Taylor Swift
I realize I may sound extremely girly by saying this, but I feel it appropriate after The Grammy’s last night where Taylor Swift won the most honored award: Album of The Year. It is true Taylor Swift doesn’t sing the best live. Not many people do. And let’s face it, she is 18 or 19, just starting her career and singing in front of millions of people. I would be just a smidge nervous too. It is also true, that she is young and therefore her lyrics have that same naive feel to them. But does that somehow make them less extraordinary? I think that is exactly why she is reaching so many girls, young ladies and even women. I remember what it was like to be a teenage girl. All the boy drama and insecurities. Taylor writes about things that I wish I had been brave enough to write or talk about at that age or even now. And she writes about all the most important feelings and experiences that teenage girls go through. Yes, mostly involving boys and the first feelings of love. I love putting in her cd and for just 30 minutes or so feeling like an unfazed kid again. At the ridiculous age of 14, she was writing hit songs for other artists and she got the guts to decide she wanted that life for herself. Who does that? Any of it? Remarkable. She decided what she wanted and went after it and I think she is darn talented. I’m not sure what I mean when I say this, but her songs have this limitless feel to them. You can tell that she is a girl that has the whole world in the tiny palm of her hand. She hasn’t really experienced the normalcy of this life, because she never even thought it possible. Normalcy that is. She’s always been a big dreamer and it’s paid off. I think she’ll be around for years to come. And I can’t wait to see her grow through her music. It will be amazing and fun to watch.
