It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest fan of Taylor Swift. For starters, her music isn’t exactly my taste to begin with. But what really bugs me about T.Swift? Her ability to put down and shame others through her music. Sure her lyrics are catchy, but something about the way she talks about other people really rubs me the wrong way {and typically it's no secret as to whom she's talking about. case in point: dear john}.
I know a lot of artists use past experiences for inspiration for their songs--totally understandable. But as I was telling my friend just yesterday, there's a way to do it in a classy manner {Adele, anyone?}, and then there's.... Taylor's way. After listening to her music, who would want to date the chick? You just know that if things go wrong or end badly you’re going to have a gaggle of teenage girls hating you too and singing along on Top 40 radio.
I think when you end a relationship sourly, especially if you’re on the receiving end of the hurt, it’s easy to lash out and point fingers. You want the person to hurt just as much as they’ve hurt you—so if you’re in a position as Taylor as is, why not write a song about him and let people know about his shortcomings?
But as "they" say... the best revenge is living well. Nothing speaks louder than moving on and not letting your past hold you back. Words cut deep, sure, but I promise he’ll regret his decision and the hurt he caused if you a) find a boy 10 times cuter {a girl can dream} or b) move on and not look back for even a second.
So next time you have the urge to get even, whether it's blasting him on Facebook or slashing his tires {don’t pretend you haven’t entertained those ideas} think about how much better it will feel to make him squirm… make him THINK that you are much better off without him and I promise that will hurt worse than any song or poorly written Facebook diatribe.
PS... It should be noted that I'm sure Taylor is an incredibly nice girl who deserves someone great.
PPS... Adele and Taylor Swift are the same age. Does this blow your mind as much as it blows mine??
they're the same age?! mind officially blown.
ReplyDeleteThats seriously shocking that they're the same age! Adele seems so much older/more mature.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't lie and say that I'm not a Taylor fan (I am) but another thing I hate about her songs is how about half of them are about stealing other girl's boyfriends (speak now; you belong with me). I know she always portrays the other girls as mean and stuck up but it maybe seems a little psycho to me haha. I love her ones that are sweet, cute, and romantic though!
