State of grace / Taylor swift

[yourstokeeps]

I write songs about my adventures and misadventures, most of which concern love. Love is a tricky business. But if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be so enthralled with it. Lately I’ve come to a wonderful realization that makes me even more fascinated by it: I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to love. No one does! There’s no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can’t plan for it. I can’t predict how it’ll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful. And even though there’s no way to feel like I’m an expert at it, it’s worth writing songs about―more than anything else I’ve ever experienced in my life.

rep

[yourstokeeps]

It’s [reputation] legitimately an album about finding love throughout all the noise. And so it starts with the noise and how all that makes you feel, and how it makes you feel when people are saying things about you that you feel like aren’t true, and living your life sort of in defiance of that, in defiance of your reputation. And then sort of in the middle the album you kind of realize, okay so how much do I really value that? If you can find something real in spite of a bad reputation, then isn’t that what matters the most to you? And doesn’t it matter the most to you that you know who your real friends are now?

I think I’ll always be the fan that is like quietly loving and supporting Taylor in the corner and isn’t very popular but hopes one day her time will come

“Someone told me you stay under really strange alias names in hotels. […] What are some of the ones that you would never use again?”
