Clean

Yes, Taylor has an amazing song titled "Clean", but I'm not just talking about her song when I say that she is a great inspiration because she keeps it clean. Celebrity after celebrity we watch as some of our favorite stars get caught up in the Hollywood/Rockstar lifestyle. Many celebrities get into some big trouble with drugs and other not so clean things. We all watched as Miley Cyrus fell off of her rocker for a while and went a little crazy. Taylor is somebody that has really strived to keep a good role model reputation, and in my opinion,  has been very successful. She is a prime example of somebody who stays clean in appearance, language and action. She is the type of celebrity every mom should want their daughters to look up to. Her music rarely has foul language or is too raunchy. She keeps her clothes on both on stage and in photo shoots. So unlike many of our celeb favorites who have fallen victim to a much more unclean lifestyle, we can still look to good old Tay Tay for a shining example. Thanks for keeping it clean Taylor Swift, you make it all the better to try and be like you.

Dedication to the fans

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons people love and adore Taylor Swift is her dedication to her fans. She has such a strong fan base because she has shown time and time again that she loves and supports her fans. There is hardly a day that goes by where she doesn't do something to help one of her fans, or does something freakin awesome for the "Swiftie Nation". Just the other day she donated 10,000 dollars to a young boy with autism so that he could afford a therapy dog that he wanted and would not otherwise be able to get. This is something that is very common for Taylor to do. 
Delaney Clements is a young 13 year old girl with cancer. One of her greatest wishes was to meet Taylor Swift. After Taylor caught wind of this little girl, she made a pit stop in Delaney's hometown in Colorado to pay her a surprise visit on her way home to Tennessee for the holidays. 
On another occasion, Taylor went Christmas shopping for some of her random fans, wrapped them herself, and delivered them. She is truly and inspiration and knows how to show her fans that she cares about them. Below I have posted the video that Taylor made in December 2014 of her Christmas shopping journey. This video is a perfect example of the kind of person Taylor is. It is also a perfect example of the people that we should all strive to be. Enjoy!

Captivating 1989

Last September, I had chills from head to toe as I looked around a stadium filled with nearly 30,000 people. Each lit up with their very own L.E.D. bracelet, synchronizing to the music at Taylor Swift's 1989 world tour. Her ability to captivate an audience is unreal. The ideas behind what makes her concerts so great, stem from her own imagination and ability to captivate. Taylor has the unique talent of making every person that attends her concert feel like they matter, and she is always very grateful to each of her fans. Her speeches in between songs are also memorizing as every individual person in a swarm of thousands of people feel as though Taylor is just talking to them. At least that is how I felt. The lights, the music, the inspirational advice, the fans, the people she brings on stage with her, all contribute to making her concerts so unforgettable. For those of you who have never experienced one of Taylor's concerts, I have posted a video below that might give you a small taste. 
So how do we go about captivating those around us just as Taylor Swift has so obviously mastered? Keep the fans in mind. Taylor focuses on her fans and making their experience amazing, and that is why people love her performances. Because she cares. So we need to learn from Taylor and put forth effort into considering those around us as well as their needs, wants and desires. This will help us captivate our own "fans". #beliketaylor
