A tribute to Taylor Swift!

Ok, before you skip past this post and say "Taylor  Swift, ugh!", hear me out. I do love her. But let me reassure you that it is not a teeny-bopper-dated-a-Jonas-brother type of love. My reasons for my love of Taylor Swift comes solely from her music. Sure, she is quite beautiful. She has the appeal, but I personally just enjoy her music. 

Now, I do have a Taylor Swift ringtone. This can make for embarrassing moments when I forget to turn it off. Love it when "Our song is a slammin' screen door..." interrupts a meeting or something.....it's a little embarassing. 

Now back to my Taylor Swift adoration. I just think she is impressive. Not fantastic live, but I love her music! On her CD "Fearless" she wrote ALL of the songs. Wow! 

Here are some of my favorite lyrics: 

From "Fifteen": 

In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football tea/but I didn't know that at fifteen/ When all you wanted was to be wanted/wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now.

From "Change"

It was the night things changed/do you see it now?/ These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down/It's a revolution, throw your hands up/cause we never gave in/and we'll sing Hallelujah/we sang Hallelujah/Hallelujah.

From "Breathe"

Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie/it's the kinda ending that you don't really want to see/cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down/now I don't know what to be without you around..

*Note: me typing the lyrics out from memory is not nearly as good as hearing them. :)

Now you may scoff at my Taylor Swift love. You may think it is weird. That is okay. But I am not ashamed that I love her music and it is what I listen to when I walk the dog or go to the gym. So you rock on, Taylor Swift. You have a fan in me. 

Much love, 

Allison

P.S. I was going to post a picture of Taylor Swift in this post, but all of them seemed creepy. Google Images Taylor Swift and you will see what I mean. But still, I like her. 

P.P.S. Her CD comes with a Taylor Swift poster. I thought about hanging it in my closet, but I decided that I had to draw the line somewhere.
