Taylor Swift: tapping record Ask about beach house trip. Why impulsive?
What’s your biggest secret?
shifts uncomfortably Well, it's not exactly a secret, but I'm kinda obsessed with this old song called "Teardrops on My Guitar."
Taylor did you know the reason why you’re so popular is because you have lots of secrets?
fidgets with her guitar pick Yeah, well, I guess it's true. But sometimes, those secrets are really complicated.
Do you think you’re going to regret anything in your life?
gazes thoughtfully into the distance Regret? It's a tough word, you know? I mean, sure, there are things I wish I could change, but then again, I wouldn't be here right now if I hadn't made those choices.
You know what you did before you were famous, right?
pauses, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes Yeah, I do. Before I was all about fame and fortune, I was just a girl with a dream.
So tell me… what was your first ever concert?
Oh! My first concert, that's a fun story! smiles nostalgically It was a Justin Timberlake concert, actually.
He is also from Tennessee.
nods enthusiastically Yeah, he is! And man, seeing him live was like an out-of-body experience!
When you were backstage was he nice?
grins widely Oh, come on! You think I can't handle myself around celebrities? Backstage was like a secret world of its own!
playfully leans in closer, lowering her voice Okay, so, here's a little inside scoop for you. pauses
Backstage, I saw Justin Timberlake - you know, the superstar himself - and I just had to give him a little pep talk. grins mischievously
winks playfully Oh, you know, just some encouraging words.
leans back, chuckling Well, I told him that he was so good, he should consider putting on an underwater concert - just imagine the buzz!
laughs Yeah, right? And then, out of nowhere, Justin starts riffing on the idea, saying he could do an underwater show with glow-in-the-dark fish costumes.
Wow that would be a lot of work for the costume department.
grinning Oh, you have no idea! But hey, that's what makes it so exciting, right?
waves hands dismissively Oh, you know how the industry works.
winks Well, you never know, oryxm. Things have a funny way of happening in this industry. Who knows, maybe Justin will make it happen someday.
Now let’s talk about you.
leans forward eagerly Alright, fire away!
Why did you decide to be a country singer instead of pop?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, oryxm, it all started when I was just a little girl.
