| 0:03.1 | The number one Taylor Swift podcast brought to you by the fan site, Taylor Swift13.org. |
| 0:13.1 | All right, we're back with Rick Barker for the second part of our exclusive interview. |
| 0:17.5 | If you don't know what's going on, go back and download episode 20 part one to catch up on the first half of our interview with Rick. For those who have already heard it, let's pick it up right where we left off. So, Rick, as someone who's watched Taylor from her early career, where do you think it's going now? Oh, anywhere she wants it to go. So do you think, I mean, are you pretty convinced |
| 0:37.9 | she'll be one of those long-term careers? I mean, she'll be performing up into her 40s, 50s, |
| 0:42.5 | and beyond. Well, and the thing is, is that, and this is what I share with people today, her goal |
| 0:49.3 | has always been to be an iconic artist. There are very few iconic artists. |

And she's like, but if I'm still touring when I'm 30, then I'm not going to do that yet in terms of like, I think that, you know, right. I think she's aware of the fact that she can pretty much do it as long as she's willing to keep put the work into it but that she knows you know sometime in life maybe |
| 2:03.1 | her priorities will |
| 2:04.3 | change. And it's really just up to her. And one day, I wouldn't be surprised if she has her |
