Taylor Swift says, “I don’t want people to think of me as sexy.” And it’s not just a career decision. “It’s just a life decision. I like wearing pretty dresses and I like trying out new styles but I don’t feel comfortable taking my clothes off. I wouldn’t wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life so I don’t think it’s necessary to wear that stuff in photo-shoots.” She’s also not into drinking: “I worry I might come off in a way that I can’t control.” And! She continues to draw inspiration from her relationships: “I always write songs about my life. And if you’re horrible to me I’m going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That’s how I operate.” Well, damn. [Telegraph]
