When we landed at the airport in Boise, from Portland, Oregon this lady from our plane came up from behind as we walked down the terminal. She approached me and said 'Taylor, I just love your song and want to wish you great things in you career.' I looked and her and said 'Well, THANK YOU!' and then said ' who did you talk to?'. (and then pointed to my Mom and the Label rep we were traveling with) I was convinced that one of them had talked to the lady on the plane and told her about me and my song. The lady said 'neither one' and then I said 'Well, how did you know who I was?' and the lady said 'because I listen to radio and I watched your video'. This was the first time someone had actually KNOWN who I was and MY NAME. Wow. I just walked over and hugged her, and said ....'You're the first person who's ever done that, thankyou.' It was an amazing moment to remember, and I always will.","author":"Taylor Swift","tags":["fame","taylor-swift"],"id":4181,"author_id":"Taylor+Swift"},{"text":"There were relatives of their victims among the Hogwarts students, who now found themselves the unwilling objects of a gruesome sort of reflected fame as they walked the corridors: Susan Bones, whose uncle, aunt, and cousins had all died at the hands of one of the ten, said miserably during Herbology that she now had a good idea what it felt like to be Harry.'And I don't know how you stand it- it's horrible' she said bluntly.","author":"J.K.
