EXCLUSIVE: Taylor Swift: I Was Bullied in High School
Tuesday November 18, 2008
 Before she was famous, Taylor Swift used to get picked on in high school. "[Growing up on a Christmas tree farm] was basically a shunning – and that’s never a good thing, you know?" Swift, 18, says in the December issue of Women's Health. "A lot of girls thought I was weird. Actually, the word they liked to use was annoying," Swift adds. "I'd sit at their lunch table and they'd move to a different one." Check out other stars who were bullied. She hasn't become more popular since then. "It's funny - I thought my contact list in my phone would grow if I was in the music industry," she says. "But I had more people in my phone book when I was in high school!" The newly single star (who was dumped by Joe Jonas in a 27-second phone call) still has admirers - albeit sometimes unwanted. While recently shopping at Victoria's Secret, "I look[ed] up and there are, like, 15 people looking at me, with camera phone out, waiting to take a picture of which kind of underwear I'm going to buy. "[They were saying], 'Think she's a small or an extra small?" she says. "I wanted to be like, 'Uh guys? I can hear you." Normally Swift doesn't have to worry about people bothering her in her Nashville hometown. "Keith and Nicole live there. Tim and Faith live there," she says. "We can all go to the grocery store in our sweatpants because the paparazzi have no idea Nashville exists." Swift moved with her family from Pennsylvania when she was 14. Her mom, Andrea, says : "It was never about 'I want to be famous.' Taylor never uttered those words. It was about moving to a place where she could write with people she could learn from." She wrote her first song when just 8 years old. And while bff Miley Cyrus' first job was cleaning toilets, Swift earned enough cash from her writing skills to buy herself a Lexus 430 SC convertible, which she still drives.

Taylor Swift is amazing. I look up to her so much. She's an inspiration to me and a lot of other girls my age. Keep up the good work, Taylor! And, um, if she couldn't sing, how come she had the most albums bought in 2008?? Yeahh, that's what I thought.

it kinda makes me laugh how everyones saying shes horrible, and that they're 'mature' and think taylor is a spoilt brat. guess we know who the bullies are, near enough everyone is bullied in one way or another, it is true that the only people who aren't bullied are the populars, i live in England, and its the same here.. at the end of the day.. whos made something of themselves [taylor] and who's claiming fame by saying they 'knew' her. [bullies] everyone just GET OVER YOUSELVES!!

That Liar! I went to school with her and her dad was not a farmer! He was a stock broker and her family had alot more money than anyone who lived in Hendersonville...But she was annoying though. There were times when she would run around school with her polaroid camera taking pictures of random people like an inch from their face.

I went to a Brad Paisley concert last year in Chattanooga which was in a arena and was sold out. Taylor Swift was the opening act and she told the audience that she wanted to meet anyone and everyone who was interested in talking to her after the show. My daughter wanted her picture taken with her and we stood in line for over two hours and she got her pic with Taylor and an autograph along with every last person in line. I'm a fan of Taylor's for that because she really is a person who is devoted to her fans, her music, and is deserving of everything she accomplishes. We need more like her, she's real!!!

She's annoying and self-serious. What does she know about love and life at 18 years old? See her on the American Music Awards last night? Sooooo dramatic.

9:21 PM Tonya Says: Ok, so I went to school with her and she was a little weird, but like, in a good way. She's just tall and skinny and goofy.. But she was the sweetest girl! She's for real people. Very genuine. We weren't like best friends but she was always cool to me. Other people picked on me cause I'm like, the chubby friend but she never did. I wish her the best of luck, she's really talented and anyone who says different is probably just jealous. ******************** It shows maturity and empathy on her part which all bullies lack.

Mean girls everywhere. Shows real good parenting skills. Success is sweet revenge. You are doing just fine. No need for the haters in life. The ones that bully are the ones with no maturity or class.

who the eff are the jonas people?? maybe it's because i'm not a teen and am in my late twenties that idk who these people are. i DO KNOW that taylor swift is one of my favorite artists and w/her incredible looks and incredible talent...she also comes across in interviews as having a big heart...she will have no problem finding someone far exceeding this lil guy jonas (whoever he is). her career will outlast his too since i'm guessing these guys are something like the hanson brothers were years ago??? and where are they now??? EXACTLY. ---> I just saw Hanson in concert actually! LOL! They are alive a kickin! All are married w/ kids and still selling out small venues. Hanson is so under rated! The Jonas Brothers on the other hand are waaay over rated! They need to go away! Plus Hanson was/is MUCH better looking! lol! :-)

I think this girl is a great role model and a perfect example of what a celebrity should be like. Humble and real not hipacritical, over the top, and money hungry! I hope she is very successful!
