Taylor Swift has had a good laugh at hipsters, well, basically because they’re an easy target, right? Taylor explains that she once dated a guy who was a complete indie music snob and would only listen to “underground” bands and once they’d become popular with uncool people, he’d stop listening. Taylor points out that the whole thing is just hilarious because it’s weird and annoyingly hipster-ish (Taylor Swift finally says something that qualifies as genius):
“That all came out of this one relationship I was in. This guy was just, so, so cool. It kind of gave me a bit of a complex for this album, because he was always going on and on about this new band that was so cool because they were so underground. I have so many indie bands on my iPod. What I don’t really understand is the attitude that if a band is unknown, they’re good, and if they get fans, then you move on to the next band.”
Taylor also admits that she once told a boyfriend she wouldn’t write about their relationship together but later she did even though she made him a promise about it at the time:
“Of course I was like, “Oh, don’t worry, I won’t.” And then I did. Look, it’s not like it was written somewhere in the fine print that I write songs about my life. If we break up, I’m going to write about it. But I’m probably also going to write about when I fell in love with you. So there’s an upside.”
