Taylor Swift has confessed she doesn’t look up to any older female singers and finds it hard to identify with them as many have been ‘completely picked apart’.
She told ET Online: ‘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.
‘I just struggle to find a woman in music who hasn’t been completely picked apart by the media, or scrutinised and criticised for ageing, or criticised for fighting ageing – it just seems to be much more difficult to be a woman in music and to grow older.’
However, Taylor – whose latest album, 1989 recently sold 1.28 million copies in its first week – admitted she is inspired by ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ star, Mariska Hargitay and admires that the 50-year-old actress has built a ‘beautiful life and an incredible career’ for herself.
She said: ‘I do have female role models in the sense of actresses like Mariska Hargitay. I think she has a beautiful life, and an incredible career, and I think she’s built that for herself.’
