Taylor Swift’s Advice If YOU Want To Be A STAR!
(Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)
Do YOU dream of being a superstar like Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez or Taylor Swift? Do you practice singing in your room and use your hairbrush as a microphone? Do you have your acceptance speech all planned out for the Teen Choice or MTV Movie Awards? If you do, then Taylor Swift thinks YOU should follow your heart and go for it! Taylor didn’t become one of the most famous singers on the scene by sitting back and not reaching for the stars, “If you’ve got a dream, it’s your responsibility to make it happen,” she says, “Do your research and find a way to be different than everyone else. Devote your time, devote your energy, and devote your talent. The rest is luck.” She also thinks it’s really important to be grateful and humble while trying to ‘make it’ “In order to develop and reach goals,” Taylor went on to say, “I think it’s important that you NEVER feel entitled to them. Take it one step at a time, because its very rare people just get ‘discovered.’ It takes meeting lots of people and spreading the word and making connections and following paths that are sometimes dead ends. No matter what happens in life, no matter how many records you sell, be good to people…Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” Great advice, Taylor!

I want to be a singer also. It’s not that i just want to be famous, because at some point, every girl does. I just want to do what i love doing; singing! I’m working on writing my own songs now, learning how to play guitar and i have like 37 posters of you on my wall! You are my role model and I’ve been singing since i was 5 years old in front of crowds! You are amazing and you should make a music video for I’d Lie. That is my favorite song from you. Keep up the good work!

Shes’s totally right! Love her…
Lately, I’ve been singing a lot in my room, following the letters on the internet, I just love it, it’s like my ”hobby”, and I’ve been dreamin’ about be famous… I think my friends never imagined that about me, haha, because I’m so shy… but ok, it’s time for me to change!
