“I’ve had countless opportunities to do some really bad things….” Taylor Swift covers the April 2010 issue of Elle Magazine, and the Grammy-winning country starlet tells the style mag she doesn’t mind being a pop star and a good girl. Swift says the fear of media scrutiny helps her avoid the road of self-destruction traveled be many a young star; she simply doesn’t want the tabloids infiltrating her personal life.
Taylor On Her Biggest Fears: “Me making a bunch of bad decisions and embarking on a painful, slow, devastating tailspin.”
Taylor On Media Scrutiny: “I’ve had countless opportunities to do some really bad things. And then people start combing through everything I do trying to find the next mistake and misperception, which leads to more scrutiny. Like, if I go to a bar, even if I’m not drinking, who’s to say that a source isn’t going to say that I was doing something I shouldn’t have been doing? So it’s not only about your own moral compass, but the moral compasses of other people that you don’t know.”
Taylor On Writing About Her Lovelife: “I like to categorize the various levels of heartbreak. I’ve only had that happen once. A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums.”
Who Does Taylor Find “Hot?” “Um, well…Taylor Lautner.”
