What makes one of the world's most popular singers shed a tear? Baby ducks and otters covered in oil, apparently.

InStyle magazine recently interviewed Taylor Swift for their November issue, but she had so much to say that they couldn't fit all of her musings in their feature. This morning, however, they released seven of the best quotes that they didn't include, including the above gem concerning Taylor's tear ducts and Dawn commercials.

Swift also told the mag that "Trouble" is her favorite song to sing on tour, and that she won't wear pencil skirts because it's a "weird look" for her.

Check out the rest of her quotes at InStyle.
