Taylor Swift admits to suffering from insecurities

Taylor Swift struggles with self-awareness and insecurity.

The ‘Shake It Off’ hitmaker has confessed that while she accepts her success and admits it has made her much more confident than she was as a schoolgirl, she still feels inadequate at times.

She said: ”My confidence has always been really, really quiet, and really, really deep down. Because, as much as I have acquired confidence, I struggle with a self-awareness and insecurity that are just as loud.”

The 24-year-old beauty admits to being bullied by other girls at school that were uncomfortable with her passion for music and determination to succeed.

She explained to The Times: ”Every important part of my life was taken up my music. And it filled in the gaps when I didn’t have acceptance at school, when I didn’t have friends, because they just couldn’t relate to how much I loved music.

”I think they thought, ‘How annoying that she could think she could actually do that’. Even though I was never boastful about it.”

Her hit single ‘Shake It Off’ has allowed her to achieve one of her life-long dreams.

”Ed texted me last night and went, ‘I’m in a club, it’s 3am, they’ve played ‘Shake It Off’ three times in the three hours I’ve been here’. And I had this feeling of complete triumph, of victory.
