In a recent interview with Women’s Health, Taylor Swift admitted that she was bullied in high school.  The 18-year-old starlet said she was shunned by her peers because she lived on a Christmas tree farm.  “A lot of girls thought I was weird,” Swift told Women’s Health.  “Actually, the word they liked to use was annoying. I'd sit at their lunch table, and they'd move to a different one.”  Swift and her family moved from Pennsylvania to Nashville when she was 14 so she could learn more about writing Country Music, according to Swift’s mom, Andrea. Swift said despite the move, she still hasn’t become more popular.  “It's funny - I thought my contact list in my phone would grow if I was in the music industry,” she told Women’s Health. “But I had more people in my phone book when I was in high school!”  Even if her contact list hasn’t grown, Swift still has admirers, even if they  are unwanted. Swift described a recent trip to Victoria’s Secret where 15 people had their picture phones out ready to snap a picture of which kind of underwear she was going to buy. “[They were saying], ‘Think she's a small or an extra small?’” Swift said. “I wanted to be like, ‘Uh guys? I can hear you.’”  Swift said that the incident was a rarity – she normally isn’t bothered much in Nashville. “Keith and Nicole live there,” Swift said. “Tim and Faith live there. We can all go to the grocery store in our sweatpants because the paparazzi have no idea Nashville exists.”
