Taylor Talks Lorax
![<span style="font-size: small;"><a class="runtimeTopic" href="#">Taylor Swift</a> sat down with NBC’s Today show to discuss her upcoming Dr. Seuss’ film The Lorax, where she plays “Audrey” – one of the main characters. Taylor related to her part due to the fact she grew up on a Christmas tree farm, and her character is “obsessed with nature and trees.” The film also features Zac Efron, and when two major stars are featured in a film, dating rumors are sure to swirl – but Taylor is okay with that. She has come to terms with the fact that those things “come along with the life she has chosen.” As far as her view on life, she is in an “adventurous faze right now where she enjoys going out by herself and seeing where the day leads.” Taylor is currently carefully reading over scripts, but her main focus is her next album which is expected this year. The Lorax will hit theaters on Friday, March 2nd.</span>](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-02/68144004-16033752.jpg "<span style="font-size: small;\"><a class=\"runtimeTopic\" href=\"#\">Taylor Swift</a> sat down with NBC’s Today show to discuss her upcoming Dr. Seuss’ film The Lorax, where she plays “Audrey” – one of the main characters.
