When Taylor Swift first came on to the music scene, she was 16 years old. And you know, a lot of times when young girls try to transition from being a young girl into a young woman, into a full grown woman, sometimes that transition can be hard, but I think we would all agree that Taylor Swift has made that transition beautifully. But back then when Taylor thought about growing up, that's what inspired her to write this song, Never Grow Up. Never Grow Up is a song about the fact that I don't quite know how I feel about growing up. It's tricky. Growing up happens without you knowing it. Growing up is such a crazy concept because a lot of times when you're younger, you wish you were older. And I look out into a crowd every night and I see a lot of girls that are my age and going through exactly the same things as I'm going through. Then I see every once in a while, I look down and I see a little girl who's seven or eight, and I just wish I could tell her all of this. There she is like becoming who she's going to be and forming her thoughts and dreams and opinions. And I wrote this song for those little girls. Well, like I said, I think that Taylor has transitioned into a young woman beautifully, gracefully, and so perfectly. Here it is off Speak Now celebrating its eighth year of release. This is Never Grow Up on Big Machine Radio.
