Dear Taylor,
It’s been a while since we last spoke, actually almost 2 years now. It’s crazy how time flies by, but I know that you’ve seen things I’ve posted, and I know you know I exist which is pretty cool, to be quite honest.
Let’s get down to business, though. Why I am writing you, you may ask? Well, I have read the recent articles, and I have seen Calvin’s tweet, and I know you need your Swifties, your friends, to be there for you.
Trust me, I have read the headlines and articles, but one thing remains constant within me, even after – you are my favorite human being on this planet. You are countless people’s best friends, including mine, and you have been there for us, through your Tumblr posts and music, so we are going to be there for you.
I am a proud member of the TBI – the Taylor Bureau of Investigation. I have been since roughly 2011. You handpicked me and countless others to come over and listen to ‘1989’ pre-release. We were there for you when everything seemed to be negative – all the headlines, all the posts, and all the jokes. We are going to be there for you now, too, when it is starting to get dark once again.
I know I am just a 21-year-old girl who is just a future educator obsessed with you, but I want to tell you a few things you need to remember, and here they are:
1. You are more than what they all say.
2. You are not a serial dater.
3. Walking through rainstorms gets you clean.
4. You are a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need no man.
5. You write more than just break-up songs, and there really is nothing wrong with expressing your emotions through your songwriting.
6. You are a beautiful human being – inside and out.
7. It’s really okay to be not okay.
8. Surround yourself with your squad – it’s okay to just have your friends and no boyfriend.
9. You have won awards that are named after YOU.
10. You have a net worth more than most people have when you count their entire family’s worth. So that has to count for something, right?
11. 2012 called and wants its jokes back – so don’t listen to the album jokes.
12. You are more than just an artist – you are a real person.
13. Taylor Swift was an excellent beginning; Fearless was your rise to stardom; Speak Now WAS LITERALLY WRITTEN BY YOU AND YOU ONLY; Red should’ve won 13 Grammys; 1989 was a great way to come back and say to the world, “Life’s a game, and I am winning.” The next album will be killer, too, whenever it is written.
Your Swifties love you, and I need you to remember that every single day of your life. I love you, and I will never stop supporting you. Like you said, you have been the longest and best relationship I have ever had, and you have made me who I am today.
My weird heart loves your weird heart,
Sydney
