Press room and backstage interviews at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards

May 20, 2013

They don’t know about me and you, Taylor Nation.

Here at the Swift Agency, just a guy who notices a thing or two once in a while, we think that Taylor Swift is actually a well-mannered and very centered human being who’s in control of her emotions. In other words, she’s far more mature and professional than the people who make up stuff about her. The media seems to be really quick in portraying her as emotional. She is emotional. She faces her feelings head on. So, contrary to what you might think, she’s actually in control of herself far better than people give her credit for. Run away from your feelings and see how well centered you are.

The Princess in Red had quite a memorable night at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. She picked up Top Billboard 200 Album for RED and the top award of the night, Billboard Artist of the Year, plus six previously won accolades for a grand total of eight awards.

Here’s the press room interview. The first question is about a T-Pain collab. The second one is if the billboard awards have a special meaning. The third one is the irrelevant question about the milestone award and Justin Bieber (I admire how she dodges that obvious trap question without batting an eyelash).  The fourth question is about her 22 performance. The fifth question is about her relationship with her fans. Video courtesy of Billboard Magazine:
