Taylor Swift Gave an Empowering Speech To Her Fans During Concert: "Be Kind To Yourself"
The performer of 'Shake It Off' told her fans during a concert in Minneapolis, Saturday (01.09.18) not to stress, and not to judge others according to their appearance.
Taylor said: "One thing I have noticed in my life is you can never judge what somebody else is going through, even if they seem like they have it all together, they seem like, how can they ever have any problems?"she said on one of the B-stages at U.S. Bank Stadium. "Somebody is maybe really beautiful or seems like they have it all together, maybe they have a life that you're really envious of."
"But I've learned that appearances aren't everything," Swift added. "Just because somebody looks happy doesn't mean they are. Just because somebody looks healthy doesn't mean they are."
She continued: "There's so much pressure on everyone these days to have it all together, to have a perfect body, a perfect life, to know exactly where they want to go with their life. I think the stress and the pressure of not being able to say that they're hurting has really taken a toll on a lot of people. So I'm just asking you, just try to be kind to yourself. Just know that there are so many people that are going through the exact same thing that you might be going through, whatever it is."
The concert was Taylor's second in the city, on her 'Reputation' tour, and the singer was surprised to learn that Friday (31.08.18) had become Taylor Swift Day, in the state of Victoria. Minnesota, because of a concert.
