"New Romantics" Is Taylor Swift's Next Single And That's The Best Idea Ever
tswiftdaily.com/

Swifties everywhere can now rejoice because the day we have all been waiting for has finally come: "New Romantics" is officially the next single off of 1989! The announcement was made on Taylor Swift's twitter account just days after the 10 time Grammy winner brought home the Album of the Year award for the second time in her career.

To those who might be unfamiliar with the song, "New Romantics" is a bonus track from 1989's deluxe edition, which might sound like a peculiar choice for a radio single, but it's actually a huge fan favorite. In fact, most would probably say that it's the best song off of the entire album - something that Rolling Stone would likely agree with considering that they declared "New Romantics" as the second best song of 2014.

So why now? This is the sixth and (probably) final single off of this album. Why did it need to be "New Romantics" and not "Welcome To New York" or "I Know Places" or "How You Get The Girl"?

Perhaps it's because out of all of the album's tracks, "New Romantics" best summarizes exactly what 1989 has been all about: paying homage to 1980s pop while celebrating a newfound sense of self despite a broken heart and negative public opinion.

But not only that, it's just a damn good song--not to mention fun, which has certainly been a major theme of Swift's glittery world tour. And then of course genius lyrics like "we show off our different scarlet letters/trust me mine is better," "cuz baby I can build a castle/out of all the bricks they through at me" and "the rumors are terrible and cruel/but honey most of the them are true" are paired with a pop hook to die for, making this the perfect recipe for a final radio hit (and music video!).

If this single really does signify the farewell to 1989, what a way to go.

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.
