Taylor Swift is slated to appear in her hometown of Nashville on June 13.

It’s hard to blame her. In a little less than four hours, the 15-year-old sophomore will take the stage with Toby Keith at a press conference in downtown Nashville announcing her as one of the first artists signed to a new, joint-venture record label started by superstar Toby Keith and veteran label executive Scott Borchetta. But it isn’t the glare of the national media spotlight or the fact that she will be taking pictures with the sometimes imposing Keith that has the butterflies fluttering in her stomach.

It’s the car ride over.

“I can drive in a straight line and turn,” admits Taylor, who is scheduled to get her license in a few months. “But I don’t like arrows and lines. And I don’t like stop signs. The whole bigger car rule definitely applies when I drive.”
