“Fans are my পছন্দ thing in the world. I’ve never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their বন্ধু and their fans. The line’s always been really blurred for me. I’ll hang out with them after the show. I’ll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I’ll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes. I don’t care. I’m just a senior in high school who has a better job. Who am I to think I’m better than talking to people?”
“I প্রণয় it when people say things to me in public and want to meet me, because I want to meet them! Early on, my manager told me, “If আপনি want to sell 500,000 records, then go out there and meet 500,000 people.”
“To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare আপনি to death.”
“What I’ve learned is not to change who আপনি are, because eventually you’re going to run out of new things to become.”
“You only get so many firsts, Every one is a blessing.”
“The only place where it’s cool to be the same as everyone else is in junior high.”
“Clubs are just not where I want to be photographed. For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my সঙ্গীতানুষ্ঠান last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values. I am an over-achiever, and I want to be known for the good things in my life.”
“People haven’t always been there for me but সঙ্গীত always has.”
“Everybody has that point in their life where আপনি hit a crossroads and you’ve had a bunch of bad days and there’s different ways আপনি can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.”
“I write blatantly obvious songs with blatantly obvious details, and then I’m like NO! when they find out, I dunno what’s wrong with me. I have issues.”
“I’m not that complicated. my complications come out in my songs. All আপনি have to do to be my friend is like me…and listen.”
“When you’re গান গাওয়া আপনি can hear the echo of people in the audience গান গাওয়া every single word with you, and that was that big dream that I had for myself. It’s happening.”
“I think songwriting is the ultimate form of being able to make anything that happens in your life productive. If আপনি get out of a bad relationship that was a complete waste of time, আপনি can write about it and it can become a benefit to your career. How sweet is that?”
“I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.”
“Everything about this business is exciting to me.”
“I think I first realized I wanted to be in country সঙ্গীত and be an artist when I was 10. And I started dragging my parents to festivals, and fairs, and kareoke contests, and I did that for about a বছর before I came to Nashville for the first time. I was 11 and I had this demo CD of me গান গাওয়া Dixie Chicks and Leanne Rimes songs.”
“You know what, if they don’t want me to write bad songs about them, they shouldn’t do bad things.”
“I wrote this song last বছর about a guy named Stephen who I thought was cute. Sometimes all it takes to write a song about someone is thinking that they’re cute.”
“I hope that I stand for the girl who is 15 and is in school and doesn’t fit in. Maybe she can find some sort of comfort দ্বারা going প্রথমপাতা and putting on my CD.”
“I suffer from girlnextdooritis where the guy is বন্ধু with আপনি and that’s it.”
(On how to sell 3 million CDs in 2008) “Go to high school and write it all down.”
(On Drew, the guy she wrote Teardrops on my গিটার about) “My dad was all “Taylor there are two guys coming up the driveway” I looked and it was Drew! I guess this was the whole “I know the song is about me, still interested?” I mean if he hears the song and heroicly shows up, I mean that’s great, but two years later- You’re a little late!”
(On if she was going to keep driving দ্বারা Joe Jonas’ house after they broke up, as she usually does) “He has a lot of body gaurds. They’re very tall, so uh, no.”
“My mom and I have always been really close. She’s always been the friend that was always there. There were times when, in middle school and junior high, I didn’t have a lot of friends. But my mom was always my friend. Always.”
(When asked how she had the courage to walk up to record labels when she was twelve and thirteen) It’s because I could never feel the kind of rejection in the সঙ্গীত industry that I felt in middle school.”
“I’m intimidated দ্বারা the fear of being average.”
“And Kenny Chesney is so completely nice. Genuinely nice. Like, we were all sitting around the bus after the প্রদর্শনী and he came up and sat down and talked to us for a while.. and before he left he ব্যক্ত “I’m going to get something to eat, y’all want anything?” Like, simple things like that.. It’s just.. really nice. And I really really like nice people.”
“I pulled out my iPod and randomly selected a Grey’s Anatomy episode to watch the pass the time.. And it randomly selected the episode where Denny dies, and so I started hysterically crying and couldn’t stop for about ten minutes. (He was my পছন্দ character, hands down. Why’d he have to die?) For the the record, this is the first time I’ve cried in a VERY long time. So I figure if the only reason I have to cry is a TV show, I must be pretty lucky.”
“When আপনি talk about virginity and sex publicly, people just automatically picture আপনি naked.”
“(On her win at the 2007 CMT সঙ্গীত Awards) I cannot believe this is happening right now. This is for my MySpace people and everybody who voted. The fans, y’all, I’m going out on tour with Brad paisley and this is coming with me to every single [autograph] signing line so আপনি can get a picture of the award আপনি won for me. Thank আপনি so much.”
(Upon winning the CMA Horizon Award) “This is definitely the highlight of my senior year!”
“I put absolutely everything I have into this album. These are songs I wrote in my bedroom. I worked on this album for two years, and I can’t believe my name was called! Getting to write every song on an album and having it voted album of the বছর is an indescribable honor.”
“On being nominated for a CMT award I’m so excited, but really nervous, too! I’ve never been nominated for anything before. I’ve sat in the nosebleed section watching the CMT Awards for two years in a row now, looking down and hoping that maybe if I worked hard enough, I’d get to sit in the awesome seats the nominees get to sit in. And it looks like that’s going down this year!”
"I think in terms of, in general, red is just a bold, ব্রেভ color. I প্রণয় red lipstick. I প্রণয় red dresses. I প্রণয় red shoes. I প্রণয় a red stage — that's what we're sitting on right now. Red is the theme of the moment."
