Hey Stephen I Know Looks Can Be Deceiving…

Taylor Swift is a household name. She has sold over 10 million albums and has won over 15 awards in her short but amazing career. She sings about everything. From breakups and cheating boys, to being a love and then broken hearted. She sings about her family and her dreams and everything else in between! Personally, I love her music. It is my opinion that she sings from her heart and that is why so many like myself have been able to connect with her music! If I am feeling sad and discouraged, I reach for my ipod and listen to her songs and I feel comforted. If I am in a good mood and want to dance around and be silly, I click play on the Taylor! I am going to her concert at the Well in May and I cannot wait! Taylor Swift tickets might have been one of the best birthday presents I have ever gotten! :D

Unfortunately, not everyone shares my love for her music, making Taylor Swift is no stranger to criticism. There was Kanye West and his onstage rant as she claimed her Mtv Moonman and her very vocal critics who declared her to be pitchy, but despite it all she has remained true to herself. Instead of listening to everyone tell her what she can’t achieve, she worked harder and released a second cd. In Swift’s words, “If you’re lucky enough to be different from everybody else… Don’t change to be the same.”

To me Taylor Swift is more than just a singer; she is a role model. Some young stars choose to party their way to rehab and slowly sink their careers, but not Taylor. In a world full of tabloids and gossip and fake tans, Taylor Swift stands out as real. She is a real girl with real problems and a positive outlook.
