Taylor Swift talks to herself to calm down

London: Country star Taylor Swift says she talks to herself in the mirror to calm herself down before going on stage to perform.

The 22-year-old singer said that she is a nervous wreck before she performs a gig, particularly at music festivals where fans may not have turned up just to see her, reported BBC online. "I get pretty nervous. I kind of like go through, you know when you talk to yourself in the mirror? And I`m like, `They`re not going to throw things at you, it`s going to be OK, it`s going to be OK.` It`s not like that, it`s more like, `Mmm ... It`s going to be OK?` "I don`t get nervous when I`m going on stage and a crowd of people have bought tickets to see me, because I`m like, `You guys totally want to be here.` It`s when I`m not sure if people want me to be on stage," Swift said.
