Anyone who knows me, knows that I am the biggest Taylor Swift fan around. I know that there are many people who despise her, which is fine because I know everyone has a right to their own opinion. I am not the kind of person who will pound my own thoughts and ideas into your head, telling you that I am in the right. I will respect that there are other opinions than mine, but as a Taylor Swift fan, I need people to respect my opinion as well.
I have been a fan of Taylor Swift since "Tim McGraw" first came out on country radio when I was in seventh grade. Saying this means that I have basically grown up listening to her music. I've enjoyed watching her grow as a person in the spotlight, as well as evolve her music over the years. To me, her songs are like stories, and I love listening to every one of them because she makes me feel like I have lived those stories.
In the past month, Taylor has not only broken up with her boyfriend of over a year, Calvin Harris, but also has gone on to start dating someone new, Tom Hiddleston. Every time I pull up my Facebook news feed, there is always a new article bashing Taylor Swift. I understand that this is what celebrities are for, entertainment, but they are also real people with very real lives. Living in the spotlight like that would be like reliving high school every single day, except the people don't really know who you are as a person, they just have an "idea" of how you are, they don't care about hurting your feelings, and they are meaner than you could ever imagine.
I am honestly really tired of the public shaming that continuously keeps happening. Not only with Calvin Harris Tweeting out his feelings the other day, but with Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry getting involved as well. I know that anti-Swifties will argue that Taylor Swift does that in her songs, BUT she doesn't name names for one, and she doesn't directly attack someone on social media.
One thing that I cannot stand is people fighting over social media. It has to be a number one pet peeve for me. I don't want to read about your business and it makes me think that you are about as mature as a five-year-old. So for Taylor Swift to continuously keep her social media accounts clean from snarky comments towards others and pettiness, really speaks volumes in my book. That quality is just one of he many, that makes her such a great role model.
So to fellow Swifties out there, I am here to tell you, don't lose hope in our girl. Yeah she is off tour, has a new boyfriend, and is living her life like she should. Like all other Swifties, I just want Taylor to be happy and spend the rest of her life writing songs that continue to make others feel like they aren't alone in the world. Taylor Swift is a genius song writer, generous to her fans and deserves every thing she has worked so hard for. I understand that she has her own life to live; that is something that everyone needs to understand. We all live our lives and make mistakes and do things that some people don't always agree with, but it's our life. Just like she is living her life. I will always be a Taylor Swift fan, due to how she always handles herself so gracefully even through the most messiest situations.
Hopefully with all the new life changes Taylor has made over the past year, we will maybe see an album release within the next few months! I can't wait to see where her stories take us next!
