I don't think this is necessarily about her, although I'm sure parts of it reflect her, but I think it's a musician/singer whose popularity fades (possibly through drink or drugs). The line 'by the time you're 25, they will say you've gone and blown it' describes a failed album or substance abuse that leads to a slump in your popularity. I think the 'blown them all' bit at 35 means resorting to offering sexual favours to producers, company guys, whoever, just so she doesn't lose the contract or get dumped. The bit about the 'friendly substance' relates to someone who is using coke or some other drug to get them through the day.
I can think of a few artists in their 20s who could fit this song. I think the reference to Tori having climbed China'a wall means that in the Y Kant Tori Read days she was considered a joke and not as someone who could be successful, but she proved them wrong. I think this song is like Tori observing how 'celebrity' can destroy some people and she is watching someone go through this just now.
