Let me begin by saying that, I do in fact understand that I am a 34-year-old mother of 3. I am also a huge Taylor Swift fan. I have several friends who have given me grief for being such a "Swifty," but I simply do not care. Here is my open letter to Taylor Swift, explaining why I am head over heels in love with her.
Dear Taylor Swift,
You are adorable. Sometimes I pretend to be your beautiful, fancy older sister who gets to jet set with you all over the globe. You are remarkable. I am in awe of your song writing talents and ability to engineer social media. You are undoubtedly a genius. I am impressed with your musical talents, but also your business and marketing skills. You have become a very accomplished individual at a very young age. Being a mother, I am grateful to you as an artist and competent role model. My children all adore your music and I am happy that they can listen to it. Your music videos are all safe for their eyes, and you have given back to the community that has supported you over and over again.
It seems like critics are always waiting for the other shoe to drop with you. They are waiting for you to "Lose it" or get photographed doing illegal or immoral things. To them I say, "Haters gonna hate," to you I say, "Shake it Off." You are a smart business woman, who I am thrilled to have my daughter look up to. You have found a way to make a huge impact while remaining grounded and sane. I applaud your efforts and I wish you the best. I know you will continue to succeed going quintuple platinum on your next three albums. I hope you are happy and find satisfaction with your craft.
I find your music infectious and I can never sit still when listening to your sick beats. I find myself mopping the floors to your energetic tunes. Your lyrics send a message of hope and inspiration, as well as power, to know it is safe to be yourself. You have cornered the market on threenagers, teenagers and thirty-somethings. I look forward to your 1989 tour, and I will see you in October.
Sincerely,
Crazy Mother of 3 Super Fan
P.S. My husband also loves you and uses the 1989 album as his workout mix ;)
