.taylorswift13 got real about the double standard that women in the music industry face: 'Women are not allowed to want those things the way that men are allowed to want them'
. Most importantly, though, Swift called out the music industry for slut-shaming and minimizing female artists — something she experienced firsthand at the age of 23.
In her early twenties, Swift's dating life was often the topic of conversation when her name was brought up in the media. Despite making and releasing quality music at the time, Swift was constantly being criticized for being a"serial dater" and for writing songs about her exes."When I was 23 ...
Now, with songs like "The Man" and her increased interest in making sure creators are being compensated for her work, Swift isn't afraid to call out a problem when she sees one. "I don't think people understand how easy it is to infer that someone who's a female artist or a female in our industry is somehow doing something wrong by wanting love, wanting money, wanting success," she said.
Having experienced this misogyny herself, Swift continues to encourage young, emerging talent to continue creating music, no matter what:"I'm like, 'Do not let anything stop you from making art. Just make things. Do not get so caught up in this that it stops you from making art, [even] if you need to make art about this. But never stop making things."
