Being miserable at school helped Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift puts her success down to her being miserable at school.

Taylor wrote her first song when she was only 10 years old – because she was unhappy at school.

‘The one thing I had to hold on to was that I could go home afterwards and write a song about it,’

‘If someone hurts you and you write a song about it, and that song is going to be played on the radio and everywhere… well that’s about the best revenge you can possibly imagine.’

‘My mum [used to say]…”People just aren’t supposed to figure out what they want to do when they’re 11.” But I did – and I’ve never altered,’ she told the Daily Telegraph magazine.

‘Now I’m really pleased that I was miserable at school. After all, think what might have happened if I’d been happy. I could still be in Pennsylvania.’
