"Throughout all of the changes that have..." - Quote by Taylor Swift
Throughout all of the changes that have happened in my life, one of the priorities I've had is to never change the way I write songs and the reasons I write songs. I write songs to help me understand life a little more. I write songs to get past things that cause me pain. And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me when it's being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse.

“One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what's really happening to me, even if it's a tough pill to swallow for people around me.... I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.”
“'Love Story' I wrote on my bedroom floor in about 20 minutes.”
“Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less.”

“For those who know how to read, I have painted my autobiography”
“Style is such a personal thing; it's your way to be an individual.”
“Every man feels that his experience is unlike that of anybody else and therefore he should write it down-- he finds also that everybody else has thought and felt on some points precisely as he has done, and therefore he should write it down.”
