Needless to say, it’s been a whirlwind. “It’s pretty wild how much time has passed since my first Grammy nomination. I still feel pretty lucky to still be a part of this night,” Taylor previously told Entertainment Tonight in March 2021. “I think the advice I would give myself when I was younger is probably to, when things get hard, always focus in on how much I love music.”
“That has been the thing that, no matter what, has protected me from any of the other outside things that have made me feel strange,” she added. “I’ve never had a problem with the general fact of making music or playing music. I’ve never stopped loving it. It’s been the outside stuff that has made me feel down at times.”
Keep slaying, Tay!
