Taylor Swift Talks Surviving Heartaches

Taylor Swift got a tad emotional on her Tokyo tour. She told her fans that she went through a lot of “rainstorms” that made her stronger.

Daily Star UK reports that while Taylor was onstage in Tokyo, she shared to her fans the many heartbreaks she suffered and survived. She said the pain she endured actually did her some good, because it made her stronger and interestingly, made her “clean.” This is why she wants her fans to emulate her, and look into the mirror and see who they are and who they are not. She told her fans that they should not let their mistakes define them.

Taylor even asserted that contrary to what people usually think, they are not “damaged or muddy” for failing to explore something. The “Red” singer also called on people to not let other people’s opinions define them, especially if these are the opinions of people who do not know them. Instead, she said all people are the products of what they have learned in life. That said, going through something terrible is just bound to make people stronger, she added. "you are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking," she said.

Apart from talking about heartaches and getting stronger from pain, she said she had a lot of failed romantic relationships prior to Calvin Harris, the guy she is currently dating, because of her high expectations. She explained that watching romantic movies and her own parents’ love for each other made her have high standards when it comes to how men should treat her. "I learned a lot about love from movies I watched when I was a little kid, so that might explain a lot," she explained.

In a recent interview with Elle magazine, she also shared how she moved on from the guys who broke her heart, particularly hinting at Harry Styles, who is based in London. She also used the word “clean” again to describe herself after moving on. She said that at one point, she got used to not calling the specific person at night and she replaced all the habits she formed with the person with new ones. "You replace these old habits with new habits, like texting your friends in a group chat all day and planning fun dinner parties and going out on adventures with your girlfriends and then all of a sudden one day you're in London and you realize you've been in the same place as your ex for two weeks and you're fine." She said at the point, all she can think of is that she is “clean.”
