“I hope that I stand for the girl who is 15 and is in school and doesn’t fit in. Maybe she can find some sort of comfort by going home and putting on my CD.”

I don’t know how I see my future ending up, but I hope I’ll know how to age gracefully and when to step out of the spotlight. I hope I’ll end up happy. —Taylor Swift

Music is my shining light, my favorite thing in the world. To get me to stop doing it for one second would be difficult.

I just don’t feel like writing songs about anything other than human emotions because it’s such a fascinating thing…what else is there other than love? —Taylor Swift

I write songs about my adventures and misadventures, most of which concern love. Love is a tricky business.
