Genuine question, why do you like Taylor Swift? (I love her too)

Her beautiful lyrics

Her songwriting skills

Her work ethic

Her involvement in all stages of musical production

Her ability to write meaningful pop music without resorting to the tropes of sex drugs or bodily functions

Her ability to write meaningful country music without resorting to the tropes of trucks beer or girls

The fact that I can listen to her albums thousands of times and still not get sick of them

She’s a ridiculously talented and experienced musician (just listen to her Grammy Pro sessions)

Her humility in all things she does

The fact that she donated over $55,000 to early childhood education

How she supports “unsexy” charities and causes rather than the ones that would get her the most good press

Her political neutrality and how she understands the disproportionate influence she has as a celebrity

the dozens and dozens of friends I’ve made because of her

all the other countries i’ve learned about because of her

The care she puts into her tours and performances

The level of involvement that she keeps in her own management

she is basically the last artist who still has free meet & greets

she invited fans into her fucking house (which do we remember how crazy that is for a celeb to do?!)

she hasn’t given in to the “anything goes” mentality of modern pop culture

her class when dealing with drama

my own disdain for gender norms

She doesn’t take selfies often (not that i dislike people who do take a lot of selfies)

She’s an adorable dork

But can kill a man if necessary

Her enormous vocal growth in the past 10 years

Everyone who has ever met her has only good things to say about her

She twice said if she could have one superpower, it would be healing people

my conservatives’ sympathy for all the shit she’s endured from the media

The fact that she has avoided being absorbed into this social media-centric culture we have today

She has good fashion sense (which is surprisingly rare among singers)

I’ve watched her grow and mature all these years so i’m invested in her well-being

She visits hospitals and supports rape victims legal defense, which few people know about because she tries to keep it a secret

She’s a genuinely good person when no one’s watching, and especially when no one’s watching

Her parents instilled good civic values in her

She, an international celebrity, has interacted with me more than many people who go to my school have

She knows how to stay in her lane and doesn’t insert herself into issues that don’t involve her

idk something about her voice just makes me smile when i hear her

she has all the right friends and all the right enemies

she is extremely self-aware which is why sometimes people accuse her of being “calculating” even though that’s not the same thing

she is easy to defend (ok most of the time)

i would never have learned to code if it wasn’t for her ****friend karlie kloss

she is proud of her business acumen, but at the same time doesn’t make it an overpowering part of her identity

she’s a night owl like me

she was considered a “child prodigy” (yuck) like me and seems to regard it in the same way as me

she generally reacts to things the same way I do

we both have conservative dispositions

she has no allergies like me (thanks meg for that random fact)

#tallpeopleproblems

she enjoys staying home and lurking the internet like me

people expect her to be perfect and sometimes she fails and i understand what she’s going through

she fucks up like the rest of us
