THINKING ABOUT HER
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
Lately I’ve reflected on my adoration for @taylorswift when I was a kid. I was born in 2001 which made me 5 when her first big time album Debut was released.
By the time I was 6 I was singing along to tear drops on my guitar and shouldve said no like it was nobody’s business. However it wasn’t until I was 7 or 8 when my favorite song of all time became my personal anthem for years.
You Belong With Me was and has always been my go to jam especially when I’m having an anxious day. As a kid I always felt like an outsider. I didn’t have many friends I could rely on, I dressed differently, I thought differently, and I was very sensitive to that.
This song became something I would scream at the top of my lungs hoping anyone would listen. That was the moment I realized that although Taylor Swift didn’t know me, and might never know me— she knew what it was like to be that girl. The one who was awkward and different and too kind and innocent and naive for her own good.
I grew up feeling like I wasn’t normal or good enough but songs like You Belong With Me really gave me a sense of belonging and pride.
After that, it was history. RED was my first big concert at METLife stadium. Reputation re-ignited my love for Taylor Swift (digging me out of the trenches of my screamo emo phase)
And now as a grown ass woman the Eras Tour has brought me back to the girl I once was. I mean if you asked 12 year old me if I’d go see my favorite artist with a best friend that I love I’d say you’re kidding!! As dramatic and crazy as it may sound @taylorswift helped heal my inner child.
She grew with me. Her music has a genre and sound and feeling for every moment of my life and I really think that is something so special.
If there’s anything I can give back to her it’s a big ol’ hug, a box of homemade chocolate chip cookies, and my undying love for her and her music.
She’ll never see this but…Thank you for changing my life Taylor—you fucking rock so hard.
In honor of the nostalgia of it all I’m linking a Spotify playlist with all my favorite songs from when I was a kid!
What do we think about this?? — I feel like she was trying to tell us something.
Maroon dress, maroon lip. Pinky up and a glass of wine. Her security guard ahead of her was also carrying a glass of wine and a black hand bag similar to the one Karlie Kloss arrived with at the tour.
I believe that Karlie and Taylor must’ve talked after the show and perhaps prior to and this was all planned. As we all know Taylor Swift is ofc a mastermind and her publicist Tree Paine as well. All this talk about the ex bestfriends (or lovers) has been blowing up! This wouldn’t have been allowed if it wasn’t supposed to be discussed.
