You realize who you're in love with is fading fast. You don't know what to do, but in that period time moves so slowly.

I think there's something so attractive about mystery.

Ryan Seacrest: Trouble, trouble trouble. So why do girls go for the bad guys, what is it Taylor Swift? Why? Taylor Swift: Because maybe we could change them! Everybody wants to like tame a lion.

I think there's something so attractive about mystery. There's something so attractive about the chase. And the bad guy ... bad boys know how to keep the chase going throughout an entire relationship because you never know if you completely have them or not. That's why they're so hard to get over.

I have been singing randomly, obsessively, obnoxiously for as long as I can remember.

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.

So many girls come up and say to me, 'I have never listened to country music in my life. I didn't even know my town had a country-music station. Then I got your record, and now I'm obsessed.' That's the coolest compliment to me.
