10 Things You Didn’t Know About Taylor Swift
1. She's an award-winning poet.
Taylor Swift has always been writing about the men, women, boys, girls and monsters that give her trouble. In the fourth grade, she penned a poem called 'Monster in My Closet' that won a national poetry contest. "There’s a monster in my closet and I don’t know what to do / Have you ever seen him? / Has he ever pounced on you?” Swift wrote. In a way, that lyric is similar to many of the songs she's penned warning women to stay away from certain ex-boyfriends.
