Swift 'takes revenge through song'

Taylor Swift has revealed that she takes revenge on people who mistreat her through her music.

The country star, who previously admitted to being bullied at school, confessed that she uses songwriting as an act of vengeance on her tormentors.

She told Shout: "I would go to school and not have anyone to talk to, but what I could look forward to was going home and writing something about it. There's where the revenge of writing a song about someone who's mean to you started."

She continued: "If you're horrible to me I'm going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That's how I operate."

The 19-year-old also explained that she pens tracks about her personal break-ups, adding: "If they don't want a song written about them, then they shouldn't have been bad in the first place!"
