Ten reasons to love Taylor Swift

Country starlet-turned-pop princess Taylor Swift is bringing her to 1989 World Tour to Glasgow's SECC Hydro this month.

Here are ten reasons why we love her:

(Even when no one else does!)

And sings in the car with radio DJs.

She isn't afraid to show her fails as well as her triumphs.

But although she mixes with the rich and famous, she also keeps up with her old school friends – and sometimes brings the two together.
