Country singer Taylor Swift looked fit and relaxed walking on the beach in the Bahamas June 19.
Swift, 20, wore a high-waisted polka dot bikini along with oversized sunglasses as she walked barefoot on the sand.
SHE LOVES TO RUN
The lanky 5'10" Taylor stays fit by running outdoors or on the treadmill.
“If I’m indulging too much and not exercising enough, I can feel that," Swift said in the April 2010 issue of Allure. "I can feel a change before I see it."
The super-skinny Taylor insists she works out to maintain her stamina--not to stay thin.
'I DON'T EXERCISE TO BE THIN'
"For me, working out is not so I can get skinny," she says. "It’s so that I can keep up my endurance so I’m not panting on stage. Heavy breathing is the worst when you’re in concert. You don’t want to see that if you’re going to see a show."
Swift, who has managed to maintain a scandal-free image (unlike Miley Cyrus), often draws on her own life experiences when writing songs.
"I'm the kind of person who needs all her time to be worth the energy," says Taylor. "Let's say I date a guy who really does nothing but damage me. And you've spent time, you've spent effort, and you've put everything into trying to make that work, and it didn't. So you write a song about it. It was worth everything, if you write a song about it."
Swift, who previously dated Twilight: Eclipse star Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas, was recently honored at the 2010 Songwriters Hall of Fame awards gala. [see slideshow below]

Modesty, what a concept. I love Taylor Swift, she is a person that uses her talent instead of her body to get ahead.
You look awesome Taylor! I'm 16 and love that you don't feel like you have to walk around like a sleazebag just to get attention. You're a great role model for young girls. I just wish there were more people like you out there. Love your style + music!!!!!!!!
She always looks so beautiful--without letting it all hang out!
She's 5'11"
