The 17-year-old star claims many of the controversial lyrics featured on her band Pretty Reckless’ debut album ‘Light Me Up’ stem from situations she has experienced first hand.
When asked about the inspirations for her music, Taylor told Spin magazine: "I'm not really sure how to answer properly yet. I've had a lot of bad experiences, and whether that's from sex or drugs or something else, they are adult experiences that would f**k anyone up."
Despite her claims, the singer-and-actress is adamant she won’t go off the rails like so many other young starlets.
She added: “I’m not a drug addict, a crazy f***ing psycho who's gonna end up in the gutter next week, or a rebel.
"I'm figuring out who I am and what I want to be doing.”
Taylor also claims working on TV drama ‘Gossip Girl’ left her feeling “drained” but her music has brought back her enthusiasm for life.
She said: "I was at a point where I was getting up and going to work, but I was drained. ‘Gossip Girl’ gave me a platform to make this happen faster, and I'm grateful, but if I'm not doing something that makes me happy, then I'm dying. Music keeps me young."
