I think it\u2019s important to be self-aware about what people are saying about you, but even more so, be very aware of who you actually are, and to have that be the main priority.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"par-6_10\">This is a subject Swift has revisited in multiple songs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift\u2019s\u00a02014 album\u00a01989\u00a0marked her cross-over from country\u00a0music\u00a0to pop.
