“I’ve had countless opportunities to do some really bad things. Lets say I choose to hang out with the wrong crowd of people, they might influence me to make a bad decision, which would then hit the tabloids. Then people start combing through everything that I do trying to find the next mistake or misperception, which leads to more scrutiny. Like, if I go to a bar, even if I’m not drinking, whose to say that a source isn’t going to say that I was doing something I shouldn’t be doing? So it’s not only about my moral compass, but the moral compasses of other people that you don’t know.” — Taylor Swift in 2010. (A whole lot can change in 2 years)
