Taylor Swift feels she leads a double life.

The 'Love Story' singer admits she is often left confused by the pressures of dealing with her music career combined with trying to retain normality away from her professional life.

She said: "Sometimes I feel like I lead a double life. One minute I'll be negotiating a contract and the next I'll be at home with my friends.

"It's always been like that, even at school. I went to class, studied for tests and had crushes on boys, and then after school I'd go downtown to Music Row in Nashville and write songs."

Despite having so much to juggle, Taylor insists she never crumbles under stress.

She added: "I do have days where I just don't want to get out of bed because there's so much to do but they don't happen very often.

"The pressure never really gets to me. I've always loved there being a little bit of pressure on me to succeed. I thrive on that."
