Interview with "Sweety High"
Grace was interviewed for "Sweety High", a website presenting itself as "the cultural destination for teen and tween girls. Our culture highlights girl power through entertainment, dance, fashion, music, sports, entrepreneurship, and technology."
Much of the interview focused on the Taylor Swift comparison. As she has done many times since, Grace managed to appreciate the sentiment of the comment while subtly hinting that she may not be a great fan of Taylor.
Q: How did you feel when Simon Cowell called you "the next Taylor Swift"? Grace: "Just so, so grateful. The only word I can think of is 'honored'. That's one of the nicest things he could say to someone." Q: Do you look up to Taylor as an inspiration in any way? Grace: "What inspires me is that everyone knows who she is. I'll hopefully be, one day, as successful as that!" Q: What's your favorite song of hers? Grace: "'Our Song.' I used to be obsessed with her in her country days."
Grace’s answer to the question "What was the first song you ever wrote about?" showed that Grace's problems with writing "happy songs" go back a long time: "It was about being happy, because for some reason back then, I was really bad at writing happy songs."
