Taylor Swift Quotations | Page 4

So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time. As far as I'm concerned you're just another picture to burn.

But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have ot believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That's why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.

And for me, I guess the person who I tell everything that I'm going through is you. The fans.

Dating or finding someone is the last thing on my mind.

Growing up is scary because it happens without you knowing it.

You can write a book on how to ruin someone’s perfect day.

Maybe you won't find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will.

In high school, I used to think it was like sooooo cool if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust.

I think that it’s fearless to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else.

No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it.

Being a powerful woman who also exhibits great warmth is an incredible feat because people think that to be powerful you have to be cold, and you don't.

My fans don't feel like I hold anything back from them. They know whatever I'm going through now, they'll hear about it on a record someday. They'll hear the real story. There's a little bit of lag time. It's not as instant as going on a gossip blog. But it's much more accurate.

I don't look for boyfriends, I don't really scour the awards shows for who I'm going to date, but I think love happens when you're not looking for it, and when it happens, I'm not going to be the one to overthink it.

Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22...

There's part of our brain that we shut off when we're in the studio. There's part of our brain that we turn on when we are out doing an interview or promoting something or waking up at six in the morning for hair and makeup.

Some of the most beautiful people in the whole world wake up some days and they don't think that they're pretty.

I love to write honest songs that name real people, then get up onstage and live out those emotions in front of 15,000 people.

Promise me this, that you'll stand by me forever. But if God forbid Fate should step in and force us into a goodbye. If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures please tell them my name. Tell them how the crowd went wild, tell them how I hope they shine.

As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment.

I do explore the emotion every once in a while. I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy. My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

I'm a Sagittarius, and one of our major qualities is that we're blindly optimistic.

In the future, artists will get record deals because they have fans-not the other way around...The only memento 'kids these days' want is a selfie. It's part of the new currency, which seems to be 'how many followers you have on Instagram'.

I’ll be strong, I’ll be wrong, oh but life goes on Oh, I’m just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

My brother gave me some good advice. He said, "What do you want to do? Do that because there are no rules when it comes to love. There are absolutely no rules. Do what you want to do." I think that was the most liberating piece of advice, because love really is unpredictable. There's trap doors, all kinds of scary stuff, caves and bears... You never know what's going to happen so you just have to do what you feel is right in the end.

I'm not that complicated. My complications come out in my songs. All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

I was the girl who didn’t get invited to parties.

I don't think there's such a thing as falling in love too easily or falling too fast. Or loving someone too soon or trusting someone too soon... I've never treated two relationships the same. Some people move you and some people don't.

Given that everyone is giving you their own opinion about him, I think the only opinion you should listen to is yours.

There are two ways love can go. You can be good to each other or you could not play fair.

I really like my life right now. I have friends around me all the time. I’ve started painting more. I’ve been working out a lot. I’ve started to really take pride in being strong. I love the album I made. I love that I moved to New York. So in terms of being happy, I’ve never been closer to that.

The worst possible way a relationship can end is when somebody cheats on somebody else.

I was in a love that was wonderful until it was terrible, and both people got hurt from it.

I'm intrigued and drawn to people who know exactly who they are, who know what they want, who live life on their own terms.

One of my best friends is dating my other best friend, Lena!

You might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not.

I really don’t want a compilation of sounds. I just need them to be songs.

If guys don't want me to write bad songs about them, they shouldn't do bad things.

The blame is on me...I knew you were trouble when you walked in..

I've learned through writing that if something made me feel deeply or anything at all, it was worth it.

Standing there at the stage door to the rest of your life. Time to dip your toe into the deep end. Try things. Say hi already. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Mess up again. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it. Hold your friends close. Gather your strength. Gain wisdom and beautiful stories. Be brave, and you'll have the time of your life.

Happy,Free,Confused,Lonley at the same time

I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it's a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.

I'm pretty pale. In high school I was insecure and thought it'd be cool to go to a tanning bed. Now I just let it look the way it looks.

Two years gives you enough time to grow and to change, and to, you know, change your priorities. Change where you live, change your hair, change what you believe in, change who you hang out with, what’s influencing you, what’s inspiring you. And in the process of all of those changes in the last two years, my music changed.

I'm a crumbled up piece of paper lying here, 'cause I remember it all too well

I definitely know that there's somebody looking out for me, because I could never do this alone.

If you have something about yourself that's different, you're lucky. It's not a curse.

I'm not opposed to falling in love

The longer you're with the wrong person, you could be completely overlooking the chance to meet the right person.

...we almost never speak I don't feel welcome anymore baby what happened, please tell me?

Being single is wonderful and I love it. I don't ever have a morning where I wake up and say, 'I really need to find a boyfriend today.'

I feel like my dating life has become a national pastime, and Im not comfortable providing that entertainment anymore.

We wrote a song, while sitting on a trampoline & we loved it so much that we ended up recording it as a duet

Seems like the only one who doesn't see your beauty is the face in the mirror looking back at you.

Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?

I think loving someone, despite what people think, is FEARLESS. <3

Life is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right.

I go back to December, turn around and make it alright I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time

I wouldn't want to date a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control.

There are times when I'm caught up in everything and I have to say to myself, "Please feel good; please feel better; everything's okay; you're fine; things aren't falling apart; take a second; get back to a place where you realize that you don't actually have real problems." That happens. You never know when those tables are gonna turn... For me, confidence is something that can come crashing down in one second.

Oh I don’t wanna grow up, wish I’d never grown up It could still be simple.

There’s a general rule that I always go by, and it’s that you fall for who you fall for. Whatever small issue you get hung up on, whether it’s because they’re shorter than you, younger than you or they live far away - if you really are crazy about someone, none of that matters.

Ryan Seacrest: Trouble, trouble trouble. So why do girls go for the bad guys, what is it Taylor Swift? Why? Taylor Swift: Because maybe we could change them! Everybody wants to like tame a lion.

, and they could name a handful.

I love trying to beat what I've done so far.

Talk to the man with the reasons why.

This is the last time I'm asking you this, put my name at the top of your lsit. This is the last time I'm asking you why. You break my heart in the blink of an eye.

It can be heartbreaking when you find out that your fairytale image of the world doesn't match the reality.

I have to believe in fairy tales and I have to believe in love.

You have to stop looking in the mirror and realize that your living for yourself, not other people.

My parents moved across the country so I could pursue a dream.

My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again.

It's been occurring to me I'd like to hang out with you, for my whole life.1

I think that there's a difference between getting your heart broken and getting let down.

I keep going back to love when I write songs because I can't figure it out.

No amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and that eventually you'll find your own happily ever after.

You are just too young to believe that everything is not going to be okay.

You never imagine that when you say hello to someone and you fall in love, that some day you'll have to say goodbye.

I never want to end up being a self-centered, vain human being.

But I say to Apple with all due respect, we don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.

I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it

Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out

I think it's important that you know that I will never change. But I'll never stay the same either

One of the most important things about social media is knowing when to put the phone down and experience your life.

The music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment. And I’m not willing to contribute my life’s work to an experiment that I don’t feel fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists, and creators of this music. And I just don’t agree with perpetuating the perception that music has no value and should be free.

I love my fans, I could not be able to do it without you and I would not be here.

I really believe we in the music industry can work together to find a way to bond technology with integrity and just really hope we can teach the younger generation the value of investment in music rather than the ephemeral consumption of it.

The haters just got to hate so just shake it of.

Falling in love isn't as easy as it seems when you've seen love crash and burn right in front of your eyes.

I want someone to say, 'I love you and that's all I really know.' That's the girly girl in me.

You realize who you're in love with is fading fast. You don't know what to do, but in that period time moves so slowly.

Everytime you smile, I smile And everytime you shine, I'll shine for you.

It was the night things changed, can you see it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in

She's not a saint, and she's not what you think She's an actress, whoa She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress

In the middle of the night When I'm in this dream It's like a million little stars Spelling out your name

I definitely think that with music my favorite thing about Nashville is that it's a music hub that accepts and allows all genres to be present, and I think there's been a kind of fusing of genres lately that for me makes me really happy and excited.

My favorite place in the whole world is Nashville. Because it's my home, it's Music City. It's like, everybody there is so artistic and so creative, and nice! Everybody's really friendly.

The drought was the very worst when the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst.

If we continue to show young girls that they are being compared to other girls, we’re doing ourselves a huge disservice as a society. I surround myself with smart, beautiful, passionate, driven, ambitious women. Other women who are killing it should motivate you, thrill you, challenge you and inspire you rather than threaten you and make you feel like you’re immediately being compared to them. The only thing I compare myself to is me, two years ago, or me one year ago.
