Taylor Swift is featured in the Summer 2011 issue of Philadelphia Style Magazine.
In the issue Taylor dishes on her songwriting skills:
“I don’t really write songs in a structure. I write about my life. And it helps me to feel better about anything causing me pain or confusion. It’s a little addictive because it helps you figure things out in your life. If I think of a line that paints a picture, I’ll write it down. Some [songs] come four lines at a time and I’ll have a chorus. Other times I really have to work at it. But I have to say that my favorite songs were all written really quick.”
She also talks girl power:
“I look out into the crowd and there are girls my age, women there with their moms and grandmothers—and I feel so lucky. The thing that connects us, at one point or another, is that we all dream about love, want to be in love, are hurt by love. Love and loss, and all that. I can’t say I expected [women to relate]. It’s amazing to me.”
Taylor also talks life lessons:
“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.”
