My name is Amanda. I’m 15 and I will turn 16 on January 30th. I started listening to your music when I was 7 years old. The first concert I ever went to was the Speak Now World Tour in DC. That was such a fun day!! :) Growing up you have been my biggest inspiration (you still are.) 5th grade was when the bullying started. I felt so alone, and I didn’t have many friends. I would dread going to school and as soon as I came home from school I would run up to my room and blast your music super loud. I would listen all day. I was bullied in middle school as well. Listening to your music got me through some very tough times. Depression, anxiety, bullying, self image issues.. you name it. I just want you to know that you are one of the reasons I am still alive today, and I will ALWAYS support you. :) Thank you for being such a great person and role model. I can’t even put it into words how much you mean to me. I love you so much and I hope I’ll get to meet you someday. I also saw you in concert on July 13th at Nationals Park!! That was definitely the best night of my life. I think that night was the happiest I’ve ever been in a long time. Hopefully I’ll see you soon! Love, Amanda ❤️
