Tess Explains It All

Taylor was appropriately amazing and emotional during her performance of “All Too Well” — which is supposedly about her ex Jake, who rudely stole her scarf and didn’t give it back.

You lick your lips, you taste like years of being alone.

In any industry, there’s a double standard. The moment you mess up, it’s over, your reputation spreads. No one takes you seriously. A man could do whatever the hell he wants to do — beat people up, do drugs, cuss people out, sleep with 10,000 women a night — and be cool, be held in praise. It’s almost like, being a woman, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Taylor you look lovely tonight

If a mad scientist were asked to create the perfect combination of the beauty of a Victoria’s Secret Angel with the ultimate talent and creativity from today’s music scene, the answer would be simple; Taylor Swift.

A girl from Nashville sings… and the world listens.

So to the CMA, to whoever made this choice, you’re not only rewarding my hard work and exhaustion. You’re rewarding the hard work and exhaustion of my family and my label and anyone who works with me and most of all, the fans, who filled stadiums. I love you. On behalf of all of those people, thank you, thank you, I love you. You’ve made me feel so special right now. Thank you.

The Japanese say you have three faces.
The first face, you show to the world.
The second face, you show to your close friends, and your family.
The third face, you never show anyone. It is the truest reflection of who you are.

People will love you. People will hate you. And none of it will have anything to do with you.

The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.
