Taylor Swift has had a crazy year. I mean, last Wednesday night, at the age of 19, she beat out Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, George Strait, and Keith Urban to become the youngest person ever to win the Country Music Awards' top honor: Entertainer of the Year.

And, if having a beautiful voice isn't enough, this week, she's landed on the cover of InStyle's December issue -- which is in 3-D ... a fashion magazine first! Taylor's also started acting -- she appeared in an episode of "CSI" and stars in the upcoming flick "Valentine's Day," which hits theaters in February 2010. Fortunately, Taylor's trying her darnedest to make sure that all this fame and success doesn't change her.


"I don't ever feel misunderstood," she shares. "And I don't feel as if I need to make some giant statement and start wearing a completely different new wardrobe for the next project or start speaking in a different way or writing songs in a different way. When you start overthinking that stuff with your career, you stop being who you are and start being who you think you should be. And when you get into that space, that's very dangerous territory. So I'm just going to continue to be who I am."

Perhaps that's how she's landed her rumored beau, Taylor Lautner. At the time of the InStyle interview, which took place a couple of months ago, the singer insisted she was still single, but admitted that she got "really close" to the "Twilight" hottie while filming "Valentine's Day." She also revealed that it wasn't easy having two Taylors on the same movie set.

"It would be confusing with two Taylors in the same scene," she laughs. "They were like, 'Taylor, on your mark -- no, not you, the other one!' So halfway through the shoot, I said, 'How about you guys call me Swifty and call him Taylor?'"

Swifty ... I like it.
