I always wanted to know, and I always used to daydream, about what it would be like to stand on a really big stage and sing songs for a lot of people, songs that I had written... Daydreaming was kind of my No. 1 thing when I was little, because I didn't have much of a social life going on.
Taylor SwiftWhen I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they're part of a family, not just a tour.
Taylor SwiftIn the beginning I remember when I would spend three hours a day on MySpace just trying to comment everyone back, and now, I spend a half hour a night on MySpace just putting up new stuff and answering people back and monitoring all the fan sites, and saying hi and thank you. I'm still way on top of it. I haven't grown out of it because it'll always be something that helped launch my career, and I'm going to keep maintaining it.
Taylor SwiftIn middle school, my friends decided I was weird, and they didnโt like my hair. They ditched me and talked behind my back, which is cool โ Iโm over it. [laughs] One time I called them and said, โHey, do you want to go to the Berkshire Mall?โ They all gave me excuses and said no. So I go to the mall with my mom, and donโt you know, we run into all of them. Together. Shopping. My mom could see I was about to cry, so she said, โYou know what? Weโre going to the King of Prussia mall,โ which was the mecca.
