Besides having the most notable exes of the century, an amazing voice, extremely relatable songs and perfect hair, Taylor has many other great qualities. She has done many things in her short 25 years to become a huge inspiration to all of us. She is the epitome of #goals (in my opinion), and here's why:
She constantly donates her time to her fans.
If you are any bit of a Swiftie, I'm sure you've heard of Taylor recently holding 'secret sessions' with some of her fans to hear her latest album, "1989!" She invited people into her home to hear the album before it was released, and I even saw some videos of them getting to eat fresh-baked cookies!! (Made by Taylor, HERSELF!) Can we say, "lucky?!"
Following Taylor on Tumblr is also a great way to see how she keeps in touch with her fan base! You can tell that she actually cares about interacting with her supporters. It gives me hope that there are still genuinely nice people on this earth. A few weeks ago, she responded by giving a fan fashion advice on what to wear to prom, and it went VIRAL! Here is a link to Taylor's Tumblr.
When met with criticism from other celebrities, she always takes the high road.
I'm sure we all remember the 2009 incident with Kanye West at the Grammy's, so no need to elaborate on that one. Except to say that Taylor DEFINITELY responded like the bigger person and didn't let his rude remarks phase her! But more recently, it has been reported on social media that Miley Cyrus posted some type of photo on Instagram with Taylor and Justin Beiber's faces on each other's bodies and called them "A cute lesbian couple." You can see below how Taylor responded, like the boss b*tch that she is. This shows us how we should all respond to our haters: kill em' with kindness, honey!
She helped a fan pay off her student loans.
So jealous. Taylor, if you ever read this, please name your next album "One Million" and hook your girl up!
On a slightly serious note, you don't see many artists send their fans money like this, or even take the time to reach out to fans. It goes to show how giving Tay-Tay truly is. She is a person who indeed shares the wealth! Rebekah Bortniker gained Taylor's attention on social media when she made a video clip of various moments in Taylor's career set to the theme song of the television series "F.R.I.E.N.D.S." Here is the video of Rebekah's opening of Taylor's gifts!
It is not many times in a young girls life that she doesn't feel insecure or like she made the wrong decision in dumping some lame guy who was probably cheating on her anyway. But Taylor made us ALL feel like we were right for once! We deserve true HAPPINESS and we shouldn't settle! Yes, Taylor Swift did make me cry that night, and I am not one bit ashamed to admit it! I'm telling you, if you ever feel like you're just a plastic bag drifting through the wind and you want to start again but you don't know how, put on some Taylor, or go see her in concert, or just read up on her life! She is someone whom I sincerely admire. Taylor is by far one of the most positive and uplifting celebrities of our time, and I can't think of anyone who would beg to differ. I recently got the chance to see her in concert and it was truly life-changing. She can connect and empathize with so many different types of people. No matter what your going through in life, she tells you to "Shake It Off," and take it easy on yourself! She told a crowd full of teenage girls that we deserve complete honesty from men, and that we're beautiful and that it's ok to not be completely ok all the time. She told us when we're feeling low that we should always remember the good times, and everyone believed her. That is the power of a truly inspirational woman.
We could all use a little bit of T-Swizzle in our lives.
