Taylor Swift //
Here’s what the 20-year-old country cutie had to share:
On sending out CDs of her first single to radio stations, hoping they’d play it: “With every envelope that I would seal I would look at the address and the station on there and think, ‘Please, please just listen to this one time.’ I would say a little message to each envelope: ‘Please, whoever gets this, please listen to this.’ There’s no promise when you’re putting out your first single that people are even going to listen to it.”
On “Innocent,” her song about the Kanye West incident: “It took a while to write that song. That was a huge, intense thing in my life that resonated for a long time. It was brought up to me in grocery stores and everywhere I went, and in a lot of times in my life, when I don’t know how I feel about something, I say nothing. And that’s what I did until I could come to the conclusion that I came to in order to write ‘Innocent.’ Even then, I didn’t talk about it, and I still don’t really talk about it. I just thought it was very important for me to sing about it.”
On already planning a tour: “I already have drawings in my journal of what the stage should look like. I know a few of the set list orders…I want there to be an entire wedding scene on the stage.”
