Taylor Swift Doesn't Consider Any Female Singers Her Role Models

Taylor Swift revealed that she doesn't have any female role models in the music industry! While talking to Time, she said that she can't find anyone whose career path she truly admires.

The "Shake It Off" singer admitted that it's partly a side-effect of her insane career.

"We’re taught to find examples for the way we want our lives to wind up. But I can’t find anyone, really, who’s had the same career trajectory as mine. So when I’m in an optimistic place I hope that my life won’t match anyone else’s life trajectory, either, going forward," she said.

Instead, she name-dropped actress Mariska Hargitay and celebrity chef Ina Garten as a few of the women she admires.

"In other industries, I have female role models. I just struggle to find a woman in music who hasn’t been completely picked apart by the media, or scrutinized and criticized for aging, or criticized for fighting aging—it just seems to be much more difficult to be a woman in music and to grow older. I just really hope that I will choose to do it as gracefully as possible."

We know she will! She's already done a lot of growing up in the public eye, and she's done an excellent job of doing it gracefully.
