Taylor Swift thinks it's "scary" not knowing what the future holds.
The 'Bad Blood' hitmaker has offered advice to a fan who had blogged about feeling lonely, confessing she finds being unaware of what will happen next in her life terrifying but insisting it's what makes being alive "thrilling".
Replying to the Tumblr user - who goes by the screen name "protectingswift" - she wrote: "I hate that you're feeling that way and it's so hard not to dwell on our fears and doubts, because we want spoilers for how it's going to turn out...but in reality we just have to go through life not knowing what's next. It's scary but it's also the wildest, most thrilling part of life. Just when you think it's going to get worse, it could get better instead. It WILL. (sic)"
As well as admitting her fears and insecurities, the 25-year-old star - who is dating Calvin Harris - went on to offer further words of wisdom by urging her not to take any notice of people who "dismiss" her, or "flaky friends".
She wrote: "You've always been there with kind, thoughtful words for me when I'm down and I just need you to know how important you are.
"Knowing your worth sometimes comes without proof at all. You're worth more than flaky friends and people who dismiss you, or underestimate you. Sometimes it seems like that's all you get, but it's not all you'll ever get. Believe that. Love you. (sic)"
