Breakup0 Comments

Three years after the end of their romance, Swift has put Styles into the past. Source:

Taylor once thought she loved Harry, but since getting to know Calvin [Harris], she’s realised that Harry was never really more than a crush. The relationship was not nearly as serious as she thought it was at the time. Taylor was more than happy to delete Harry’s number. Calvin’s made her realize that boys like Harry are toxic for her and given her the confidence to cut him out of her life for good. She’s determined to show Calvin she’s serious about him and wants him to feel as secure as she does.

WSJ op-ed

Writes Article0 Comments

Swift writes opinion editorial piece for the Wall Street Journal. Swift covers her opinion on where the music industry be decades from now, album sales and the power of fans. Swift says she is very optimistic about the industry overall.

There are many (many) people who predict the downfall of music sales and the irrelevancy of the album as an economic entity. I am not one of them. In my opinion, the value of an album is, and will continue to be, based on the amount of heart and soul an artist has bled into a body of work, and the financial value that artists (and their labels) place on their music when it goes out into the marketplace.

Moves near Nashville

Home purchase/sale0 Comments

The entire Swift family moves to Hendersonville, Tennessee when she is fourteen, so Taylor can be close to Nashville and continue pursuing her music career. In a 2008 interview she says:

Living in Pennsylvania was great, and it was an incredible place to grow up, but I didn’t have any friends, so I was like, “Sure, let’s move. I’ll miss my friends even though I don’t have any.” So that wasn’t a big deal for me. But my dad had to transfer his work to Nashville. For a while, he was commuting back and forth and it was an incredible sacrifice for my parents to make and I’ve never forgotten it.
