No, I Am Not A Taylor Swift Fan

I can't say that I don't enjoy some of her music because that would be a lie; I just can't be a Taylor Swift fan.

No, I Am Not A Taylor Swift Fan
Billboard

Taylor Swift is a popular name among this generation. She's always nominated for at least one award at all the music awards each year and she's constantly in the headlines. She's very successful, as she's always at the top of the charts for her music. Some her songs even stay at the top for more than a year; however, her music isn't the only thing she's known for. Obviously, celebrities are going to be in the press for their every move because, well, they're famous. Taylor, though, seems to make the news pretty often for her altercations with other celebrities as well.

Taylor Swift started her career very young, as she was only 14 years old when she was first signed by Sony Music. She released her first album in 2006, titled Taylor Swift. Since her debut album, she has released 4 albums since then, Fearless, Speak Now, Red and 1989. Last month, she released a single from her new album (Reputation) titled "Look What You Made Me Do." At the beginning of her career, Swift was strictly a country artist, but Red and 1989 started her transition into the pop music genre.


Now, with all of her musical accomplishments in mind, we can all agree Taylor Swift is a very talented musician. She has even been known to do philanthropy work and to donate money to causes she believes in; however, I just can't bring myself to be a fan of hers. Because not only does she provide us with new music each year, but she also seems to be involved with some kind of new drama too. She's had Twitter drama with a number of celebs, such as Nicki Minaj and Kim and Kanye West. Not only was there some kind of disagreement between them, but it all usually makes its way onto Twitter for the whole world to see. Taylor Swift is 27 years old, and though it may not always be her fault, she's always wrapped up in high school type drama on social media. You can find articles upon articles of the "back and forths" she's been a part of over the years.

Another big thing with Taylor Swift was her "squad" ordeal. Her friend group was constantly being referred to as her squad and many of the friends in this group were in her "Bad Blood" music video. Nothing wrong with this right? Well, there wouldn't be if there wasn't constant gossip about "who Taylor kicked out of her group now." It seems that she's always having an issue with someone, therefore she is removing someone or they're removing their self from her squad. She really does seem to have bad blood with a number of other celebs. That's just too much built up anger and drama for someone who has such a successful career doing what they love to do.

Her recent release of "Look What You Made Me Do" was also kind of a disappointment for those that are "Swifties". It wasn't her typical pop, or even her old country music, style. It seemed to be a more angry song about revenge since she is now referred to as the "new Taylor Swift." This is the second time she's kind of reinvented herself, the first being her switch from country to pop music. There's nothing wrong with wanting to change your style every once in awhile, but sometimes it seems like this is Taylor's way of making sure she stays relevant.

She should take the advice of one of her songs from the album 1989 and just "Shake It Off." The famous ones are always going to have those who dislike them, but that doesn't mean you have to do anything about it or even acknowledge it. You don't have to stray from who you are, Taylor, just to stay in the headlines. You're talented and your music will take you far, but your drama and scandals will not.

I can't say that I don't enjoy some of her music because that would be a lie; I just can't be a fan of hers. I would never be able to look up to her as a role model because she doesn't set the best example for her younger fan base. She's an extremely talented musician, and she always has been, but she lets the drama get the best of her too many times to count.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
