Taylor Swift Says 'There's Nothing That Hard' About Being Famous

'It's not that tough. I'm not complaining,' singer says of her life in the spotlight.

[artist id="2389485"]Taylor Swift[/artist] lives by the age-old rule "Write what you know." When she performed on the VMAs earlier this month, she stayed true to that mantra with her ballad [article id="1647988"]"Innocent,"[/article] which is presumably about her run-in with Kanye West at the 2009 VMAs. But in case you're wondering, Swift is totally over it.

"For me, I felt like performing VMAs was the best way to go out there and sing how I was actually feeling. Being there really helped put all that behind me," she explained to Fox News, adding that she doesn't feel like she's a victim to the trappings of fame. "There's nothing that hard about [being famous]. It's not that tough. I'm not complaining."

Now, Swift is focused on her next album, the highly anticipated [article id="1648777"]Speak Now,[/article] which she has said is made entirely of songs about her life. "I've written all the songs on it about things that have happened over the last two years, and a lot has happened over the last two years. It's been every eventful, a lot of adventures and misadventures," the Grammy winner explained. "I have a lot of fun doing this and getting to write songs about what happens in my life, but putting it all out there in your music -- all the details -- you're taking a chance with that because you are very vulnerable."

As evidenced by the album's lead single, [article id="1646711"]"Mine,"[/article] the 21-year-old Swift is still trying to figure out that whole love game. "Naturally, I want to write songs about love and relationships because I find it all very confusing," she said. "[When I meet someone new] I live somewhere between hope and fear. Hope that this time it could be different, and fear that it will turn out like it has before."
