I won't give in

Darling, you’re my, my, my, my lover.

Keds & Taylor Swift for Ladies First

I was in your sights, you got me alone, You found me.

“I think people will be amazed at my ribbon dancing skills. Ribbon dancing is an art form that I feel I possess in my inner soul. I think that everything else has been just like a, kind of… detour, and I’ve now found my final destination, which is Ribbon Dancing.”

The last couple of years have been about defining life on my own terms.Being on my own, prioritizing my girlfriends, my family and my music above everything else and trying things I never thought I’d try. It’s really been a liberating and freeing time.

“The challenge with a stadium show is making those people in the very top row feel like they got an intimate, personal experience. On the Red tour we achieved that sense of intimacy by having acoustic moments, and moments where I was telling stories about these songs. I don’t like to scream at the audience, I like to talk to them.” — Taylor Swift on her plans for The 1989 World Tour

Still all my life I got money and power, and you gotta live with the bad blood now…

My fans don’t feel like I hold anything back from them. They know whatever I’m going through now, they’ll hear about it on a record someday. They’ll hear the real story. There’s a little bit of lag time. It’s not as instant as going on a gossip blog. But it’s much more accurate.

“Boys want love if it’s torture, but real men want you to text them back. Honestly. The way you can tell the boys from the men is how they react when you don’t play games with them. A boy will become bored. A man will want to get to know you more. Everyone wants a challenge, but you shouldn’t have to completely manipulate your communication style in order to seem like one. Your conversation, your outlook, your wit, your accomplishments, your charisma, those things should challenge him. Any MAN knows that if you’re showing him all of those qualities, you could just as easily show them to someone else if he plays games. You know what they say, play games with a girl, she’ll chase you. Play games with a woman, she will replace you.”
