Just a reminder that we are always taking requests! We started this blog before Taylor was on tumblr and still have faith in her seeing it. Happy writing :)

You’re literally the only thing in my life that is going alright. I’m so happy for that.

Dear Taylor - (on the right page this time haha)

Taylor Swift, I think you are incredibly wonderful and talented. You helped me through so many problems in my life, like my arthritis and when my sister almost died, as well as all your typical friendship and sense of self dramas. I just got my heart broken by my first love so i have a feeling I’m going to need you more than ever ;) I went to your concert two years ago and it was the most magical night. Thank you for being you, lots of love all the way from New Zealand!

love, intothedarkandwonderfulunknown

I cannot wait till 1989 comes out, there is only 27 days left :DDD (double chins + excitement because why not) hahahaa. I also can’t wait till you go on tour next year I AM SOOO EXCITEEDDDDHDWDPWDH!! Omggg! I am going to be optimistic and say I will definitely meet you either this year or next year for sure! And I know when I do meet you I will be starstruck and have surely nothing to say but just know that I love you and you are my idol :). Stay beautiful and don’t listen to the haters :). I want to wish you the best of luck with the rest of your career… you deserve the best! I love you!!! 

Your biggest fan,  Garet :) 

p.s. Yes I am a girl with the name Garet, thought I should clarify that haha :) 

My letter to Taylor

Dear Taylor,

Where do I even start? I guess I’ll go through the chronology of my growing love for you. 

I was introduced to Teardrops on My Guitar in 7th grade, when a friend of mine asked if I had listened to it and I said I hadn’t heard of you before. She gave me one of her earbuds then and I took a listen and immediately loved it. But since I was a naive little seventh grader I didn’t take the time to really “research” about you. Still, I kept you in mind. 

I listened to Love Story the day you released and that song was what really got me into your music. I literally got the chills when I heard it the first time, it was that good. It was so creative and so well-written and fairy-tale like, I played it on repeat for at least two weeks. I knew then that I had to get the Fearless album when it was released. Needless to say, I got it off iTunes as soon as it was out. 

I was so so impressed with the album. All the songs were incredibly relatable, and it just so happened that I was having a rough patch at the time. I know everyone says that Taylor Swift songs get them through a lot of hardships but that’s what’s so wonderful about you, Taylor. Your words are so comforting. I felt like you were my friend and that you understood what I was going through, even though you didn’t know who I was. Watching the White Horse music video made me cry, because seeing you cry really tugged at my heartstrings and made me feel like you knew what it was like to feel that way. That was around the time when I had an iPod nano, so obviously I would play your album every morning on the bus to school and every afternoon on the way home. It was something that I looked forward to. I found solace in your songwriting. 

Speak Now amazed me even more, and this was when I read enough about you to know you very well (I know that sounds strange, but I’m sure other fans can relate to that). I thought the songs on the album were all fantastic and the lyrics were just so raw and full of emotion. I don’t even have a specific favorite, though the ones that stood out to me the most were: Dear John, Haunted, Story of Us, and Better than Revenge. Did I mention that by this point I had somehow, unintentionally memorized every single line to all your songs? I would sing them whenever I was home alone, and although I am not good at singing, when I put expression into singing your songs I found it rather stress-relieving. 

When your Red tour dates were announced, I saw that one of the locations was very close to my top-choice college. This was during my senior year when I was filling out college apps. Of course, I was already in love with the school but when I saw that you were going to perform in close vicinity of it, I couldn’t help but think, this has to be a sign. Then I’d laugh to myself because I was being silly. Oh, random comment: I went to Disney in Orlando, Florida with my orchestra in the spring and you were performing there for Red! I found out that you went to Animal Kingdom just HOURS after my orchestra left! 

Anyway, after finding out that I was accepted into my dream school, my boyfriend surprised me on my birthday with two tickets to your Red tour and it was honestly the most thoughtful present I had ever received, especially since he knew that I was such a huge fan and that I otherwise would probably not get a chance to attend your concert. He gave me that opportunity and I am forever thankful of that. Going to your tour was the most magical night of my life. I daydreamed about it months before it after I got the tickets, and suffered from concert withdrawal immediately after it ended. My boyfriend even took the time out of his night to come with me. 

Speaking of my college, I befriended someone there in the first couple of weeks who shared my love for you. We have been friends ever since and he is who I go to to freak out about big news about you. We made a Twitter account to spread our love and we’re going to host a 1989 album launch party when it’s released! 

So yeah, I had an old Tumblr account where I would reblog photography stuff but then I started to post more and more stuff about you and thought, why not just create a fan blog where I can post as much about Taylor as I want and be a part of the Swifties community? I made this account yesterday, actually, and have been having a great time following other fellow Swifties. I am so glad I made that decision.

Before I write a novel, I’ll conclude with this: Taylor, you are so incredible, talented, beautiful, and adorable and I am so happy that I got the chance to listen to your music and be your fan. I will always support you, no matter what. After attending the Red tour, I was able to experience that bond you have fans. Even though there were thousands of people in the room, I felt as if you were talking to me directly. It was like you were my best friend. I hope that one day I can meet you and thank you in person how much you have impacted my life.

Love,

Amy (@faded-pictureofabeautifulnight)
