Taylor Swift is likeable but distrubing at the same time
Taylor Swift is someone you can’t really get away from. When you think she’s gone she comes back with another song, album or re-release of an album and she starts chart topping all over again. Fearless sent her on a wild ride, winning every music award possible, so the pressure is kind of on for her now. A couple of weeks ago she released her new single, Mine, which will be on her new album Speak Now! The single was released early because someone leaked it to the interwebs and they didn’t want to lose any money so they just put it out there. Gee, do you think someone will leak her album two weeks before it’s release date so we can get that early too? A girl can only dream, right?
I am a Taylor Swift fan. Her music makes me happy and it’s very carefree. She’s got good lyrics to go with good music. Her music just makes me feel like a girl and I like that. Today her video was released in a big way. I think I read something about the video being released on CMT and MTV at the same time, but I just saw it on the web.
The video is cute. It’s very Taylor Swift. And it’s a good representation of the song. If you didn’t know what the song meant before you know now. There’s one thing I can’t get past though: Taylor Swift as a mom. I am aware that she is old enough to be a mom and she would probably be a really fun mom. But it’s weird to see her acting that out in the video. I don’t know why it made me feel uncomfortable…maybe I do.
The last time we saw Taylor in a video she was a. singing about the boy next door not liking her back because she’s on the bleachers and not a cheerleader and b. she was in a forest singing about her best friend losing her virginity to a boy…and they cried all night. By the way, I hope Abigail was OK with Taylor spreading her personal business (because that’s a very personal subject) with everyone in the world! There wasn’t really a transition from high school to marriage and it just really rubbed me the wrong way, BUT I did like the video.
It was girlie, soft, and very Taylor. I liked the pictures hanging from the tree. I didn’t like how she seemed to be hamming it up for the camera. I kind of got the sense that she knew she was big stuff from her actions. It just didn’t seem like a normal Taylor video because it seemed so forced; it wasn’t natural like White Horse or even Fifteen! All in all, the song is a hit and the video is a hit too. I can’t wait until the album comes out!

I’ve been battling with my blog because not enough interesting things happen in life for me to blog about. I also see that blogging about life is just too broad for me. I need a purpose; I need a subject; I need a direction! So I’m thinking about the things that I love and do. [...]
While I was in the state of sleepy this morning, I opened up Real Simple magazine to an article about energy boosters and drainers. This is a very interesting piece they put together here and I suggest everyone should read it in this month’s issue of the magazine. But one of the many suggestions was [...]
I don’t know what it is but my mom and I butt heads all the time and sometimes it’s not good. Sometimes I attribute it to us being so much alike; after all she is my mother. And then there are times when I see how we’re totally different from each other and I think [...]
My mother bought me flowers for my birthday. I’m not really a flowers type of girl but these were pretty. She bought them because they matched the flowers on the car she gave me. Along with buying me my lovely Diana Mini camera, she also got me some Ole Miss stuff. As a present to [...]
Today is my birthday; I’m one year older. So far it’s been a great birthday…and I got presents. That doesn’t really happen to often. And I had a fun trip with my best friends the past two weekends. Many things have happened in this past year. It’s weird how things change in a year. This [...]
This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending some time in Gulf Shores, AL for my best friends birthday! There has been huge talk about the oil spill ruining the beautiful white sand beaches of Alabama and Florida and it’s a sad sad thing. But these cities depend on tourism and we shouldn’t stop [...]
Politics is something I am passionate about in life. I’m not one of those people who pushes their political views down your throat, I listen and I share…but I don’t argue. I’m not afraid to not talk about something because I truly don’t understand what is going on. And I’m definitely not one of those [...]
Sixteen is the age where everything is important, but nothing really major is going on. It’s all about your friends and what you’ll be doing on Friday night. High school dances and football games (especially in The South) are really what teenage life is about. When I was 16, I had fallen in love but [...]
I have a strong sense of loyalty and commitment in life and sometimes I think it stands in my way. It’s not just toward people, it’s toward everything in my life. I am never one of those people who will not finish a project or completely flake out on someone when I say I’m going [...]
I don’t understand why when a girl/woman is shy or quiet that equals a problem with self-confidence. (And I also don’t understand why that often translates into snobbery, but that’s a whole other issue.) Maybe she just doesn’t have anything to say. I’m a very loquacious, sometimes boisterous when I’m in good company, but only [...]
