Darlin' Don't Ever Grow Up

So let us assume that you have head Taylor Swift's "Never Grow Up"
And you already know that you know that I love it, because it is Taylor Swift and I love TS.
BUT.
I.
LOVE.
THIS.
SONG.

It makes me think about how everyone was when we were in first grade and how different it is now that we're in eleventh.
There wasn't competitiveness in school.
Everyone was, for the most part, nice to each other.
Lizzie McGuire was the shiz.
Hannah Montana didn't exist yet.
When we painted or colored for "activity time" and that didn't mean brainstorm about the piece of lit that the class is currently reading.
When we weren't even thinking/STRESSING about college, and where we wanted to go vs. where we could actually get in.

I just don't want to grow up.

The Story of Us.

I’m dieing to know if it’s killing you like it’s killing me.




Story of Us!



I love it!!

OHMYGAWD!!

Have you ever heard something more amazing! I think not!



Okay first you have an unexpected beat/melody and everything about the music! Right, I know Taylor isn’t 100 % couuuuuntry. But this song is more than pop/country. I just don’t know how to explain it, but I love.



“Next chapter.”



I think she’s the bravest artist in pop culture because of she lets everything out in her music.

We are listening to her diary people!

What do most-all- girls do when someone finds their diary?

They:

-Deny it’s their’s so you won’t judge them by what it contains

-Cry

-Whine for you to give it back

-Freak. Out.



Yes, that’s how all girls who keep a diary react..

Then you have Taylor Swift.



She might not EXACTLY say in the all her songs (but she does in some ex: Teardrops on My Guitar, Hey Stephan, Dear John ß-CanNOT wait to hear this!) But we pretty much get all of them, because of the pictures and stories we hear/see on websites and on Access Hollywood.

So we can safely say that this song is about Joe.

Yes. Joe.

You know? The one that broke up with her over a 27 second phone call.

Yeah, that one.



“I’ve never heard a silence so loud.”



Love et.

Why you gotta be so Mean?

Why you gotta be so Mean?




I don’t understand why no one has ever done what Taylor does.

I mean, how hard is it to be honest and say what you’re feeling to song lyrics?



Okay, so obviously that’s every song she’s ever written, BUT!



Have you heard “Mean“?

If not, play the video below to fill your computer/laptop’s speakers with lyrics that will make you say “OH SNAP!”

Well, that’s just a personal experience, but whatever.


 
Listen to the song and then!
Um, can you say “Go Taylor!!” ????

“Well you can take me down,

With just one single blow.

But you don’t know, what you don’t know,



Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city,

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.

Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?”

She told yall critics!



It makes me wonder if she wrote this before or after she became a huge success. I know it’s on her new album, but why would she suddenly throw this song out? It could be because this record happened over a course of two years.. I’ve decided on that.



“Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things,

Drunk and grumbling on about how I can’t sing.”

So basically the people who are ranking on her, are going to end up at a bar in the middle of no where, because their editor fired them for writing such horride things about the sweet Taylor Swift.



But all you are is mean,

All you are is mean.

And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life,

And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean.



LOVE!

Back to December.





I don’t even know where to begin..



Let me attempt this.



First, Taylor in Glamour (she looked ah-mazing) was really awesome because she opened up about what’s happened in the past two years and how she wrote all the songs through experiences in her own life. Also how she’s not looking for that typical all American boy, who’s hot and cool. But in personality and someone who loves what they do.



Ready?





On October 12, Tay released a new tune, “the breakup ballad” “Back to December, and, like me, Swifter’s everywhere immediately speculated that the song was about TL.

I’ve listened to this amazing song so many times, but the first time I heard it, I knew it was about Lautner. Here’s some back up info:

-“You've been good, busier then ever.”
Analysis: When you’re referred to constantly as the “Twilight Hottie” you have a pretty booked up schedule of meet-and-greets, auditions for might-be-blockbusters, movie premieres of you’re already own multimillion dollar Saga.

-“Your guard is up and I know why.”
Analysis: If you don’t know this then you know you’re aren’t at my level of dedication to Taylor Swift. SHE broke up with TAYLOR LAUTNER. The boy (almost) every teenage girl in the world loves to see with his shirt off, and would die to go out with. So basically I’m saying that his ego was hurt a lil bit.

-“Cause the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind. You gave me roses and I left them there to die.”
Analysis: He was into it more than she was.



-“So this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night”
Analysis: She is sorrrrrrrryyyy! LAUTNER! MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!
Taylor Swift writes songs about boys who SCREW HER OVER.
She is sorrrrrryy!!! She got freaked about how nice you were to her, she felt like it was too good to be true.

-“I go back to December all the time.”
Analysis: December is when they split. I can’t believe I just spelt that out for you.

-“Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.”
Analysis: My theory is, that when she began braking it off with Lautner, she used some line describing how she felt tied down, at risk, or overrun by all of his female fans. Then of course she realized she wanted to have him.

-“I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right. I go back to December all the time. These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving,
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side.”
Analysis: She regrets breaking it off, wishes she could have do over.

-“Realized that I loved you in the fall.
Then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind.
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye.”
Analysis: She got a little scared, because if you know her past, all the previous relationships seemed fine. But they weren’t. And she always was the one who got hurt.

Chorus repeated.

-“I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right..”
Analysis: Tan skin. Sweet smile. Taylor. Lautner.



-“And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry.”
Analysis: Okay, I have to give props to AP, because she made me see this one. Think about it, September. MTV Video Music Awards. THE infamous incident with he who shall not be named because he is a ridiculous greedy egoistic douche. And WHO was on the stage when this happened?
Taylor Lautner.
So he didn’t take care of her when she was on the stage, he did off the stage and that’s even sweeter.










-“Maybe this is wishful thinking, probably mindless dreaming. If we loved again I swear I'd love you right. I'd go back in time and change it but I can't, so if the chain is on your door, I understand.”
Analysis: Taylor really, really, really, really wants Taylor back.

Chorus
-“All the time”


Analysis: TL take TS back. Now.


Okay, let’s be unrealistic here and say that I and all the others who think it’s about TL are wrong; but in a the new issue of “Ladies Home Journal” Taylor admits that she might always have feelings for TL. When asked to name her current crush, "Taylor Lautner. It's always going to be Taylor." Is was the lovely girl said.

Other than talking about TL, TS talked about what she looks for in a guy.
"Someone who loves you for who you are. I like doing cute art projects with glitter, and there have been guys who've made me feel like that's weird," she explained. "But then there are guys who find it endearing."

THAT is the cutest thing. And I think all the girls in the world can relate to that. You don’t have to do “cute are projects with glitter” but whatever kind of activities you do like doing, having someone you know make you feel weird about it.. It sucks.
Taylor talked about “Speak Now” toooooo!! Calling it "diverse, detailed, relationship-y. I'm turning relationship into an adjective."
"My songs are like open letters. They say everything I wished I had said when certain people were standing right next to me. I imagine I'll be getting a few text messages from these people once the album comes out. I have an app on my iPhone that's a voice recorder. I'll be in the middle of a conversation, and I'll literally walk away to record a bridge, a pre-chorus or half of a hook, then go right back to the conversation like nothing happened."

Analysis: Taylor Swift is amazing.



When I got to this part, I thought I had misread something, but no. Taylor is being Taylor when she answers her dream collaboration would be with the one and only, Jay-Z "Our genres are completely different, but there could be something cool about that," she said. "I like to write about relationships. I like it when my friends come over and we crowd around the piano and sing Journey songs at the top of our lungs. ... And I like things that make me feel 7 again."

I love that she loves feeling like she’s 7 again. Because I so do that allllllll the time. And I love it.




















"Speak Now" drops October 25!!!



Ashley out!

Blahlalalalag.

Yes yes, I haven't been blogging and then I hit you with two very must-read Taylor Swift stories.
Well you can all blame this high school, and physics and a phsyco AP history teacher.
But I'm baaaaaaaaackk.
Since it is award show season and all:)
Oh and I have to post something about Fall Party 2010, because it was (and I am tooting my own horn when I say) AHHHMAZING.



Ashley out!

Speak Now 2.0

Speak Now 2.0




“I am not the kind of girl, who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion, but you are not the kind of boy who should be marrying the wrong girl.”
I called it.
Want proof, look at the date I posted the first Speak Now.
Taylor Swift has gone all out once again.

Having released the title track “Speak Now” T-Swizzle has gotten a lot of hype from this song, it hit numero uno on iTunes the day released, and as usual-

People are hating.

“I sneak in and see your friends and her snotty little family all dressed in pastel,
And she is yelling at a bridesmaide, somewhere back inside her room wearing a gown shaped like a pastry.
This is surly not what you thought it would be
I know lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say..”
Okaaaaaaaaaay.

Attention everyone who complains about how detailed and personal Taylor is.
Obviously, you have been an Anti-Swifter for a while, because she’s been out for a few years and ALL OF HER SONGS are about personal experiences, or based off them!

If you’re so against all this, then I recommend you don’t listen to the remainder of the album that drops October 25th, because Swift has said that it is an open diary and that’s about as personal as you can get.



P.S. If you dislike her writing and songs so much, why do you even bother listening to her music? Must like sooooooomething.

You are the best thing that's ever been Mine.

So Taylor Swift’s new single “Mine” from the album “Speak Now” was supposed to drop August 16th, but due to piracy, it dropped 12 days early.


Hey, I’m not complaining.

Mine and it’s video were the first tastes of “Speak Now” that we got, and I have to be honest when I say that, at first Ididn’treallyknowhowTaylor’sthirdalbumwouldgoconsideringallthesuccessFearlesshad.



Whew!



But after listening to Mine (43 times according to my iTunes play count) and watching the video, I was instantly assured that “Speak Now” is going to have as much, or even more success that “Fearless” had.


And I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am.
