Taylor Swift Says She Has Fun Poking Back at Critics

I don't know if there's been another songwriter that's had to take that into consideration as much as you have. The public perception, how they're receiving it, how they're interpreting it. Yeah, like anything you say, they're like, oh, easy for you to say. But if you're sitting in the studio, how does that not block your creativity? How does that not slow down your process, having to think about how it's going to be interpreted? I don't know. Sometimes it fuels it. Sometimes when people are mocking me, it's really fun to mock them back. Sometimes I like to just use words that they have to look up in order to talk s*** about. But I go through several processes and coping mechanisms that I've gone through over the years, and one of them is saying, you chose this, you chose this every day. You could have opted out of this any day before it got unmanageably big.
