I've seen Taylor Swift in concert twice now, own all of her CD's, and look up to her as a person. She's a great musician, as well as there is a multitude of reasons she deserves some credit around here.
1. She writes from the heart.
Whether she's telling a love story or a tale about a friend, you can tell she really puts her feelings into her work.
2. She is the youngest recipient of the Grammy award for 'Best Album'.
GiphyShe received them for 'Fearless'.
3. She's as good as the Beatles...
GiphyAccording to a Taylor Swift Fan Page, "Swift is the first artist since Beatles to have four consecutive albums (Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989) log six or more weeks at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart."
4. She breaks genre stereotypes.
GiphyStarting off in country, Taylor has broken that mold and moved into more of a pop genre.
6. She encourages young people to vote.

10. She knows how to throw shade too.
She posed in a bathtub during the "Look What You Made Me Do" music video, mocking Kim Kardashian's robbery where she was gagged and thrown in a bathtub. Classy.
11. She loves animals, especially her cats Meredith and Olivia.
12. She’s won the most American Music Awards ever awarded to a single artist in history.
13. And she’s still just a regular young woman.
