I probably like Taylor Swift and cats more than I should.                       Born in 1999

Ultimately, this version sounds like it’d fit right in on Red, 1989’s predecessor, and proves it’s not the glitzy costumes or surprise celeb guests that make her a show - stopping performer - it’s her pure talent.

Hi! So here it is, the finished song. Firstly, I would like to apologise in advance for both the sound of my singing and the general quality of this video. I spent a lot of time working to perfect the song-and I’m still not completely happy with it-and by the time I actually got round to recording it, I’d caught a cold which means I do sound kind of strained and it’s not ideal :( But I couldn’t let everyone down! 

So let me just start off by tagging taylorswift. I didn’t want this video to be focused around me and the way you’ve changed my life so I kept it short, but I want you to know that you’ve had an extraordinary impact on my life over the past six and a half years. I want to thank you, here and now, for helping me through some of the toughest times of my whole entire life. You’ve been the one constant when everything else has fallen apart. One Swiftie involved in this project summed it up perfectly: I have never felt alone because I’ve always had your music. That’s an incredible thing. You’ve taught me how to be confident, fearless and strong, and how to shake off the mean things people say. Every word of this song is true and working alongside such amazing people has made me realise that we all feel the same way about you, Taylor, and if I walk away from life having accomplished one thing, I want it to be making you know how much you mean to us. You might never see this, but you might, and it’s that hope that keeps me smiling, day in, day out. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know where I’d be right now. I’m so glad I found you. 

Not only has your music helped me through a lot, but you have too, even if you do not know it. Because of you, and the person you are, and the things you’ve experienced, I was encouraged to start writing songs. Two years ago, I picked up a guitar for the very first time. I was going through a lot in my life. All of my friends had turned against me, I found a guy who I thought I could always turn to, and he broke my heart. It was worse because, as you sung in ‘Teardrops on my Guitar’ all those years ago, he really was the only one who had enough of me to break my heart. And he did. I thought I didn’t have anyone left, and I turned cold. I was convinced life would never get easier. I slipped into a self destructive pattern of waking up, going to school, and then coming home just to stare at a wall. I barely ate, I never slept. I’m not proud of the person I became. By this point, I’d been a fan of yours for a good four years. I loved your music, your lyrics, your ability to put feelings into words, feelings that I couldn’t begin to explain. But it wasn’t until two years ago that I really started listening. And then I realised that I could channel my negative thoughts into positive things. And I did. I picked up a guitar, I learned to play piano and I started to write things down. My life was transformed and within six months I was addicted to songwriting. I loved the way it happened differently every time and how three people could manage to inspire a million different songs. Thank you for getting me through that. And thank you for helping me become who I am today (AKA a much happier human being). 

Like I said, I don’t want this to be focused around me at all. So now, here’s the important part. Tagging all of the wonderful Swifties who made this project a success: 

I would just like to thank all of these beautiful, beautiful people for sending me so many lovely replies. I was completely overwhelmed by the response and it’s given me the confidence to share one of my songs with the world (something I’ve never had the courage to do before). 

We love you Tay, forever and always xo

This was the first swiftie project I took part in when I joined tumblr and it’s still one of my favourites.

This is literally one of the most genius songs ever recorded. Sara’s label demanded she include more love songs on her album and what does she do? She writes a tongue-in-cheek love song that isn’t about anyone, dragging their asses and it becomes one of her most popular singles to date. Iconic.

Taylor Swift albums’ summary is one sentence.

Taylor Swift : having crush on someone.

Fearless : your first innocent relationship.

Speak Now : A much mature relationship.

Red: the aftermath of heartbreak.

1989 : Remembering a relationship and realizing the importance of your self.
