Taylor Swift baking for fans

With the UK goning baking bonkers Taylor Swift tells KISS FM UK that she has been baking for fans during secret showcases all week.

She said, "I made cookies for the first group, and then they kind of talked about it online, and so all the other people were like...I wonder if I get invited to one, I hope she bakes for that one too And so I'm like - Okay, I've got to bake for all of them….but for me, it's actually really fun, because you get to try out all kinds of new recipes and stuff, and for me that's actually very exciting. It's one of the things I really like to do. It kind of calms me down, because if I'm thinking about measuring out all these ingredients and just kind of following sort of a recipe, then it just is – I'm not thinking about things that stress me out. Yeah, it's kind of like – it's just kind of like a comfort thing."

She also revealed her inspiration comes from the 1980's – despite the fact she was only born in 1989. She said, "I think I have a few artists from the late '80s who I think, in my mind, were making the most incredible, bold, risky decisions as far as pop music goes. They were really kind of ahead of their time, and those are the artists that really inspire me – like Annie Lennox, and what Madonna was doing in the late '80s, and Peter Gabriel, and Fine Young Cannibals. I just feel like that music still holds up."
