The 22-year-old country music star understands part of her job is to be photographed at red carpets and events.

But she finds it distressing to be followed in her day-to-day life.

‘It gets to be a bit irritating for me when they’re waiting for me outside my house, or when I’m on vacation and they’re there too,’ Taylor told BBC News. “There’s definitely something really confusing about people following you and being allowed to.’

Being under a ‘giant magnifying glass’ will never seem normal to the star.

Taylor says she’s even banned herself from Googling her name for fear of stumbling across unflattering photos or false reports.

Six years since the release of her first album, it’s one of a few ways she’s learned how to cope.

“It’s a big priority for me to be happy, so there are a lot of things I have to ignore,’ she said.

Live Music Ticket Prices Reshape Global Concert Industry As Australia Faces ‘FOMO Economy’

by Paul Cashmere The cost of seeing live music has transformed dramatically over the past four decades, with arena and stadium concert ticket prices now outpacing inflation at a rate few other entertainment sectors can match. In the mid-1980s, a major concert ticket typically cost between $12 and $15. In 2026, premium tickets for the world's biggest tours regularly exceed $500, while VIP packages can stretch beyond $1,000. The shift has fundamentally changed not only the economics of touring, but also the behaviour of audiences in Australia, North America and Europe.
