The 23-year-old singer does not like to obsess about herself by regularly reading about her life and music, reported Contactmusic.
"You can be obsessed with the bad things people say and the good things, either way you're obsessed with yourself and I'm not - you can become unhinged so easily," Swift said.
"Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. So I distance myself, because I feel everything. The little I am exposed to hurts my feelings. The only things I can really control are my songs and my behaviour. The rest? If I focused on it that would lead to insanity," she added.
"There's room for role models who make mistakes. There's clearly room for role models who are made fun of at award shows," she said.
"Not that I necessarily enjoy being poked fun at, but that's gonna happen to the fans, too. Whether in a board meeting or in school or on Facebook, where they'll get humiliated publicly," she added.
