Let me tell you the story of my perception of Taylor Swift from her first album. After her first album, Taylor Swift, was released, I didn't really know her and it wasn't until her second album that I heard about her first one. Once I borrowed her second album, Fearless, I listened to nearly all of her songs and I would have considered myself a pretty big fan of her. By the time Speak Now came up, Taylor Swift kind of disappeared from the media screen or maybe her presence just decreased but either way I only listened to a few of her songs.
I barely listened to any of Taylor Swift's songs from Red and it seemed like everyone suddenly became against her. All of a sudden it seemed like everyone started to hate her. Everyone seemed to constantly point out her multiple boyfriends or her rather personal lyrics or her very red lipstick and criticize her for all of it. And at the time, I didn't think much of it, in fact, I also stopped liking her and took on what everyone else told me to think of her.
But once I heard her latest album, I realized that all of the bad things that everyone once said about her didn't change the way she acted and she just kept doing what she wanted to do and for that, I respect her. It doesn't matter whether I like her clothing or her songs but I still respect her as a person.
And to conclude the story of my perceptions of Taylor Swift: I have her Out of the Woods stuck in my head.
Maybe the title of my post was a little bit misleading, I may not LOVE Taylor Swift but I am happy to admit that I learned that even though I don't love her, she stills deserves my respect.
YES FINALLY GOOD JOB IM SO PROUD OF YOU
