Telegraph interview
Swift is interviewed by the Telegraph. She talks about the state of music industry:
We all have to step up and make albums that are good, top to bottom, if selling albums is still important. It is to me, but a lot of artists have already given up on that. I have friends who just think it’s not attainable, which I feel is a very defeatist way to look at life.
Boyfriends:
I used to think it was important to find a boyfriend. I don’t feel that it is now. I just want to have as much fun and as many adventures as possible.
And her feud with Katy Perry:
I’m not giving them anything to write about, I’m never going to talk about her in my interview. It’s not going to happen…It’s not real if someone appears to never have any issues with anyone. I have my friends. I have enemies. I have bad days when I don’t want to go to a photo shoot, but I’m not going to show up four hours late. I’m going to be there on time.

ASOS cover
Swift appears on the cover of the January 2015 issue of ASOS magazine. She talks about needing mistakes to happen, her best friends, and dressing for girls.
When I’m getting dressed, it’s always based on what my friends will think. They are my number one priority and the opinions of girls are more important to me at this point in my life.
The Hollywood Reporter
Swift appears on the cover of a December 2014 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. She talks about the reaction to taking her music off Spotify.
I didn’t think that it would be shocking to anyone. With as many ways as artists are personalizing their musical distribution, it didn’t occur to me that this would be anything that anyone would talk about.

Wins billboard woman of the year award
0 CommentsSwift wins billboard woman of the year award for the second time in a row. During her acceptance speech Swift had this to say.
I turn 25 at midnight tonight, and I fully intend to celebrate like it’s 1989. I knew it was a bad joke when I wrote it, and I just did it anyway. Events like this where we have the most powerful people in music all gathered in one room, events like this give me hope that the right conversations will start to take place, and I invite you all to join in the conversation. The greatest moment of the year for me was when my fans went out and proved that if you provide them with a bold statement and pour your life into an album, they’ll buy it.
Taylor Swift interview
Walters interviews Swift about her good girl image and the responsibility she feels to her fans.
Well I do drink, I’m 25. But I did wait until I was 21 because I was worried about getting into trouble. I put everyone of my actions through a filter before I do them because that’s the way my life is. If that story gets out or some 10-year-old sees that I did that in a news article, like my actions do have ripples.
South Park holiday episode
South Park lampoons the recent Cosby sexual assault scandal on its holiday episode. The episode features Cosby and Taylor Swift singing a duet of Baby, It’s Cold Outside during which Cosby hands Swift a drink saying “That’s just some J-E-L-L-O”. The scene ends with Cosby coming on to Swift.
10 Most Fascinating People for 2014
Swift makes Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People list for 2014. Swift discusses how young fans influence her decisions in an interview with Walters.
I put every one of my actions through a filter before I do them because that’s the way my life is. That the reality… If I do something reckless or thoughtless or careless, or I treat someone badly, that doesn’t just affect me; it affects that person. Then, if that story gets out, or some ten-year-old sees that I did that in a news article… my actions do have ripples.

Billboard cover
Swift appears on the cover of a December 2014 issue of Billboard magazine. She talks about being happy single, genuine friendships, and celebrity relationships.
You’ll notice a lot of celebrity-type people tend to surround themselves with people whose lives revolve around them. You’ll have a posse of these exciting and fashionable cling-ons, and it’s because those celebrities need to be fawned over.

Lucky cover
Swift appears on the cover of the December 2014/January 2015 issue of Lucky magazine. She talks about fairy-tale romance, showing her belly button, and fame.
I don’t like showing my belly button. When you start showing your belly button then you’re really committing to the midriff thing. I only partially commit to the midriff thing—you’re only seeing lower rib cage. I don’t want people to know if I have one or not. I want that to be a mystery. As far as anyone knows based on my public appearances, they haven’t seen evidence of a belly button. It could be pierced. They have no idea. If I’m going to get some sort of massive tattoo, it’s going to be right next to my belly button because no one’s ever going to see that.
Does not want Swift to portray her
Mitchell does not want Taylor Swift to portray her in a film adaptation of the book Girls Like Us.
I squelched that! I said to the producer, ‘All you’ve got is a girl with high cheekbones.’ It’s just a lot of gossip; you don’t have the great scenes.
Wins Dick Clark Award at AMAs
0 CommentsDiana Ross presents Swift with the Dick Clark Award For Excellence at the AMAs.
To the fans who went out and bought over one million copies of my last three albums. What you did by going out and investing in music and albums, is you are saying that you believe in the same things that I believe in. Music is valuable, and music should be consumed in albums, and albums should be appreciated as art…. I am unbelievably happy that you want to have a glimpse into my life.
Makes Billboard history

Joel likes Swift as NYC ambassador
Joel tells USA Today that he supports the selection of Taylor Swift as the tourism ambassador for New York City.
I see the New York press going, ‘Taylor Swift is going to be the new New York representative?’ You snoots. Let her in. That’s what New York is all about. I say, ‘Welcome.’ I think she’s a talented songwriter. She catches a lot of junk, maybe because she’s so popular with young girls. But I like what she’s projecting. I respect what she’s doing.
