Ah yes, the joys of social networking. Over the months I’ve become FB friends with Taylor Swift –yes, the real one. Indeed, I sent her my “Sweeter Than Fiction” review and got a thank you. She changes her url from time to time but we loyal 500 Swiftbook fans tend to find her one way or the other!
Something of a pleasure, given how big a fan I am… I feel like a giggling schoolgirl!! However, I am not a jerk and I don’t hastle the young superstar. Indeed while I don’t know what happens behind the scenes or whether somebody is monitoring out all the whackos but from what I see, her FB friends treat her respectfully and from a distance.
All of which leads me to Taylor’s “Ask FM” page, which she includes on her Facebook page and which I am gonna reprint here (with the hope that I don’t get sent to Swift exile for my temerity!!) I went back a month to piece this together and this despite my question, whether Taylor would consider performing an acoustic theater tour, got ignored.
So until we get big enough to score a phoner, Ladies And Gentlemen, without further ado, the not even slightly exclusive Taylor Swift Q&A!!!!
Who/what inspired you to star in the movie “The Giver”?
It’s what I’ve been looking for- an amazing cast and a small role.
You like this
does bridgit and your other friends have an askfm?
Sadly, they don’t. 🙁
yes, you should totally teach drama! I loved the way how you said..”I SEE DEAD PEOPLE” in your interview with Bobby Bones! :P Samantha (Sam) Gray
Haha, thank you! 🙂
Is it “this life is sweeter than fiction” or “this love is sweeter than fiction”?
It’s “This life is sweeter than fiction” 🙂
Inspiration behind the song for One Chance?
Getting to see the struggles and triumphs of someone who never stopped chasing what he was after really inspired me. It’s a beautiful movie and I just wanted to share it with as many people as I could.
when will you reply back to the messages we’ve sent to you on kik?
I’ve been trying to work on that! I’m sorry. I’ll try to reply back to all of the messages as soon as I possibly can!
Would you rather teach , drama or dance ? 🙂
Probably drama.. 🙂
do you have another twitter other than taylorswift13?
Actually, yes I do! It’s @xCatLady13x 🙂
Hi, Taylor! Your new song Sweet Than Fiction is amaaaaazing!!!!!! What are all of the lyrics? I’m still not sure if i’m singing them right.. Just wanna make sure!!! (-:
Hey, there! Thank you so much:) Here are the lyrics:
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground (oh, oh)
Only sound, only sound that you hear is “no”,
You never saw it coming,
Slipped when you started running,
And now you come undone and I, I, I
Seen you fall, seen you crawl on you knees (eh, eh)
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade
Wish I could make it better,
Someday you won’t remember,
This pain you thought would last forever and ever
[Chorus]
There you’ll stand, ten feet tall,
I will say, “I knew it all along”
Your eyes, wider than distance,
This life is sweeter than fiction
Just a shot, just a shot in the dark (oh, oh)
All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes,
They never saw it coming
You hit the ground running,
And now you’re on to something
I, I, I say
What a sight, what a sight when the light came on
Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong
And in this perfect weather,
It’s like we don’t remember,
The rain we thought would last forever and ever
[Chorus]
There you’ll stand, ten feet tall
I will say, “I knew it all along”
Your eyes, wider than distance,
This life is sweeter than fiction
There you’ll stand next to me
All at once, the rest is history
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction (than fiction)
[Bridge]
I’ll be one of the many saying,
“Look at you now, look at you now” (now)
I’ll be one of the many saying,
“You’ve made us proud, you’ve made us proud” (proud)
I’ll be one of the many saying,
“Look at you now, look at you now” (now)
I’ll be one of the many saying,
“You’ve made us proud, you’ve made us proud” (proud)
And when they call your name,
And they put your picture in a frame,
You know that I’ll be there time and again
‘Cause I loved you then
When you hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground (oh, oh)
Only sound, only sound that you heard was “no”
Now in this perfect weather,
It’s like we don’t remember,
The rain we thought would last forever and ever
[Chorus]
There you’ll stand, ten feet tall,
I will say, “I knew it all along” (all along)
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction
There you’ll stand, next to me
All at once, the rest is history
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction (fiction, sweeter than fiction, it’s sweeter yeah, it’s sweeter, sweeter, sweeter than fiction)
Enjoy! 🙂
