"It's OK that everything isn't OK all the
time.""It's all about walking a tightrope between not being so fragile
and breakable that they can level you with one blow, and being raw
enough to feel it.""It's nice to have some tricks up your sleeve.""Music
is the only thing that's ever fit me like that little black dress you
wear every single time you go out."
While making the press rounds to promote her
upcoming album, 1989, Taylor Swift has been dropping more than a few
thoughtful one-liners, adding to her long list of quotable moments from
over the years. Most recently, Taylor called out the "sexist" critics
who say she only writes about romantic relationships.
She said,
"Frankly, I think that's a very sexist angle to take. No one says that
about Ed Sheeran. No one says that about Bruno Mars. They're all writing
songs about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life, and
no one raises a red flag there."
Her compelling comments aren't the
only thing making headlines these days, though, as she's topping the
charts with her latest songs - even when the "song" is only eight
seconds of white noise. To celebrate the release of 1989 next week, take
a look at 13 (naturally) of Taylor's most insightful, empowering
quotes.
