Taylor Swift has opened up on her Middle School years, revealing that the period made her feel insecure and she often felt as though she didn’t fit in properly and was left out from everything by her peers. She slowly realized she was being rejected by those in school and it made the problems worse:
“Middle school was what programmed me to be semi-insecure, like, all of the time. I didn’t fit in….I’d stand on the outside of the circle but I was never really in. That’s when I started to realize there’s this thing called rejection.”
Opening up on internet rumors that constantly swirl about her love life, Taylor puts one thing straight – she says she doesn’t do the chasing when it comes to relationships despite all of the reports which constantly claim she’s running after new celebrity guys all of the time:
“I’m sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I’m chasing somebody who doesn’t like me as much as I like him – people love that angle on me. They’re like “Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys. I never chase boys. They don’t like it!”
Speaking on how her songs relate to her ex boyfriends, Taylor says she just takes the emotions from within her and writes about what is in her heart, be it about a relationship or anything else and it’s just the way she’s always done it from the beginning:
“To me it’s just writing songs the way I always have. It’s me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn’t understand, writing a song, and understanding it better. If people want to dissect the lyrics, that’s their right, but it’s all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It’s just something I do to feel better.”
