Now your YouTube channel is very popular. I know you have over a half a million subscribers that get your blogs when you post them, which is really cool. I was like I wanted to ask you off the bat, how important is your channel and social media in general as a tool for expression but also connecting with your audience.
Taylor Swift
I think we’ve all seen the effect of social media and how that can connect to people. For me, I grew up when that was just about to set fire to the world. You know, I was, I think, in seventh and eighth grade when everybody started having a profile online and everybody was — you know, it was all about who’s your friend and who’s commenting on whose page. And then it became the YouTube generation, where everybody’s looking at videos, everybody’s making video blogs and, you know, makeup tutorials or this or that or back to school outfit shopping, you know. Everybody is kind of catching on to communicating by making videos and learning how to edit them. And it’s — I think it’s fantastic, because it’s just a new skill set for this new generation.

今あなたのユーチューブチャンネルはとても人気です。あなたがとてもクールなブログを投稿した時にそれを見るチャンネル登録者が50万人以上いると思います。あなたに今尋ねたかったことがあります。一般的に、表現をするためのツールでもあり、あなたの視聴者との繋がりでもあるユーチューブチャンネルやソーシャルメディアはあなたにとってどれぐらい重要ですか？
Taylor Swift
私たちは、ソーシャルメディアの影響やそれがどれだけ人々と繋がることができるかを見てきていると思います。私はそれが世界中で流行し始めた時に成長することができました。おそらく私が中学１、２年生だった頃、みんながオンラインに自分のプロフィールを持ち始め、「誰が誰の友達」で、「誰が誰のページにコメントしている」など言っていました。そしてそれは、みんなが動画を見たり、動画を作ったり、化粧のレッスンを受けたり、これやあれなど、また新学期の洋服の買い物など、ユーチューブ時代に変わりました。みんなが動画を作ったりどうやってそれらを編集するかを学んだりすることで、人とコニュニケーションする方法を理解(会得)しているような感じです。私はそれが新たな時代に対する新しいスキルの準備として、素晴らしいことだと思います。
