Teddy Swims tells Grammy.com that he uses songwriting as therapy.“Songwriting can be therapeutic if you have a feeling that you need to get out, and you write that feeling down, and you get it out. But what I tend to do a lot in my life, I'll write it down into a song, and then I'll write it into another song from a different perspective. And I'll write it down 100 different ways, in 100 different perspectives, to the point that it ends up that that small problem has now turned into the biggest problem in my life, because I've thought about so many different ways. Instead of being more therapeutic, songwriting has been more of a way of highlighting what I'm going through, sometimes way too much.”
Tate McRae tells Uproxx.com that she's surrounding herself with good people to help her through the pressures of being famous. “Over the last year or so, I’ve worked really hard to surround myself with good people that prioritize being present and celebrating what we are doing each day.

Taylor Swift tells Consequence.net that she's learned to not react to negative news she sees about herself. “There is one thing I’ve learned: My response to anything that happens, good or bad, is to keep making things.

And when it comes to Taylor, he loves her and sees a future with her and has thought about what a ring for her would be like as well. He wants to make sure it isn't something cheesy, but more unique and something that is a part of him that he shares with her to show that forever means forever.''

Dear Fonseca,
I walked into a cafe yesterday with several girlfriends for lunch. I was shocked when I spotted my stepson and a woman I did not know. I walked over and said hello. He and his friend appeared nervous. My stepson has been dating another woman for two years. She wasn't there. I came home and called my husband and my stepson's father. He said that I shouldn't say anything to his girlfriend and that it's none of our business. He says we should stay out of it. I am outraged because that lunch may be cheating. Even if it's not physical it's still emotional. I feel I need to stand up for other women and say something to my stepson's girlfriend. What would you do if you were me?
