Taylor Swift Says Being Lonely Made Her A Star

Taylor Swift is known for writing songs about heartbreak, and for the country star, that's what she knows.

“I started writing songs because I wasn't invited to parties and sleep-overs,” Swift revealed during an interview with the Daily Star Sunday. “I wasn’t noticed by the guy I like.”

This sadness, Swift claims, is what got her to where she is today.

''Writing songs has taught me a lot,” she explained. “One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is there's sometimes nothing you can do to make someone like you if they don't. It's okay to let that go.”

Although not everyone may like, or want to date Swift, she's confident in herself and in her singing abilities -- so much so that she never feels the need to strip down in the way that some of her peers might.

''I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off. It's not an urge I have,” she explained about not competing with other singers. ''For me 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. That's putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off.''

Swift is certainly honest in her music, and it appears to have paid off. Not only is Swift a 7-time Grammy winner, she's also won several awards including 15 American Music Awards, six Country Music Awards, and eight Billboard Music Awards.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Swift's estimated net worth is $150 million.
