Taylor Swift

Dear You,

So if you know me, you know that I love Taylor Swift. I think she's a brilliant songwriter and all around wonderful person. But hearing some other people's thoughts on her has got me thinking and I think it's important to talk about it. 

So many times I have heard that she has had 'too many boyfriends' and that 'she only ever writes about her ex boyfriends'. However there is the counterargument of one: she writes about many other parts of life and two: every songwriter writes about their relationships. 

Not once in my life have I heard someone slam One Direction, Sam Smith, Drake, or even other top female artists like Demi Lovato for writing about past relationships. Taylor Swift is where she is because she writes good songs about her life, a life that many people around the world find relatable and writing that many find beautiful, applicable, and helpful. If someone chooses to be in her life, they know what she's going to do, the same as every other songwriter: write songs. 

Some of my favorite songs of hers have nothing to do with love... Shake it Off is awesome and uplifting and has a very positive message. A song called Never Grow Up is probably the cutest things I've ever heard. 22 is me and my sister's song, just about loving your friends and enjoying life. Mean is the old "Shake it Off" type song and is my most motivational song on runs. And even one of her many good songs about love like her newest "Out of the Woods" is criticized for absolutely no reason. 

There are songs that talk about old flames in a negative light like I Knew You Were Trouble but in those same songs, she accepts her rightful blame for the demise of the troublesome relationship. And everyone goes through those types of relationships and I think it's important to write about and know about. 

Just because everyone obsesses over the person the songs are written about and takes sides doesn't mean the writer ever intended that. If anyone is to blame, I think it's those who judge and attempt to place blame on a piece of art whose only intention was to inspire and help. 

Anyways, end of mini rant. Overall, I just wish people would be less judgmental, especially when that person has done nothing but write about their lives.

Have a Wonderful Day
