Taylor Swift has never tried to force her opinions onto the world, nor suggest that she is a font of wisdom. Advice, she feels, should be given when asked for, and will, therefore, be all the more appropriate. All through her career, she has provided advice in this way, and the resulting body of Taylor Swift quotes is a remarkable testimony to her experience and beliefs.
Swift showed very early promise as a singer of country songs, performing from the age of nine. She learned the guitar and persuaded her family to move to Tennessee so she could further her career. She holds numerous records for achievements in music, has received many awards, has been named among the top 100 most influential people on more than one occasion, and was named as Woman of the Decade and Artist of the Decade in the 2010s.
Her musical influences are many and include Shania Twain and Stevie Nicks. Swift’s musical style has evolved from country to pop and her fans number in the millions. Beyond music, she considers Michelle Obama to be an important role model.
Taylor Swift has a firm belief that we should all be ourselves. She tempers this by saying that we must be respectful of others, honest and strong-willed. Strength of purpose will carry a person through life and see them achieve great things. Do not, she says, be average. Stand out and be the best person that you can.
Her view of life is simple. We each have one life, and we must make sure we do not waste it. Life is there to be enjoyed and to be fulfilled. Only we can control what happens in our lives, and must not allow others to judge us or create false opinions of us.
To live a life that has meaning, we must be prepared to learn from mistakes and failures and deal with them without getting discouraged or distracted from our path. No-one should tell you what you can’t do, and you must not let a mistake tell you that either. When someone tries to stop you from doing something, be eager to prove them wrong. Be keen, too, to show that your mistakes won’t hold you back.
Taylor Swift puts great store in happiness. Seeking happiness is a wonderful ambition, and everyone should see it as an aim. Success without happiness is a meaningless achievement. Aiming for happiness can go along with other goals too. Swift doesn’t rest when she has achieved one goal, but picks up another and pursues that with the same vigor and determination.
