Since October 2014, we’ve all been jamming out to “Shake it Off,” but it turns out Taylor Swift has some pretty wise words of advice herself. Tay has been put through some pretty tough criticism by the media, but somehow, she always seems to stay positive. Here are 15 times Taylor said exactly what you need to hear to make it through today.

1. On staying true to who you are:

Because sometimes the only person you want to be is anyone but yourself.

2. On ignoring the haters:

"Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate."

3. On being brave:

Remember this the next time you skip the scary movie.

4. On being single:

Did you watch Freddie from "iCarly"'s wedding video? Did you also cry hysterically and feel like you were staring into a black hole of singularity?

5. On learning from tough experiences:

Sometimes it hurts really badly, and everyone stinks, but know you're learning from it.

6. On fashion:

Even though they can be the hardest to find, happiness and confidence make the best accessories.

7. On feminism:

Enough said.

8. On comparing yourself to others:

Sometimes that girl's eyeliner is too much, and you think you'll never be as beautiful.

9. On getting to know yourself:

Being single can suck, but just remember these wise words.

10. On owning who you are:

Show the haters who's in charge.

11. On having the last word:

Because sometimes the temptation to get the last word, the last laugh, the last burn, can be too much to handle.

12. On being unique:

So start loving yourself.

13. On moving on:

Everyone should say this to themselves in the mirror each morning.

14. On red lipstick:

You get five emotional minutes, and then you gotta throw on some red lipstick and be on point.

15. On being kind:

Even though it would be so much easier to be mean, to say something hurtful or to shoot a stink eye, what's better is to be known for your kindness.
