Taylor Swift ELLE Magazine April 2010

Taylor Swift is the cover girl for ELLE’s April issue.  In her interview with the magazine she chats about on media scrutiny, her fears, and her revealing lyrics.

On who she thinks is hot: “Um, well…Taylor Lautner.”

On if she’s really “fearless”:  “I overthink everything. I overanalyze everything.”

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.”

On wanting to visit Nashville as a child:  “I just got it into my head that there was this magical place that I needed to go to because that was where dreams come true.”

On sourcing material from her romantic relationships:  “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.”
