Taylor-Fit

"I've never thought about songwriting as a weapon. I've only thought about it as a way to help me get through love and loss and sadness and loneliness and growing up."

“Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone.”

― Taylor Swift

I am a Swiftie – and I’m proud of it.

I don’t care about her long list of failed relationships (hey, I’m a girl, too), I love her songwriting and I love her songs. Taylor Swift is a girl after my own heart. She writes songs the way I write my stories – full of emotions, at the moment, and so…real. Her way with words, at such a young age, and how she turns her experiences into hit songs, I will always be a fan. I don’t care if her age is closer to my daughter’s. This girl is simply amazing.

There is always a Taylor Swift song for almost anything – when you’re in love, when you’re sad or mad, or happy, when you've just met someone new or when you’re getting over someone, and every emotion there is on the spectrum, as they say. There's not a day in the week that I don't have her on my playlist. There's always a Taylor Day for me.

My Favorite Taylor Songs:

Red

-         A roller coaster of intense emotions, that’s why it’s red. It’s so good, and it’s so bad at the same time. The highs, the lows; the ups, the downs.

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you

Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark gray all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red

Begin Again

-        What can I say, but I love new beginnings, especially after picking up the pieces of a broken heart and the magic brought about by meeting someone new and looking forward to something great.

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

Enchanted

-        The enchantment of meeting someone, it’s like floating after having that connection, of being alive after a long time, and you can’t stop thinking of that someone.

This is me praying that

This was the very first page

Not where the story line ends

My thoughts will echo your name

Until I see you again

These are the words I held back

As I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you

Back to December

-        When you look back at a romance with regret for having ended it. Sort of like an apology song.

Maybe this is wishful thinking,

Probably mindless dreaming,

But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.

I Almost Do

-        Of missing someone and resisting the urge to call, knowing it’s a bad idea.

And I just wanna tell you

It takes everything in me not to call you.

And I wish I could run to you.

And I hope you know that every time I don't

I almost do,

I almost do.

Treacherous

-        Of a love that seemed romantic and perfect, but dangerous.

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night

And I will get you, and get you alone

Your name has echoed through my mind

And I just think you should, think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive and I would

Follow you, follow you home...

I'll follow you, follow you home...

Fearless

-        The title itself propels it to the top of my list. One should remain fearless, even after a series of pains, disappointments. No matter how many times you fall and get hurt, you shouldn't be afraid to stand up and love again.

So baby drive slow

Til we run out of road in this one horse town

I wanna stay right here in this passenger's seat

You put your eyes on me

In this moment now capture it remember it

Well you stood there with me in the doorway my hands shake

I'm not usually this way but

You pull me in and I'm a little more brave

It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something, it's fearless.
