Taylor Swift confessed that she copes with her emotions by writing songs. The 20-year-old Love Story singer revealed she can only get closure on something once she has processed what she’s feeling and transferred it into a song.
“Everyone in my life knows whenever something happens the only way it’s going to be over and finished and put to bed is if it’s written about,” she said. “Right now, the number one priority in my life is figuring out how to process what I’m feeling and translate it into musical form. It’s like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m confused right now. What’s the rhyme I could use here?”
The singer and songwriter also explained that planning things ahead means life is less stressful. “I think about my next move 10 steps ahead,” she said. “I’m always planning three awards shows ahead. For me, planning is a productive way of stressing out about your life.”
