Taylor Swift Reflects on Amazing Year

Taylor Swift has reached more milestones in one year of her career than most artists achieve in a lifetime, so does the busy entertainer have any time to just sit and think about all that she's done now that she's so in demand?

"I do a lot of reflecting," the 20-year-old tells Yahoo.com. I'll be driving down the streets I used to drive down in Nashville, and my song will come on the radio or I'll pass my high school and something will remind me of how my life was before all of these crazy dreams started coming true. We wished for this, my parents and I, every single day without actually believing it would come true."

Taylor also reveals she didn't watch much TV as a kid, preferring instead to study up on country artists. "When I was 10, I watched a special on Faith Hill and how she went to Nashville and made it in country music. I watched how Garth Brooks kept his ticket prices low. I watched how Shania Twain was able to be a blend of different genres. I just love what I get to do so much that there's never a moment of my day when I'm not thinking about a certain aspect of it."

Taylor wraps up 2009 as PEOPLE magazine's most intriguing person of the year. She'll kick off 2010 with the next leg of her record-breaking Fearless tour.
