Being famous at 20,how do you deal with the stardom? With time I realised that with stardom,there are a few unwanted things that come along. One of them is media interference. With the media,I dont try to be too fussy with privacy. My whole life is in front of the world. Have you composed all the songs of your new album. I write all the time. My thought process is about boys and unrequited love. Love is so interesting that we cant figure it out. So,I spent some time trying to figure out why love is so fascinating. Which is your favourite song from your third album,Speak Now? All the songs from the album are really dear to me. I dont have a favourite as such. How is Speak Now different from your earlier albums? Its little more mature. When I was 17,I wrote Fearless. And when I grew older,I wrote Speak Now. Its a new chapter of my life. Your grandmother was a professional opera singer. How did you then choose country music? I have learnt a lot from my grandmother and she was my idol. The reason why I chose country music is because I really love it. If you have to chose between films and music which field would you opt for? Music is and always will be my passion. Ever since I was a kid,I wanted to be a singer. At the age of 13,I would knock on record companies doors and introduce myself as a singer and a lyricist. I havent really thought about films. Dear John,a song in Speak Now,is being touted as a revelation of your affair with John Mayer. Is this true? Its true that I like to mention names in my songs. I like to give details about people I have come across and those dear to me. Dear John is a song very close to my heart. And thats all I can say. Have you ever heard any Indian musicians? Yes,I have heard A R Rahman. I think he has done a great job for Slumdog Millionaire. I would love to visit India someday.
