‘Taylor Swift Opens Up to Fans’

The singer opened up to thousands of fans during her YouTube live stream event, "Lover's Lounge Live," on Thursday, in New York.

"The album Lover is something that I'm proud of because it really feels like such a special album," She told her fans before reading snippets from her diaries, answering fan questions and dropping the music video.

"This entire video concept came from a lyric that I wrote on the 1989 album in a song called 'You Are in Love,'" she explained. "This is a song that I wrote about two of my best friends who are in love and I saw their relationship and thought, 'Wow, that's beautiful. What you guys have is beautiful.' And there is a line I was proud of that says, 'And so it goes you two are dancing in a snow globe round and round.' That line inspired the entire music video."

Co-directed by Swift and Drew Kirsch, "Lover" co-stars Christian Owens, who is her first onscreen love interest since "Wildest Dreams."

In addition to the world premiere of the "Lover" music video, she gave fans a live performance of her third single, "Archer," and started things off by reading personal entries from her real-life diaries -- which are included in the four deluxe editions of her Lover album.

"I don't care what people think of me now because I won't let them bring me down," Swift said that her 13-year-old self wrote on Aug. 25, 2003.

And in an entry from Oct. 5, 2003, 13-year-old Swift also wrote about how school is a "big disappointment."

"I guess I'm just not good enough for people my own age," Swift read aloud while laughing at her past teenage angst. "Or maybe I'm just not bad enough. Peace sign."

In the deluxe editions, fans will get 120 scanned pages of her actual diaries that she wanted to share with them. Each booklet will have 30 pages of entries from her, and will also include blank pages for fans to write their own stories.
