As the world’s spotlight shines on Taylor Swift’s recent pop album 1989‚ people tend to bypass the record that helped paved her success. Swift’s 2012 album Red set the stage for her transition into a pop artist. The album smashed chart records‚ earning Taylor her third No.1 album on Billboard’s Top 200. With her first self-titled debut and her 2008 album Fearless‚ she became known for her confessional songwriting skills. Then came Speak Now‚ combinations of the two previous albums with ballads of

A person I admire most Without our realization‚ we all have a tendency to judge somebody just by their appearance. I once shared my point of view with them until I “met” Susan Boyle in 2009. Ever since‚ I have been a huge fan of hers. Her story began from the first moment she stepped onto the stage of the famous show “Britain’s got talent”. She proclaimed her dream of being a professional singer. The judges rolled their eyes and the audience pulled incredulous faces: she was too

Here’s something that has been bugging me a bit recently‚ the idea that Taylor Swift is anti-feminist or that her songs present femininity in a negative light and she’s doing more harm than good. It’s usually what you hear before they say that she doesn’t write her own music (first problem with that‚ she does actually write her own songs‚ secondly a lot of others don’t) and that she dates a lot of guys (because attempts at actual relationships are somehow worse than musicians that have gone on

Nick Hartung ENGL 102 Mr. Groneman 7 October 2013 When I think about credibility I think about honesty‚ trust‚ and knowledge. Does this also apply to musical artists? They must be true to what they write about. Could this person be a friend of mine? I would hope that they would be a caring and an honest friend. I like a wide variety of main stream music being released today‚ but still‚ there are only a few artists that I will follow no matter what they put out‚ simply because their music reaches

I take pride in saying I admire my mother the most in my family. My Mother. She is like The Sun in the Solar system and all the rest of the family are like planets revolving around the Sun. She is very affectionate‚ kind‚ caring‚ loving‚ compassionate‚ and ready to solve our problems. She has been acting like a buffer between‚ my father who was a strict disciplinarian and the rest of the family‚ grandparents and the grandchildren‚ elders in the family and newcomers to the family. She is up early

Ask any pre-pubescent child who Taylor Swift is and undoubtedly they will give you a lengthy explanation of the country sweetheart and her list of infamous exes. It’s no question to anyone who’s heard her aw-shucks-country kind of sound on the radio what the twenty year-old likes to sing about: Boys‚ boys‚ and boys. Your best friend doesn’t love you? You’re just a plain old Jane? There’s probably a Taylor Swift song for that. “Speak Now” the country singer tells her fans‚ a mob of young girls who’d

The Taylor Swift / Apple Music ad campaign‚ first released on April 1st‚ consists of various commercials featuring the award-winning singer. The first ad features Swift preparing for a jog on her treadmill. She puts on headphones and uses her phone to turn on the song “Jumpman” by Drake and Future. The rap song begins to play as she starts her run‚ and Swift begins to rap the song enthusiastically. With her arms flailing‚ she raps her way through half of the first verse. In mid-stride‚ she falls

I watched Taylor Swift acoustic performances from the RED album. The first song presented in the performance was “We are never ever getting back together”. This popular song features a variety of musical techniques. During the song Taylor Swift begins playing the song at a consistent speed. Later in the song at 2:04 she changes her to a faster tempo and at 2:29 returns to her original tempo. The faster tempo makes the song feel climatic‚ I feel that she is able to highlight certain lyrics or parts
