1
Do you think you're going to become a star and do you care if you do?
2
You know what?
3
It would be really cool.
4
Oh, speed?
5
Yes, ma 'am.
6
Okay, great.
7
Taylor, tell me how did the idea come about for your family to decide to move to Nashville?
8
Well, we had been coming into Nashville for months
9
and months to meet with people and just get acquainted with the town and the industry and everything.
10
We'd been coming here forever.
11
and we started noticing that when we would leave every single time it would get harder
12
and harder for us to get on the plane to go back
13
so my mom started looking online for like properties and stuff
14
and we found this house and we absolutely fell in love with it
15
so all of us were just like we gotta move here
16
how has it been it's been amazing because it wasn't just moving to a new house.
17
It was moving to a whole new life
18
and we didn't know anybody here which was kind of scary but then again it was totally awesome because you're starting over.
19
It was just really cool.
20
What has it been like since you moved?
21
It's been amazing.
22
We have totally fallen in love with this town and everybody in it, it just seems like there's such a genuine niceness here.
23
Everybody's so sweet and I just love it.
24
I love Nashville.
25
Yeah, what do you like particularly about Nashville?
26
How's the music community for you?
27
The music community is great because everybody's really talented and awesome but they're so laid -back too.
28
So it's just kind of like, you know, you see
29
Faith Hill in the grocery store and people are like, oh I saw
30
Faith Hill today.
31
You know, I don't know it's just really cool it's just a really great vibe here it's awesome.
32
When did you first realize that you wanted to be in a country music singer?
33
I think when I was six years old
34
and I first got the The Hand Rhymes album
35
I was just dead set that's what I'm gonna be I'm gonna be like her when I first got her album
36
Blue I was crazy over it I would play that album over and and over and over and again.
37
And I mean, I just was totally dead set that that was what I was going to do.
38
But you come from the north, so how did you fall into country music?
39
My mom's from Texas, so she was a country music freak.
40
And she brought me up on Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton.
41
And as soon as the Lian Rhymes album came out, that was totally right up my alley and I was totally into country after that.
42
It was all I wanted to listen to.
43
Tell me a little bit about your CD collection.
44
My CD collection is very interesting.
45
I've got you know so many country albums but then I've got like
46
Yellow Card and Simple Plan and D12 and like everybody Kelly Clarkson.
47
I mean I listen to everything for real like everything and
48
when my friends come over they're like my god you've got Tim McGraw next to Eminem what is wrong with you.
49
But it's just, I love music.
50
I love, I love, you know, pop melodies, but I love country stories and I love rock songs and I just love it all.
51
It's just awesome.
52
Do you think you're gonna become a star and do you care?
53
Huh?
54
Do you think you're gonna become a star and do you care if you do?
55
You know what?
56
It would be really cool.
57
But, I mean, it has been what I have been trying to do.
58
It's been what I've been living for for my entire life
59
is to just get to a point where I can do what I love so that people can see.
60
And if I don't, then I don't.
61
I mean, it wasn't meant to be.
62
I really believe that there was a plan and that things are supposed to happen the way that they're supposed to happen.
63
And I just, you know, I'm kind of just seeing how it goes.
64
I really, I'm at a great place in my life right now and hopefully things will keep moving and just keep changing.
65
But, you know, I'm just going to see what happens.
66
What does your music mean to you?
67
My music means everything to me.
68
When I go through something, I have to write a song about it.
69
I have to write a poem about it.
70
Writing is everything to me.
71
If I didn't have that as a release, I think I'd go crazy because, I mean, when I go through something,
72
that's how I relieve my stress.
73
I write a poem about it, I write a song about it.
74
I write in my journal every single night.
75
So music and writing all together, I really can't picture my life without it. So...
76
How did you start writing music?
77
How did I start writing music?
78
When I first picked up a guitar, I was 12, and that was almost three years ago.
79
Yeah.
80
I first picked up a guitar when I was 12, and by the time I'd learned three chords, I had written my first song.
81
So that was like a week after I picked up the guitar.
82
So I just started there and didn't stop.
83
What was that first song like that you wrote?
84
My first song was called Lucky You
85
and it was this cute little song written by a 12 year old
86
and I mean it will always be so close to me because it was the first time I ever realized,
87
look at this, look what you can do when you put these two things together.
88
It was just really cool.
89
Can you sing a little bit of it for us?
90
A little bit of it for us?
91
Okay.
92
It was like, Her mama named her lucky on a starlit night.
93
Her rabbit's foot in her pocket.
94
She dances inspired.
95
And the fact that she's different and yet she's the same.
96
It's just like this little cute song.
97
And I was like so in love with it.
98
Tell me what things or people that you hold dearest to your heart.
99
Well, I'm always going to be so close to my family because, you know, no matter what friends you have, your family's always been there.
100
And they've seen you in times when you've been totally this low, and then they've seen you when you've been so happy,
101
and they kind of know how to balance it out.
102
I'm always going to love my friends.
103
I have these awesome friends, and they're so cool, and they're really close to me.
104
But I think my number one's always going to be music because I don't know.
105
It's just kind of always been a part of me.
106
It's just awesome.
107
What does music do for you?
108
It depends on what day.
109
Sometimes it can make me totally happy.
110
Like after I write a song and I know it's just crazy and tight and awesome, then that lifts me up for that day,
111
maybe for the whole week.
112
It's a natural high.
113
But then on some days when you're dealing with something
114
and you're having to cope with something and trying to figure something out, sometimes it, you know,
115
it just kind of completes you because if you're going through a situation where you really don't know what's going on, question it in a song.
116
It just gets better.
117
I love passionate songs that are like desperate and crazy and awesome.
118
Was it hard making new friends?
119
Making new friends was surprisingly easy.
120
I was so scared going into it because I was, you know, I came from this little small town and everything.
121
But people here were so just open to everything.
122
They didn't think it was weird that I had this career, that I had this separate life.
123
They wanted to get to know me as a person, which was awesome.
124
And I'm so thankful for that.
125
I made friends really quickly and I got in with this group of girls who were just totally awesome and totally,
126
you know, backing me all the way, which is awesome.
127
But they know that it's not everything, you know.
128
They see me as a person too.
129
So, but they know how to deal with it.
130
They know all the little vocab words.
131
I'm doing a session right now.
132
I'm going to see my publisher.
133
You know, people who get to know me have to really learn, like, everything that I'm doing.
134
And it seems like, I'm like, oh, what are you doing?
135
Oh, I'm doing band practice.
136
I'm doing rehearsal.
137
I'm in a session.
138
I'm writing.
139
You know, that's a lot to learn for a friend.
140
Tell me about some of your favorite stars.
141
My favorite stars?
142
My number one's always going to be Leanne Rimes because she just has been there.
143
I feel like she's been there for me from the time I was six years old till now.
144
She's just always been my favorite, no matter what.
145
I think Britney Spears is awesome just because she has this aura that, you know, being around her in real life, people just change.
146
And she's just so just awesome that way.
147
She has this aura that people just can't resist.
148
And that's what I love about Britney Spears because she's just like nobody else.
149
and she's very different.
150
What's the hardest thing about doing what you do?
151
The hardest thing is putting the guitar down, I think.
152
And, you know, sometimes it's really hard when you know that you want to write a song about something, but you can't get it out.
153
I think that's the hardest thing.
154
but it seems just to be so much fun
155
that usually it's just so cool and fun that you just don't really see it as work at all.
156
I mean...
157
It's fun to say, yeah, I'm working after school.
158
I'm really going to a writing session.
159
I can't wait, you know?
160
It's like, it's not really work for me at all.
161
Can you tell me that story about the beach when you were really little?
162
When I was little, they couldn't shut me up.
163
I mean, I just would not stop singing, ever.
164
We had this beach house in Stone Harbor, and when I was, like,
165
four years old, I would just walk down the beach and go to different people's towels and just start singing.
166
And they'd just be like, um...
167
So I just, I have always been like crazy over music and I just, I think it was always there.
168
And I mean, you really couldn't shut me up when I was little.
169
What's the scariest thing for you about this business?
170
The scariest thing I think is failure.
171
because it's so common and it happens so much.
172
I think I would just be so scared that, you know, nothing would ever happen.
173
But then that was what was meant to happen, I think.
174
So I think it's just always going to be okay.
175
That's how I'm seeing it is just try to get where you want to go, but if it doesn't happen, then your life is still okay.
176
But I'm really, really, really, really, really trying.
177
What happens if you, and I know you just kind of said this, but what happens if you don't become a star?
178
You don't actually, you're not able to make a living by making music?
179
If I'm not a star, then I definitely want to be a writer.
180
I mean, I know that what I want to do is music because everyone's like, yeah, you should do what you love.
181
And this is what I love.
182
This is what I feel I was meant to do
183
because I think it means something when you can't put a guitar down and you can't stop writing and you can't stop,
184
you know, thinking about new ideas for songs.
185
I'd be a writer for other artists.
186
I'm just totally infatuated with this business and everything about it.
187
Tell me again about the first time you started playing guitar.
188
Well, when I first picked up a guitar, it was just like magic.
189
And the guy who worked on our computer actually came over and taught me a few chords on it.
190
And as soon as I learned three chords, I never put it down.
191
And I would play for four hours a day just sitting there playing the same chords over
192
and over again until my fingers were like raw and gross.
193
And people would just be like, why are you playing for so long?
194
Oh my God, you need to just put it down.
195
My mom would be like, put it down.
196
It's okay.
197
You can put it down.
198
You've been playing long enough today.
199
And I just played until I got good.
200
I wanted to be good.
201
And usually when I really, really want something, I am going to try as hard as I can until I can get it.
202
And I really, really wanted to learn to play guitar.
203
What else do you like to do besides write music and play music?
204
Well, I love to hang out with my friends.
205
And we just sit in my room and blast the music and dance around and be weird and crazy.
206
And I love whether we're going to the movies or we're going to the games.
207
We just have a lot of fun.
208
I love my high school.
209
It's so weird that I love school, because I never did before.
210
But my high school is so awesome.
211
And I go to Hendersonville High School.
212
And it's just totally cool.
213
It's like a family.
214
It's just really cool.
215
OK.
216
Okay.
217
Anything else that you like to do?
218
I like shopping.
219
And I like sometimes we go out on the boats and stuff which is fun because we live on the lake. And...
220
That's fine.
221
What is your sort of big dream for yourself?
222
My big dream is to be, for some little girl, what Leanne Rhymes was to me.
223
To be someone's role model and be someone's inspiration.
224
That would just be so cool for me if I could reach out to people like that without even knowing them.
225
I just think that's amazing that that could happen.
226
So that would be my big dream.
227
Tell us a little bit more.
228
Well, my grandmother on my mother's side was this famous opera singer in Puerto Rico.
229
And on the other side of my family, they wrote poems.
230
Big poets and writers and awesome.
231
And then on my dad's side, they all played instruments by ear.
232
They played banjo, and my grandfather was this crazy organ player.
233
And I think it all just kind of mixed together.
234
And I'm so happy that it did because I'm loving this.
235
So you were basically the reason your family picked up and moved from Pennsylvania to Nashville.
236
Tell me a little bit more about that again.
237
Well, we just fell in love with Nashville as a city.
238
As, you know, this part of the country is just so amazing.
239
And the fact that I have to work here is just kind of a little thing.
240
I mean, the fact that I work here is the reason that we came here initially.
241
It's kind of what planted the little idea in our heads.
242
But I think it was a total joint decision in the whole family.
243
We just all fell in love with it here.
244
But did you one night come to your mom and dad and say, I would like to move there, would you?
245
Or did you remember?
246
Actually, they came to me.
247
They're like, we found this house that we're in love with.
248
We're just going to go look at it.
249
You know, it doesn't mean anything.
250
We all walked in and we're all like, yeah, we're moving here.
251
So it's just been amazing.
252
And about the people that you've been working with, you know, the co -writers and producers, etc., how's that been?
253
It's amazing.
254
I love that this town has so many talented people in it,
255
because talented people don't always have to be kind and sweet.
256
And all the people that I've worked with have been just beautiful people on the inside
257
and so nurturing and so kind and I was just blown away by that, that they could be writing these hits for people
258
and still be the same person you can tell that they started out being.
259
You don't get big heads.
260
It's really cool.
261
Is it going to be hard for you
262
if you say have to start going out on tour and not going to school anymore or for a while?
263
Well, I do love school, but I love this.
264
You know, I love music and going out on tour and traveling,
265
it's all just fun for me because it's seeing more places that I've never been and traveling with a band.
266
And when you have a band, it's like a new family.
267
It'll be hard to leave school if a tour comes along, but I mean, I love performing live.
268
It's one of the most fun things that I do.
269
It's totally a rush.
270
And to be on tour and to be performing live, like, every night, that's what I love.
271
I love it.
272
So I think it would be really fun.
273
Do you think much about, I mean, do you think about your future much,
274
or are you just living in the present?
275
I think about my future every day.
276
I think about what's going to happen and I plan ahead and I'm totally one of those people who's like, okay, what's going to happen then?
277
And then what's going to happen then?
278
You know, I'm just neat freak, anal, just all that stuff.
279
But part of me is thinking now
280
that I'm just going to live one day at a time
281
because it's so much fun and I want to just enjoy it for everything that it is.
282
Do you feel young?
283
Do people say you're so young?
284
Do people expect this young kid to come in who doesn't really know what she's doing?
285
That happens a lot.
286
It really does when I go into a writer's meeting and, you know, they're really nice.
287
And then I leave and they tell my publisher and my mom, you know, we thought she was going to come in here and be like,
288
you know, we'd have to write a song for her.
289
And I'm like, you thought that?
290
So there are a lot of stereotypes for young people.
291
but I really think that if you prove yourself then people people will see past your age.
292
But you keep like this there's this feeling like wow I can't this is me here?
293
Exactly.
294
I mean every time I look I went into the store and my picture was on the wall in Abercrombie.
295
I kind of freaked me out.
296
I mean my friends would tell me like how they would go to the store be like oh hey Taylor
297
and the people in the store would be like you're talking to the wall but I mean it was totally cool.
298
I had a great experience doing that.
299
Do you feel that way about everything though?
300
Like every new thing that you get to do?
301
Wow, now I just got to meet so -and -so and now I'm on a photo shoot.
302
Now I'm doing, is it sort of like that for you?
303
Yeah, but it doesn't, I don't feel like it changes me as a person.
304
I'm still the same person that I started out as being, you know, my picture's just on the wall.
305
It's not a, it's not that big of a deal for me.
306
I don't think it makes me above anybody else.
307
It really doesn't.
308
What about your name?
309
Is that your name?
310
Taylor Swift?
311
That's my name.
312
Yeah, that's the one on my birth certificate.
313
I don't think I would ever change my name.
314
I want you to tell me more about your family, your brother.
315
Tell me about, do you get along with your whole family?
316
Well, my family is very, very, very close.
317
We are so close -knit, and we, you know, we have to sit down dinners usually, and we're always together.
318
We're all headstrong, though, so, you know, we have our moments where we clash, but everybody else does, too.
319
So I feel like we're just kind of a normal family.
320
It's not, it's just like everybody else.
321
I'm really close to my brother.
322
We can have the worst fights sometimes, but ultimately we have a really, really close bond.
323
Okay, I promise that's it.
324
I promise, I promise.
325
I promise.
326
Just realize.
327
I almost got a little mad.
328
It's a Christmas card?

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
