In her next decade, Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong> intends on calling the shots. <\/p>\n

With her 30th birthday fast approaching on Dec. 13, the superstar songstress is looking forward to feeling “a bit more secure,” something she’s heard about one’s 30s. <\/p>\n

In an interview with British Vogue <\/em>Editor in Chief Edward Enninful<\/strong>, the megawatt star equated her 20s to trying on a bunch of costumes before walking out in her regular outfit, content with who she is. Swift also expressed gratitude for reaching a point in her career where she’s able to choose when and what she works on. “I don’t take that for granted ever because there were times when I played hundreds of shows in a year and I was like 17 years old and I would get exhausted and burnt out and now I can work the amount that I know I’m capable of handling, which is like an extreme luxury\u2014I know that,” she acknowledged. <\/p>\n

Part of that overall increased security is also being able to recognize society’s “toxic messages” about her body. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“One thing going into my 30s that I’m really stoked about is like I now can really recognize and diagnose, like, toxic messages being sent to me by society, by culture about, like, my body,” she told Enninful. “I’m a woman. I’m not a coat hanger.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The star elaborated, “I need to feel healthy in my life and I need to take pleasure in food and I need to not use my body as like an exercise of control when I feel out of control in my life.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Swift raised the subject of body image in a list of lessons she’s learned before turning 30 that she penned for Elle<\/a><\/em> earlier this year. “I learned to stop hating every ounce of fat on my body. I worked hard to retrain my brain that a little extra weight means curves, shinier hair, and more energy,” her list read. “I think a lot of us push the boundaries of dieting, but taking it too far can be really dangerous. There is no quick fix. I work on accepting my body every day.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
