Taylor Swift reflects on the outcome for some of her less-than-honorable enemies.
Context:
Swift knows firsthand that fame is a seesaw. ‘Nothing is permanent,’ she says. ‘So I’m very careful to be grateful every second that I get to be doing this at this level, because I’ve had it taken away from me before. There is one thing I’ve learned: My response to anything that happens, good or bad, is to keep making things. Keep making art.’ She considers. ‘But I’ve also learned there’s no point in actively trying to quote-unquote defeat your enemies,’ she says. ‘Trash takes itself out every single time.’
