Well, you know, I never really sit back like ‘I’m good enough at this, lets stop working on it.’ My attitude has always been if you get better and you see success, that should motivate you to work even harder so thats kind of how I approached everything.
→Taylor Swift
“I approach love differently now that I know it’s hard for it to work out.”
“I will always believe in love and I don’t care what happens to me or how many times I get my heart broken, or how many breakup songs I write, I’m always going to believe that someday I am going to meet somebody who is actually right for me and he’s going to be wonderful and it’s going to work out.”
I want my fans to know that I’m just the same girl I was when the first album came out.
→Taylor Swift
I set my sights really low because I didn’t want to be disappointed or get my heart broken. I didn’t want to presume that I deserve things right out of the gate. I think if you hope for the best but don’t really expect too much, it’ll wake you up every day with a smile on your face when you do get lucky. Every day’s a bonus because you did not expect any of it at all.

Music is so important—it gives us a way to say how we feel, because sometimes we’re just so confused and we have no idea what we’re thinking unless somebody sings it perfectly for us. And when that happens, that song becomes our favorite, that’s a really special thing. It’s an honor for me to be a part of that.
→Taylor Swift
When I think about the things that cause me pain or the things that cause me trouble or frustration, it’s not people asking for my autograph; it’s people breaking my heart. That happens to you whether you’ve sold millions of records or whether you’re taking classes at college. You’re going to believe people when they say that they love you. I don’t leave out details when I write songs about that. I try to make my songs as personal as possible because, ultimately, my music started out as just trying to turn my diary entries into something that was a piece of music. And that has never changed.
→Taylor Swift
Don’t worry. You may think you’ll never get over it. But you also thought it would last forever.
→Taylor Swift
I love all the girls who have my song on their myspaces. I love the people who come to my shows and put the pictures on here. I love the people at those shows who sing along with me. I love reading your stories in emails, some so touching they’ve given me chills. I love every single person who has wanted my autograph, because for the life of me I never really thought it would mean something to someone for me to write my name down. I love the little girls who stand in line with their mothers like I used to do. That was me. I love the couple who danced to my song at their wedding. Every comment, letter, and message. I love people who listen to the radio. I love every single person who is reading this, because you’ve let me into your life. I love you all so much, I just wanted you to know.
→Taylor Swift
Just because as human beings, what we can’t have is what we reply in our head over and over again before we go to sleep.
→Taylor Swift
I’ve always been a hugger. If we all hugged more, the world would be a better place.
→Taylor Swift
Throughout all of the changes that have happened in my life, one of the priorities I’ve had is to never change the way I write songs and the reasons I write songs. I write songs to help me understand life a little more. I write songs to get past things that cause me pain. And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me when it’s being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse.
→Taylor Swift
I write a lot of songs about love and I think that’s because to me love seems like this huge complicated thing. But it seems like every once in a while, two people get it figured out, two people get it right. And so I think the rest of us, we walk around daydreaming about what that might be like. To find that one great love, where all of a sudden everything that seemed to be so complicated, became simple. And everything that used to seem so wrong all of a sudden seemed right because you were with the person who made you feel fearless.
→Taylor Swift
To truly love is to have the courage to walk away and let the other person who wishes to be free go no matter how much it hurts.
