Taylor Swift.

Today, I bought TSwift's new album Speak Now and I have fallen in love with Taylor once again. Every word that she writes reaches me in some aspect. Every one of her songs can describe how I felt about someone or something at some point in my life.

Taylor is a great role model. She personifies class and poise. When I saw her in concert in May, I was overwhelmed with a sense of connection with her. I felt like she was singing for me; I felt as though she was sitting with me in my bedroom with an acoustic guitar and we had be trading stories about life and love... mostly love. 

It's so refreshing to have "Girl-power" mean something other than the power to be sexy and wear nice clothes [although, Taylor makes it VERY clear that she likes sparkly things and dresses]. 

She taught me how to be Fearless.

In this new album, Taylor encourages her listeners to SPEAK NOW; To always say what you need to say, and that you always regret the things you need to say, but don't. This is something that has been on my mind since starting my blog. This has just made me feel almost like I am a part of her music.

I will leave you with some TSwift lyrics that always encourage me.

Change - Taylor Swift - Fearless

And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again and
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you're getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
This revolution, the time will come
For us to finally win
And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah

So we've been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now
Find things they never found
They might be bigger
But we're faster and never scared
You can walk away, say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes
Says we can beat this

Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
This revolution, the time will come
For us to finally win
And we'll sing hallelujah, well sing hallelujah

Tonight we stand, get off our knees
Fight for what we've worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
But we'll stand up champions tonight
It was the night things changed
Can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up
Cause we never gave in
And we sang hallelujah, we sang hallelujah
Hallelujah
