She absolutely didn't write that, she has an entire PR firm at her disposal. The same way most politicians do not write any of their speeches. Do you really think most "stars" directly manage their "own" tumblr,facebook or twitter accounts? of course not.

I got vilified as a troll on reddit for suggesting such a thing. A reply to me earnestly said something to the effect of: I don't know anything about twitter, but I'm sure <washed up star> follows <big movie franchise>.

"Swift gets her fans, and instead of keeping to herself she builds a relationship with her audience through Twitter and Instagram. She acts as her fans best friend as opposed to their untouchable celeb crush. And she does it all herself, no assistant at hand."[1]

I get why you think that way, because most celebrities do indeed hire PR firms and assistants to handle their fan relationships. Ms. Swift is unique in the fact that she doesn't, and it's documented well enough that even a non-fan like me knows about it. I wouldn't have said what I did above if I didn't know it to be true.
