Now that Taylor Swift has conquered the music business, she wants to learn how to make a good cocktail
Taylor Swift wants to turn her attention away from music to focus on the smaller things in life. Namely, she tells Vogue in her new cover story interview, "short-term goals" like making a good cocktail, learning CPR, and figuring out how to change a tire.
"I want to be a well-rounded person who can make a good drink," Swift says. "To be able to save somebody if they're drowning," she continues. "So CPR, all the various kinds of chest compressions. People tell you little tips, but that's different from actually taking a class and getting certified."
Swift assures Vogue that when she gets fixated on learning a new skill, she will do everything to make sure she accomplishes her goals — no matter how small. "I got it in my head that I couldn't do a split, and I was really upset about it. And so I stretched every single day for a year until I could do a split," she says. "Somehow I feel better knowing that I can."
