We learned more from a 3 minute record than we ever learned in school
I’ve never been shy or secretive with the fact that if you walk into my life, you may be walking onto a record.
I love it when people say things to me in public and want to meet me, because I want to meet them! Early on, my manager told me, 'If you want to sell 500,000 records, then go out there and meet 500,000 people.'
I'm Taylor, I'm 11 and I want a record deal.
I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What's the point?
I've written all my songs on every single one of my records, and that's what's been fun about looking back.
When I'm writing a record, I kind of don't listen to much music. Just because I want to be inspired solely on the emotion; just based on how it feels.
So many girls come up and say to me, 'I have never listened to country music in my life. I didn't even know my town had a country-music station. Then I got your record, and now I'm obsessed.' That's the coolest compliment to me.
I've made sure that in any situation and with any record label, I'm allowed to write my own music.
A development deal is where they're giving you recording time and money to record, but not promising that they'll put an album out.
