Taylor Swift is just going to have a salad. What she really wants is fried chicken. Or at the very least, fried chickenon her salad.
“I think about food literally all day every day,” she says, settling her lithe, 5-foot-11 frame into an outdoor booth at the BBQ joint across the street from her high-rise condo in Nashville. “It’s a thing.”
Even so, she orders the greens with grilled chicken, water to drink. Unlike her pop princess peers, Swift, 22, has made a habit of smart choices since she appeared on the music scene at 14, a winsome song-writing prodigy whose second album, Fearless, released when she was just 18, became the most-awarded album in country music history.
Swift has accomplished all this sans the manufactured coarseness that informs virtually every other modern female musical artist. Not for her the pole dancing in Daisy Dukes, or shooting cream from prosthetic boobs, or role-playing bondage, or striving to tick off the Catholic Church. After Kanye West crashed the then-19-year-old’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Katy Perry tweeted that it was as if West had “stepped on a kitten.”Since then, Swift has dominated the pop-country landscape, dwarfing idols Faith Hill and Shania Twain and becoming not only the fastest-selling female artist ever, but also the youngest winner of both the Album of the Year Grammy and Billboard’s Woman of the Year. In 2010, Swift sold out the Staples Center in two minutes. She reportedly earned $57 million last year alone.
In the ensuing years, Swift has made an art out of diffident modesty—a restraint that appeals not only to her legion teen fans, but to their parents as well, happy to have a break, however brief, from booty-shaking. Swift doesn’t drink or swear or even rat her hair. She briefly considered inking a heart tattoo on her foot, but the feeling passed and she is glad for it. Usually dressed in demure frocks and ponytails, polka dots in lieu of cleavage, Swift has gone for girl power with a lowercase g, class over sass, an antidote to the been-there-done-him hyper-sexualized nihilism of her rivals. At this year’s Grammys, she performed in a sack dress. And granny shoes.
