Photographed under the lens of Emma Summerton and styled by Christine Centenera. The 25-year-old singer posed in elegant and romantic designer dresses from Chanel Couture, Schiaparelli Couture, Giambattista Valli, Atelier Versace and Elie Saab Couture.
Last week at the 2015 American Music Awards, Taylor won the Song of the Award for her hit single “Blank Space. In the inside interview she talks about her personal life and career. here are the most interesting parts:
On why it’s not a “good time” to be Taylor: “Oh, that is such an illusion. The public could change their minds about me tomorrow. If they decided that I was annoying tomorrow, they would use that angle and then a few other writers would use that and it would catch on. Things are good right now but I’m never going to be stupid, foolish or ignorant enough to think I have control over the public. All I can control is making good music. I am so lucky that people seem to like me right now, but in no way, shape or form is it a permanent thing. And I think being aware of that is what keeps you smart and is what keeps you on the game.”
On being a songwriter, not just a singer: “Being a songwriter is the reason why I approached all of this with such conviction. I don’t think that I would care 1/16th as much if I didn’t write every song lyric that you hear me sing. It drives everything, it drives creative ideas about what the music videos are going to be, it drives the production elements that are going to be on tour and the stories I want to tell. It absolutely determines everything; everything’s drawn from the lyrics.”
On her famous circle of friends: “My friendship group is one of my favourite things about my life right now. Our friends really have each others’ back. It’s the first time in my life that I’ve had anything strong like that in the friendship department.”
