Taylor Swift Announces Political Agenda

I was just fine with, "Love Story."

This past week, Taylor Swift announced that she will be getting more political in her album to come.

If you grew up in the era of T Swift, Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana), and Selena Gomez dominating pop culture of the early 2000s, you are probably just as disappointed as I am.

The Taylor Swift that used to write the love ballads we would all sing along to before we even had our first kiss are being replaced to fulfill a political agenda that so many have already tried to shove down our throats.

When will Hollywood separate their political beliefs from their talent?

When asked about it, Swift claimed that she vowed to torch half of her fan base. Is that what we have turned to? Are we so polarized that these young talents don't want fans that have different political ideologies than them?

Pathetic.

Swift had stayed out of politics up until the most recent midterm elections. According to my research, "She encouraged her 112 million followers to vote for Democrat Phil Bredesen for the Tennessee Senate, and also for Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat who was running for re-election. Her post was also highly critical of Republican Marsha Blackburn." https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-political-undertones-2020-election

Her Instagram post read as follows, "As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me." https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-political-undertones-2020-election

Well, what is more, terrifying than a bunch of Hollywood elitists that have the power and voice to influence a sea of voters?

What people fail to recognize is that these actors, actresses, singers, and songwriters are in their own little bubble on fire out in California and should not have any say in politics if they aren't out there physically trying to make a difference.

Stick to what you know best, T Swift, for the sake of middle school girls everywhere.

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.
