The quote of the month is: “I've wanted one thing for me whole life and I'm not going to be that girl who wants one thing her whole life then gets it and complains.”


That is something that I truly love and admire about Taylor. All of the other celebrities complain about the paparazzi following them and all of the media attention they get, but Taylor just takes it. She waves to the paparazzi and smiles at them or she’ll just look down and try not to give her emotions away. She knows that they come with her job and because she is living her dream, and she realizes that she is fortunate enough to do so, she accepts them. I think a lot of other celebrities, young and old, could learn a lesson from Miss Swift about that.
