Gossip Teen

Country star Taylor Swift looks fantastic in a gorgeous summer dress on the cover of the latest issue of USA Weekend Magazine (June 3 – 5, 2011). Taylor reveals it really isn’t that much fun being famous and away from her familiar surroundings and people she loves.

Ironically (Joe Jonas just released “See No More”), the 21 year-old singer explains how putting her most private thoughts/experiences into her lyrics have affected her. Taylor should hold back a little, but she is a hopelessly romantic girl, who still believes in love at first sight.

Here are some highlights from Taylor Swift’s USA Weekend interview:

On being famous: “I sit on my couch under a giant quilt and watch Friends. My 10-disc DVD set has made me feel at home in places I had never been before. Halfway across the world, I put in Friends, and I am suddenly more at home.”

On her revealing lyrics: “If something has affected me deeply, I’m going to write about it. I don’t put much of a filter on. I’ve written songs that were just anger rants. I don’t usually play them for anyone, but it’s nice to write them and rhyme that person’s name with literally every horrible thing you can think of.”

On love at first sight: “For some reason, when you are with some people, you’d rather be closer to them than further away. You want to know everything about them. This crazy, immeasurable, intangible, magical chemistry happens with certain people. When you have that, you have to know how rare it is. If you let it slip away, it’s such a shame.”
