In a new interview with Access Hollywood, Taylor Swift acknowledges that her public image is often described as “chaste.” “That’s a way of people saying I’m just not generally a sexy person. That’s all that is,” she explains. “It’s fine. I’ve accepted it. I’m a lot of things. Overtly sexy is not one of them. I’m fine with all the other things I am.” The 25-year-old adds, “As an artist you should embrace what comes naturally to you, whatever role feels right. I would never encourage an artist to try to and fit in to a role that seemed to be created for them by a bunch of record label guys in suits in a conference room.”

Serena Ryder has lent her voice to the official song of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.
