Gossip Teen

Teen sensation Taylor Swift says life would be lonely if she was always trying to compete with her friends. The 19 year-old is best friends with Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez.

Taylor said: “I don’t compete with other people in the industry. I compete with myself. If I looked at every other girl in the entertainment industry as competition, my life would be really lonely. I wouldn’t have some of the coolest friends that I’m so glad I’ve gotten to know over the last couple of years… It’s really awesome to get to hang out with those girls and to call them friends.”

Taylor is not trying to be better than someone else but she wants to be better every day… that is why she is so awesome. We love Taylor!

Before becoming one of the greatest country stars, Taylor Swift was just a normal girl with a lot of insecurities that didn’t have friends in school. Taylor confessed life is dream for her now on stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have friends in junior high,” Swift said as she kicked off her first ever headlining “Fearless” tour. “Being an outsider gave me time to think … But there was a time when my greatest fear was not fitting in at school; I never thought I would be here with a sold-out Staples Center.”

Taylor invited a very special guest to perform a couple of songs with her. John Mayer and Taylor sang “White Horse” (video here) and “Your Body Is a Wonderland” (video here).

Talented singer/songwriter Taylor Swift, who wrote a song for her former boyfriend Joe Jonas, confessed to spy (stalk!) her ex-boyfriends just to see how they are doing.

Taylor said: “In my spare time I like to drive past my ex-boyfriends’ houses. I’m not like throwing eggs – I just like to check up on them. Everybody does that – it’s just that nobody admits to it!”

Excuse me! I never felt the need to check up on my ex-boyfriends like that… I prefer the non-stalker, easier way that is sending a text message or email and only if I really need to. What about you?? Girls, don’t tell me you are the stalker type too??

Country teen sensation Taylor Swift is not a superstitious girl! The 19 year-old actually confessed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the number thirteen is equivalent to good luck in her short successful career.

Taylor says: “It’s the number 13. I was born on the 13th [December 13, 1989], I turned 13 on Friday the 13th, my first album went gold in 13 weeks…also my first song that ever went #1, it had a 13 second intro.”

Taylor Swift covers Allure Magazine and talks about some difficult issues like weight, sex, and Prince Charming. Taylor is such a beautiful girl, I don’t understand what they were trying to do to her hair but it seems kind of wrong. Here are some highlights from Taylor Swift’s Allure Magazine Interview:

Taylor Swift on Weight: “Basically, if I’m indulging too much and not exercising enough, I can feel that,” she says. “I can feel a change before I see it. For me, working out is not so I can stay skinny. It’s so that I can keep up my endurance so I’m not panting on stage. Heavy breathing is the worst when you’re in concert. You don’t want to see that, if you’re going to see a show.”

Taylor on Keeping Mum on Her V-Card: “It’s fine to talk about love publicly. But I think when you talk about virginity and sex publicly, people just automatically picture you naked. And as much as I can prevent people picturing me naked, I’m going to.”

Taylor Talks Fairy Tales: “I have always been fascinated with fairy tales… and the idea that Prince Charming is just one castle away. And you’re gonna run across a field and meet each other in the middle, and have an amazing, perfect movie kiss. And it’s all gonna be happily ever after.”

Country teen sensation Taylor Swift will talk and write about boys and relationships but sex is a taboo subject to her at least publicly.

“It’s fine to talk about love publicly,” the 19-year-old singer tells Allure, “but I think when you talk about virginity and sex publicly, people just automatically picture you naked. And as much as I can prevent people picturing me naked, I’m going to.”

Taylor is one of a kind. Although these days it’s all about the over-sexualization of teens, Taylor doesn’t want people to think about her like that. She is a really grown up 19 year-old woman!

Super cute teen country sensation Taylor Swift is the new cover girl for the March 2009 issue of Self Magazine. Taylor talks about gifts, fans, being honest and the type of music she likes to hear when doing a photo shoot.

We heart Taylor! She is absolutely adorable, down to earth and super talented too. Here are some highlights from Taylor Swift’s Self Magazine interview:

On her birthday presents: “They’re all giving me things because it’s my birthday. These are the coolest shoes ever! (of the new Christian Louboutin’s SELF gave as a birthday gift). And he (Ken Paves) gave me bangs. Bangs and heels…best birthday ever!”

On her fan-friends: “If I sign an autograph for someone, I don’t put them in the category of ‘fan’ and keep them at arm’s length. If we strike up a conversation and we like the same things and we have the same sense of humor, then they’re my friend. It doesn’t matter how I met them. The people who go to my MySpace page are the people who make me happiest. That’s why I like to make videos for them. I like to thank them as much as possible. And when they come to my shows, I like to give them hugs.”

On being honest and truthful: “I don’t think honesty is ever something you should regret. I figure if I’m going to cover things up and try to hide the way I feel and try to be perfect all the time, people are going to see through that. And also, if you’re trying to change yourself all the time to adapt to what you think you should be, you’re going to run out of the things to be after a while.”

On her photo shoot playlist: “I made a playlist for the photo shoot because you always have to have really cool dance music and music with a really awesome beat to it. You need to be in the right energy and mood so I made a playlist that I am very, very proud of. I left my iPod at home, so we had to makeshift one, all the necessities. Jesse McCartney, Justin Timberlake—both are absolutely pivotal to the success of a photo shoot. Britney Spears and Lady Gaga, Beyonce—very, very necessary. It’s a pretty good playlist. They are so good that you can listen to them over and over. You can’t do a photo shoot without music.”
