Taylor pens letter to fans on perils of celebrity life
Singer Swift SINGER Taylor Swift penned a heartfelt letter to fans as she released her sixth studio album Reputation on Friday.
The Shake It Off hitmaker unveiled the follow-up to 2014’s 1989 after months out of the spotlight.
She revealed her highly publicised row with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian as she told fans “my mistakes have been used against me”.
She said: “We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them they have chosen to show us.”
“Ultimately we post photos online to curate what strangers think of us. But then we wake up, look in the mirror at our faces and see the cracks and scars and blemishes, and cringe.”
The 27-year-old reflects on her 12 years in music business.
Taylor added: “On the beautiful, lovely side of that, I’ve been so lucky to make music for a living and look out into crowds of loving, vibrant people.
“On the other side of the coin, my mistakes have been used against me.”
