T-Swift's New Album Takes the World by Storm (Again)

T-Swift's New Album Takes the World by Storm (Again)

There are some pop songs that make even the most subtle of head-nodding or foot-tapping unavoidable. Taylor Swift is perhaps the most famous artist putting out these kinds of songs right now. 

On Oct. 27, T-Swift released her newest album titled "1989." Unsurprisingly, she broke new records, selling over 1.3 million copies in the first week of release. Swift is certainly setting the bar for all other pop artists and only raising it higher and higher with each new release. 

I'm no Swift connoisseur. I bought the album on a whim, after receiving a trusted recommendation. But I must say, I've been pleasantly surprised. 

Mackenzie Coleman, a junior Chi Omega, is arguably Taylor's biggest fan. She describes herself as completely committed to the artist. So committed that she asked for wood floors for Christmas in seventh grade, after finding out T-Swift loves wood floors. Clearly Coleman is an undying supporter of T-Swift's new album. But I must say, she makes a good case.

Coleman says the experience of listening to "1989" is "like having glitter confetti fall on your ears." Sounds like a pretty rockin' experience to me! She also says T-Swift's other albums have reflected on the past, but this one is special because it is all about being in the moment. The here and now. A notion that is all too easily forgotten with our generation. To Mackenzie Coleman and so many other fans, Taylor Swift is accessible, telling a universal story with each of her new singles. 

The moral of the story is if you want an artist who can give you a groovy beat and all the feels on one album, T-Swift is your girl. She's truly taking the world by storm and doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. I've underestimated Taylor Swift since her rise to fame. Until now, I had never taken the time to truly listen to her music, and now, she has gained yet another fan. As Coleman puts it, "Why wouldn't you want to root for someone who's rooting for you?"

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.
