Taylor SwiftTaylor Swift has revealed she was bullied in high school because of where she lived.

The 18 year old singer grew up in Pennsylvania before moving to Nashville with her family to pursue her music career.

But before the move, she told Women’s Health recently, she was often singled out as being different: “[Growing up on a Christmas tree farm] was basically a shunning – and that’s never a good thing, you know?

“A lot of girls thought I was weird. Actually, the word they liked to use was annoying.

“I’d sit at their lunch table and they’d move to a different one.”

But even though she’s a country star now and has dated a Jonas Brother, she insists she still has a small, select group of friends: “It’s funny - I thought my contact list in my phone would grow if I was in the music industry. But I had more people in my phone book when I was in high school!”
