Swift
Getting a great idea with songwriting 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 don’t like to feel like I’m some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves. – Taylor Swift
Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone’s singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person. – Taylor Swift
I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol. – Taylor Swift
Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun. – Taylor Swift

If you are lucky enough to find something that you love, and you have a shot at being good at it, don’t stop, don’t put it down. – 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
There’s so much about Dolly Parton that every female artist should look to, whether it’s reading her quotes or reading her interviews, or going to one of her live shows. She’s been such an amazing example to every female songwriter out there. – 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
You can draw inspiration from anything. If you’re a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you’re casually talking to says something that makes you so mad – you can create an entire scenario around that. – 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
In this business, you have to develop a thick skin, but I’m always going to feel everything. It’s my nature. – Taylor Swift
