Gossip Teen

It’s remarkable to be just 19 and have already been the musical guest on Saturday Night Live and now the cover of Rolling Stone. Those are incredible pinnacles in any musician’s career and Taylor Swift is just starting out and already accomplished both. She takes her image and her responsibility as a role model very seriously.

“When you lose someone’s trust, it’s lost, and there are a lot of people out there who are counting on me right now,” she says. “Rebellion is what you make of it. When you’ve been on a tour bus for two months straight, and then you get in your car and drive wherever you want, that can feel rebellious.”

It’s interesting to see her be proud to be the good girl and be successful, unlike so many others who feel compelled to court the naughty bad girl image. Good for her for being true to herself, which is difficult to maintain in the music industry.
