Being a celebrity definitely comes with its perks, but there are huge risks to living your life in the public eye.
Safety is always a big concern, and Taylor Swift just got real about it.
Being a celebrity definitely comes with its perks, but there are huge risks to living your life in the public eye.
Safety is always a big concern, and Taylor Swift just got real about it.
Elle published Taylor's essay titled, "30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30."
She details the joys of command tape instead of nailing holes in her walls, and lists some of her favorite recipes and cocktails.
After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, she got real about how scared she was to go on her Reputation stadium tour.
"There was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe," she added.
As someone who went to three of her shows — I can say with complete confidence that she pulled it off. Security was definitely tight, but it was for a reason.
She even admitted that she carries QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is used to treat gunshot or stab wounds.
"You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things," she explained.
There was an instance last year where somebody had broken into her home while she was away, and proceeded to shower, and sleep in her bed.
"Every day I try to remind myself of the good in the world, the love I’ve witnessed and the faith I have in humanity. We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears," she finished.
It's sad that this is her reality, and it doesn't hurt to take precautions, but you can't spend your life looking over your shoulder and living in fear of something going wrong. That's no way to live. It sounds like Taylor is on the right track.
