Taylor Swift Admits Privacy Concerns, Says She Never Feels Completely Safe
With all the privacy breaches that other young stars such as Jennifer Lawrence and Victoria Justice recently suffered, Taylor Swift is someone who knows how important it is to implement measures to keep her private activities out of the public's eye.
In her Rolling Stone cover interview, the "Red" singer claims that she never feels completely at ease and safe, especially because she's constantly worried about her privacy. She hates the idea that she can be caught in camera doing something mundane like changing clothes and have it blow out of proportions. She values her privacy too much, she shared.
"There's someone whose entire job is to figure out things that I don't want the world to see," shared Taylor. "They look at your career, they look at what you prioritize and they try to figure out what would be the most revealing or hurtful. Like, I don't take my clothes off in pictures or anything -- I'm very private about that. So it scares me how valuable it would be to get a video of me changing. It's sad to have to look for cameras in dressing rooms and bathrooms. I don't walk around naked with my windows open, because there's a value on that."
She also shared that she spent $5 million for a unit across her newly purchased apartment to house a security team to help her feel safer.
Her team just might be doing their work much better as she hoped because it was recently reported that the extra security for Taylor Swift back on the red carpet for "The Giver" caused a tangle with TV crews. TV crews were asked to stay behind in the felt ropes and the crews did not like it. Good thing everything was sorted out in the end, NY Daily News reports.
Still, with all these privacy concerns and fears of being caught doing something revealing and ridiculous,Taylor is as carefree and as happy as she can be about her life. She's very busy promoting her new album, "1989," due to be released in October. She is also very excited for it to finally go out and reveal her transition as a renowned country star who occasionally dabbles on pop to a straight pop star. She may be single and not even ready to mingle, but Taylor claims she's fine with the state of her life now.
"I really like my life right now," Taylor Swift shares. "I have friends around me all the time. I've started painting more. I've been working out a lot. I've started to really take pride in being strong. I love the album I made. I love that I moved to New York. So in terms of being happy, I've never been closer to that."
