Well, I am very sad to announce that this will be my last ever blog post under this name. It has been truly an amazing experience writing about one of my greatest idols and favorite celebrities. There is nothing I would rather write about than Taylor Swift and the amazing person she is. So before I walk away, I can't help but give one last shout out to all the Tswift lovers out there, and the Queen herself - Taylor. Let us all continue to strive to be a little more like her everyday. And if you come across any haters out there, let them hate. Because they clearly don't know what they are talking about. What's not to like about Taylor Swift? So in the words of my girl, "no matter what happens in life, be good people. Being good people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind". Let us be good people. Let us be like Taylor Swift.
Inspiration is one of the most fitting words I can think of when describing the queen herself. We have already discussed her deep and loyal love and respect for her fans, but did you know that she has gone to great lengths to try and inspire her fans to have confidence and love them for who they are. One of the most inspirational moments I have had with Taylor, was at her 1989 concert. Before singing the song "Clean" Taylor gave a speech that nearly brought a crowd of thousands to tears. She talked about how nobody is perfect, and no matter where you go in life there are going to be people who try to bring you down. She strives to get the message out that we need to care less about what people think of us, and love ourselves for who we are. "You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you." Taylor always makes it a point to be a part time motivational speaker as she travels around the world for her tours. She helps everyone feel like they belong and like they matter. I remember leaving that concert actually feeling inspired and a little better about myself because Taylor created that feeling in me. If only we could all be this way, and make it a life goal to make people feel important everywhere we go. This is another thing we need to strive to do while trying to be more like Taylor. And for those of you who haven't had the privilege of hearing her awesome Clean speech, I have posted it below for you to watch. I hope you all walk away feeling a little bit more inspired just as I did.
If only we could all be as humble, and perfectly humorous as Taylor Swift. This week she out did herself by being the face of Apple music in an absolutely hilarious commercial. If you haven't seen this commercial already, you need to do so. I have posted it below for all of you awesome swifties to laugh at, cry at and thoroughly enjoy. This commercial shows Taylor rapping "Jumpman" on a treadmill. After a short time passes, she completely eats crap and then finishes the rap on the ground as the words "distractingly good" pop up on the screen. The best part about this commercial is when Taylor herself posted it on social media, she captioned it "based on true events". So yes, Taylor did indeed actually face-plant on a treadmill while working out. The lesson we learn from Taylor here is to learn to laugh a ourselves, and not to be embarrassed or ashamed of the funny mistakes we make. Instead, rock them! She is extremely humble, and is a great example of not being afraid of what others think. She is able to laugh at her imperfect moments and not be ashamed. My hope is that we can all learn to do this. If we can, then may our lives be less stressful and more Taylor like.
