Taylor's "Swift" Growth


Rolling Stone writer Brian Hiatt followed Taylor Swift, inspiration and role model for heartbroken teenage girls, and revealed a different side to the superstar in the most personal interview she has ever faced.

She starts off her day with Hiatt by backing right into her bassist's car while attempting to pull out of her parking spot. "Oh, my God. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD." That, my friends, is the sound of Taylor Swift losing it according to Hiatt. Swift has bad starts to her day just like you and me.

In the article, Swift talks about boyfriend and prep school senior Conor Kennedy, her anxiety of losing her voice while performing and the infamous Kanye West incident at the MTV VMAs.

Above her fireplace hangs a picture of Kanye West interrupting her acceptance speech with a caption that reads "Life is full of little interruptions." Swift overcomes adversity through little epigrams displayed throughout her home as a reminder that, oftentimes, life does not always go one's way.

T-Swift, as she is referred to by her fans, explains to Hiatt that her feelings get hurt easily. There is a compilation video online of Swift's lottery-winner surprised face each time she won an award. SNL comedian Kristen Wiig does a brutal impression of Swift's astonished reaction.

"I never won anything in school or in sports, and then all of a sudden, I started winning things," says Swift. "People always say, 'Live in the moment' - if you really live in the moment at a big awards show and you win, you freak out!"

Though the seemingly naive pop/country singer desperate to find love continues to release songs about all of her ex-boyfriends, she continues to inspire and influence her audience through the relevancy of her lyrics.
