Well I've tried my best to fill such things
:
What was Taylor like when she was a kid?
Sharon first met Taylor when she was 11 and auditioned for The Sound of Music. Impressed by Taylor’s “amazing” stage presence, Luyben gave her the part of Louisa. “She was very focused and determined to do what she wanted to do,” Sharon recalled of the adolescent Taylor Swift. “But she was not obnoxiously competitive; not pushy. Just a quiet leader; a pleasant, wonderful person.”
What are Taylor's favorite music?
Eminem happens to be one of the artists on Taylor’s iPod, which is full of an eclectic mix of tunes. “My iPod is full of everything: Ingrid Michaelson, Matt Carney, the Dixie Chicks, Rascal Flatts...and then I have Kanye West and Eminem,” she explained. “My musical taste is all over the place.”
She also listens to Boys Like Girls, Faith Hill, Heidi Newfield, Hellogoodbye, Jonas Brothers, Katy Perry, Kings of Leon, and Metro Station. Furthermore, Taylor’s cell phone ringtones include “Taylor” by Jack Johnson, “It’s Over” by Jesse McCartney, and “You’re so Vain” by Carly Simon. In this way, Taylor’s musical tastes span decades. One of her favorite songs is the 1990 cover song “Nothing Compares to You” by Sinead O’Connor. It’s a song Taylor sometimes puts on repeat play.
What's Taylor's favorite book?
Her favorite book in school was To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee because she said, “I’m very interested in any writing from a child’s perspective.”
What's Taylor's favorite art?
“I’m interested in Jackson Pollock’s kind of art, where art is beautiful but it’s nothing and yet it’s incredible,” she said.
What are Taylor's favorite movies, TV shows?
Her favorite movie is Love Actually—she can say all the lines in a British accent. “It’s one of those movies with an amazing ending that makes you want a boyfriend on Christmas,” said Taylor. “Because of that, I can only watch it once a year.”
Her favorite television show is CSI, especially CSI: Las Vegas. She also loves the situational humor on Grey’s Anatomy. She can’t always watch episodes when they air, so she catches up by watching them on DVD. She said she watches Grey’s Anatomy when she feels stressed or lonely, and she watches them more than once. She refers to it as “her show” and even downloads all the songs played on the show. Her favorite character was Izzie’s boyfriend, Denny Duquette, who died in Season 3. Taylor cried for days after that happened. “It was borderline embarrassing,” she said.
SNS?
When she’s not blogging on MySpace, Taylor likes to read other blogs; her favorites are Ocean Up, Just Jared, and Paris Hilton.
“Twitter has just become big in the last couple of months,” Taylor told Whirl magazine in 2008. “And, my dad’s a stockbroker, so it’s all about trying to figure out what’s going to be huge tomorrow and getting in front of it…I always want to be on the cutting edge of all those platforms.”
What does Taylor think about love?
“I’m fascinated by love rather than the principle of ‘Oh, does this guy like me?’” she said. “I love love. I love studying it and watching it. I love thinking about how we treat each other, and the crazy way that one person can feel one thing and another can feel totally different.”
She likes that love can be impulsive. “I think that you can’t be too neurotic about love. You can’t plan everything out,” she said. “I think that one of the cool things about love is that the spontaneity of it is what makes it so magical. I think the coolest way to have a first kiss is when you’re in the middle of a sentence, and you’re rambling on about something, and the guy looks over and just kisses you, and you’re not expecting it. Like, you’re not planning that. That’s not underneath a terrace, underneath the moonlight with a shooting star running across the sky and everything’s perfect. I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.”
What does Taylor look for in a potential mate?
“The guy I’m looking for is the guy I can be me around, not a version of me I think he’d like,” she told Seventeen. “He’s the guy I’m not wearing different clothes for. I’m not holding back jokes because he might think they’re stupid. I’m not afraid to show emotion because I might scare him. It’s important to not have rules about who the guy is: the rule should be about who you are when you’re with him.”
“I think it’s more a question of confidence. I wouldn’t want to be with a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control,” she said. “It’s really natural for me to go into planning mode, but I’d rather be with someone who has his own voice and passion and ambition.”
What does Taylor look for in friends?
Who are the friends she values most? When making friends, Taylor looks for a simple yet important characteristic. “I love people who are nice to me,” she said. Despite her fame, Taylor isn’t a snob about who can be her friend, and who can’t. “All you need to do to be my friend is like me,” she explained.
What would Taylor be doing if she weren't doing music?
If she went to college, Taylor said she would not major in music. “When music becomes technical for me, I don’t like that part of it,” she said. “When you’re reading music, for me, it turns into math. I like for it to go the way it’s going to go. I’m not as much into technique as I am into the emotion of it.”
Her mother believes she would have been a writer. “If music hadn’t worked out, I think she’d be going off to college to take journalism classes or trying to become a novelist,” Andrea Swift told The Washington Post. “But her writing took an interesting twist when she picked up the guitar and applied her writing to music.”
Police work is another possible, alternative career for Taylor. “I would be in some sort of criminal investigation process, Homeland Security or something like that,” she said. On the other hand, she might have gone into business development and advertising. “Sometimes, I think of ideas for products,” Taylor explained. “How about a van company called Van Go?”
What does Taylor carry in her purse?
These include “a black Juicy Couture wallet from my first boyfriend, my iPhone, two iPods, Mace, and a key chain that looks like a cat but is really a knife,” said Taylor.
She also carries her diary around with her, which makes her purse heavy. “My purse weighs, like, 50 pounds because my diary’s in there and it weighs so much—it’s the thickness of a Bible!” she told Seventeen. “I always have to have a diary or a journal with me wherever I go because I’m constantly writing stuff down, whether it’s what happened to me that day, or an idea for a song in the middle of the night.”
Where does Taylor see herself in the future?
There is one thing Taylor Swift knows about the future. She’ll still love music. She hopes to be touring still in 10 or 20 years. “I’d love to always be present in music, writing songs, but I’m not the kind of person who will hang around if I become irrelevant,” she said. “I’ll bow out gracefully, raise my kids and have a garden. And I’m going to let my hair go gray when I’m older—I don’t need to be blond when I’m 60.”
How would Taylor decorate her home?
Taylor said she wanted her condo to have an “Old World, eclectic feel,” one that would boast “a different knob on every cabinet.” Taylor also said she loves bright colors and draping fabrics. She would fill the condo with antiques she bought during her travels. And, perhaps to prove she’s still a kid at heart, she said she wanted a tree house in her living room.
