Taylor Swift To Put Music Career On Hold, Plans on Attending College
Taylor Swift, the biggest name in pop and country at the moment shocked fans, promoters and the entire music industry today when she cancelled her world tour. Swift announced in a statement that âthereâs nothing more important than education,â and she plans on attending college starting this January in time for the spring semester.Â âI hope my fans support my decision, Iâm not the first star to put a career on hold,â said Swift. âJodie Foster went to Yale, Natalie Portman went to Harvard, and Emma Watson went to Brown. If they could put their careers on hold to get an education, so can I. As a role model to millions of young girls, I feel itâs my duty to show the importance of education. So Iâll be going to a little school in Boston that maybe some of you have heard of, to pursue my life long dream.âAccording to Swift and her management, going to school is the only thing thatâs kept her back from becoming the biggest musician of all-time, as opposed to just one of the biggest musicians of all-time.âBecause I want to liveÂ this dream, today I am proud to announce I was accepted to Bostonâs Medford Community College School of Dog Grooming. I will be starting this January, for a grueling 6 months of courses to achieve my certificate, but I know with the support of God and my fans, I can do it. I want to let my fellow students know even though I may be the only one going to a commuter school in a limo, Iâm just a regular down-home country girl at heart.ââIâm really, really sad that sheâs not going to be singing anymore,â said Amy Anderson, a 12-year-old fan. â6 months is like a lifetime away from making music, but Iâm happy for her. Well Iâm more sad for me than happy for her. I donât know how I feel. My Mom and Dad are both doctors, and they wanted me to be a doctor. I wanted to be a singer like Taylor, but now I guess I Â want to be a dog groomer like Taylor.âÂ
