The Daily Beast: Do you consider yourself a feminist? Taylor Swift: I don’t really think about things as guys versus girls. I never have. I was raised by parents who brought me up to think if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life. Are we surprised that Taylor Swift doesn’t […]
Sometimes we think that the problems we have are not to be compared to anyone else, and we envy celebrities and think – what if our life had been like that? What we don’t know is that theirs is a success story, but we don’t stop to think how did they get there? We would […]
Taylor Swift may have the number one album in the country right now, but she still loves a (relative) bargain — half of her outfit above, specifically her scarf and blanket cape, are from Topshop or this website where you can also find their best seller weighted blankets!
