In this day and age celebrities lives are on blast whether they would like them to be or not. This information is spread and talked about whether the celebrity gave permission or not. People will gossip 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and be completely unbothered about the fact that these celebrities have feelings. If people were to call you a snake for months, I'm sure that would have an effect on you.

If you haven't guessed already, I'm talking about those who did just that to Taylor Swift. The amount of probing that goes into Taylor Swift's life is absolutely ridiculous and the fact that I even have to mention this, in general, is atrocious. There are several things that people have had to say about Taylor over the last few years, so I'm here to debunk and disprove all of the fake news surrounding her as well as address things I've read in response to her music and self-portrayal.

1. Taylor Swift is a Trump supporter.

I'm a Taylor Swift fan; a swiftie if you will. If you didn't know this before, you know it now. I have subscribed to notifications for all of Taylors tweets (up until her account was cleared), her Tumblr updates, almost every social media you can imagine, and I have NEVER seen her physically say that she supports Donald Trump. Taylor has the right to withhold her political identity. She is not obligated to tell everyone EVERYTHING.

2. Taylor Swift is a snake.

Just because she puts her relationship stories and emotions into her music doesn't mean that she's a snake. Just because she didn't approve of Kanye calling her a "bitch" doesn't mean she's a snake. And, honestly, if Taylor Swift is a snake then so is everyone else in Hollywood.

3. "I miss the old Taylor."

Hate to break it to you, but, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now because she's dead. :)

But in all seriousness, you have all had all the time in the world to love and support Taylor Swift. Now that she's been pushed to become all of the epithets that were thrown at her (i.e. a liar, a victim, a snake) you suddenly miss who she used to be. So don't get it twisted.

4. Taylor Swift always plays the victim.

In some instances, I can see where people would think that Taylor is playing the victim, however, she absolutely, positively, does NOT always play the victim. She expresses her feelings through song and no one

5. "Taylor is so messed up! She's releasing her album on Kanye's Mother's death anniversary!"

Okay, if you really think Taylor would stoop that low as to release her album on Kanye's mother's death anniversary, you're insane. Even after Kanye had his big mess up at the VMA's, Taylor literally wrote a song about him saying, "who you are is not what you did, you're still an innocent."

Like, come on. The numbers within her release date add up to 13 ... if that doesn't spell out "Taylor Swift" to you then I don't know what does.

6. Taylor's album 'reputation' is going fail miserably.

Taylor has come out with five other albums, three of which sold more than one million copies within the first week. Her single "Look What You Made Me Do" literally replaced "Despacito" on the Billboard Top 100. So, I have absolutely no idea why you think this album will be anything but successful.

Taylor has been successful ever since her first album and will continue to be despite the efforts of celebrities and the public to bring her down. So, in the end, Taylor Swift is going to come for all of your favorites and knock them off the charts, just like she has before.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
