remember when everyone freaked out about this bc same

I’m still freaking out about this

At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it. I also learned how to needlepoint ironic cross-stitches of rap lyrics and gave them to my friends as presents. I’ll let you decide which is the more important revelation.

“My fans make fun of me, it’s really cool. They have all these gifs of me making an idiot of myself or tripping and falling on stage. They bring humor back into it for me… I love them. They are cool and smart and hilarious and focused on the right things. I want to make the most of this cultural relevance or success or whatever you want to call it, because it’s not going to last. I have to be as good a person while my name matters to them.” 

Congratulations on the Blank Space music video reaching one billion views, Taylor!

Young and reckless 

Baby I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake…

“Why is it mischievous, fun, and sexy if a guy has a string of lovers that he’s cast aside, loved, and left, yet if a woman dates three or four people in an eight-year period, she is a serial dater, and it gives some 12-year-old the idea to call her a slut on the internet? It’s not the same for boys; it just isn’t, and that’s a fact.“

tonight’s the night when we forget             about the heartbreaks, it’s time…

“I think there are lessons I’ve come to learn in retrospect, like not taking for granted the really small shows, which weren’t even my shows—just my turn to sing karaoke. Now I’m looking into a big crowd of people and I’m able to appreciate [those times] so much. You have to find balance between being in the moment and getting to where you want to be. You’ve got to appreciate where you are when you’re there.”

“This last year has felt very different than any other year of my life. I’ve felt more settled and unapologetic about who I am and what I stand for. I think that might be one of those symptoms of growing up and becoming your own person, and depending less on other people’s opinions of you. I just hope that keeps going—because I’m liking it.”
