The Linkage Between Taylor Swift And One Tree Hill

Instagram and Twitter, TMZ and "E! News", talk-shows and anything in between, we live in a society that is fascinated with the lives of the rich and famous. We are intrigued by their cool lives, the fun things they do, and the interesting things they have. Yet we also look to see that they're normal, that they're just like you and me. We can find a little bit of that in Taylor Swift. She's already shown us that she knows the struggles of dating (even if her list of guys is filled with celebs) and that she's an obsessive cat-lover. What many may not know, or might not have thought of, is T-Swizzle's love of "One Tree Hill".

It's one of the most common shows to binge on Netflix, but it's clear she watched it as it premiered on television, making her an original and vintage OTHfan. We see this love in the early stage of her career in her music videos for "Teardrops on My Guitar," "White Horse," and "You Belong With Me."

OTH viewers, at the time of one of Taylor's early hits, "Teardrops on My Guitar," have seen Tyler Hilton play the role of egotistical Chris Keller. He has performed at Tric, almost broken up Haley and Nathan's marriage, caused major conflict in Brooke and Lucas's relationship, and crashed another high school's prom with the gang.


We first see an OTH presence in Taylor Swift's music video for "Teardrops on My Guitar." Tyler Hilton played her love interest, Drew, in the video. He's completely clueless to Taylor's character's affections, admiration, and major crushing.

At the time of Taylor's music video for "White Horse", OTH viewers have seen Stephen Colletti in the role of Chase Adams. He's the new guy, then the Clean Teen guy, the Brooke Davis boyfriend, and always the great and kind friend/companion.

In the world of Taylor Swift, Stephen Colletti is the charming guy in "White Horse" who ends up breaking Swift's heart by cheating. It's been said that she chose him because of his loving and endearing attitude, kind of like what we see when he's playing Chase.

"That's always the hardest thing when someone who completely has you fooled so much that you think they're never gonna hurt you. And then they do. That's when you get the worst heartbreak", Taylor said.

This final connection is a little less obvious, but it lines up a little too much to just be a coincidence. Taylor Swift's music video for "You Belong With Me" has a plot similar to the Tree Hill gang's senior prom in season four of the show. There are two feuding girls who are caught in a love triangle.

Girl number one is a brunette girl wearing a red dress is the vilified character and doesn't get the guy.

Girl number two is a blonde girl wearing a white dress, and she gets the guy in the end.


The guy in the love triangle is blonde and goes by 'Lucas.'

and actor Lucas Till.

Mind. Blown.

As an OTH-enthusiast, I get the appeal, I admire her choices, and I'd love to see more. Finding evidence that celebs actually have real lives, that they can sit at home and watch TV, and realizing that they don't just walk around all day being famous, is a good discovery.

I personally believe it's likely that Taylor and her squad binge the show during "girls night." Regardless, Taylor, consider this part of my application to join. I'm picking up what you're putting down in your art.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
