Taylor Swift appeared on the cover of this year’s Time 100 issue, celebrating the most influential people in culture, politics, technology and more. On Tuesday night, as an honoree at Time’s 100 Gala, Swift performed an exclusive acoustic set on guitar and piano. On her songwriting, Swift told the audience, “I’ve always known it was the main pillar of kind of my sanity as well, like I always looked at writing as sort of like a protective armor. Which is weird, because you think of writing about your life, that’s usually like a vulnerability, but I think that when you write about your life, it gives you the ability to process your life.”

Taylor Swift began binge-watching Game of Thrones in 2016. Though she’d heard rumblings about a Red Wedding, the pop star managed to stay away from most major spoilers. “I can avoid pretty much any information,” she tells EW. “For a couple years, every time I’d see my name in print, I’d throw the phone. If you can avoid your own presence, spoilers [are] easy.” Though she began watching the show for pleasure, her interest soon made its way into her life in different ways. As she reveals here for the first time, the dark and twisted world of George R.R. Martin began to infiltrate her music. “So much of my imagination was spent on Game of Thrones,” she says. “At the time, I was making reputation and I didn’t talk about it in interviews, so I didn’t reveal that a lot of the songs were influenced by the show.” (Shout out to EW’s James Hibberd, who called that one.) Swift adds that reputation ended up turning into a split album, with one side featuring weaponized songs about vengeance, and the other exploring love and looking to find “something sacred throughout all the battle cries.” Sounds like the recipe for an epic, Westerosi-style plot. “These songs were half based on what I was going through, but seeing them through a Game of Thrones filter,” Swift says. “‘Look What You Made Me Do’ is literally Arya Stark’s kill list. ‘King of My Heart’ was influenced by Khal Drogo and Daenerys. It’s even got this post-hook of drums — I wanted them to sound like Dothraki drums.” She also wrote lines based on plots from season 7 right before the record dropped. “‘I Did Something Bad’ I wrote after Arya and Sansa conspire to kill Littlefinger,” she says. That and “Look What You Made Me Do,” she adds, “are very Cersei vibes, too. Daenerys as well.”

“Our priorities can get messed up existing in a society that puts a currency on curating the way people see your life,” Swift says in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Social media has given people a way to express their art. I use it to connect with fans. But on the downside, you feel like there are 3 trillion new invisible hoops that you have to jump through, and you feel like you’ll never be able to jump through them all correctly.”
Swift goes on to say that she realizes she is just one of many people who are trying to find a happy medium when it comes to social media.
“I, along with a lot of my friends and fans, am trying to figure out how to navigate living my life and not just curating what I want people to think living my life is,” says Swift, who made waves in Nashville in April when she surprised fans by appearing at a mural she had commissioned in Music City to tease the release of her new song, "Me!"
“I’m not always able to maintain a balance, and I think that’s important for everyone to know about. We’re always learning, and that’s something that I also had to learn — that I’ve got to be brave enough to learn.”
Learning in the spotlight isn't always pretty. In fact, Swift says it's "humiliating sometimes."
“Do I feel more balanced in my life than I ever have before? Um, probably yeah. But is that permanent? No. And I think being okay with that has put me in a bit of a better position,” she says.

Taylor Swift recently graced the popular Ellen DeGeneres Show and during one of the fun game segments, Taylor revealed that she has a sleep-eating disorder. When Ellen asked her what she does when cannot sleep, the singer said that she 'rummages through the kitchen and eats what she can find'. But she doesn't recollect the same the next morning.
Taylor told Ellen, " I go downstairs and rummage through the kitchen and eat what I can find. It's a really less human being and more like a raccoon in a dumpster."
As per Sleepeducation.org, sleep-eating aka sleep-related eating disorder is a parasomnia. The person who suffers from the same indulges in repeated sessions of compulsive binge eating and drinking after waking up in the middle of the night.
The same is done in an "out of control" manner and it takes place when the person is partially awake. The report reads, "You may have only a partial memory or no memory of the event afterward. Other people are very alert as they eat. They recall much of the episode in the morning." If someone tries to stop that person then he or she can get angry over the same.
