“Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!” I wonder how it must feel to hear a sold-out stadium scream your name. I have always wanted to be a singer, so if I could change places with anyone it would be Taylor Swift. She is living my dream life because every day she gets to share the one thing she love with people all around the world and help benefit their life with her music. I would also want to have an amazing voice like hers and her writing skills. She also has other benefits like travelling the world and experiencing other cultures, yet she doesn’t forget who she was before the fame or where she came from.

What do you want to be when you grow up? I have been asked this question so many times and the only thing I can think of is a famous singer. 6 Years ago Taylor replied the same way to that question. When Taylor had a dream, she did everything to make sure it came true so that now people all around the world are affected by her music. I would love to go to other countries and share my music with them and know that my songs are an inspiration to teens and young adults. Her song has influenced me and my friends so much it is life changing. If I became a famous singer I wouldn’t care about how much I was paid or how many Grammies I have, but if I was changing people’s lives for the better.

Having a bad day? There is a Taylor Swift song for that! Taylor was also born with an amazing talent for writing lyrics. She is able to think of a picture or a scene in her head and turn it into a song on paper. I have always tried to write songs, but I don’t have the talent she does. Her voice is also amazing! She has a great crossover voice between country and pop. She has been considered a genius by some for her talent in writing. Another thing I admire is that she makes her songs personal and relatable. Tons of girls are going through the same things she has and they have a song about it to comfort them.

When producing her album. Taylor insisted “Our Song” to be included in it while the producers thought different, when asked why, Taylor stated,” It has a certain magic in it, like its bouncing.” Her new song topped all the charts, going platinum in Canada and triple platinum in the US, the song was an unpredicted hit. You can say that the song is catchy, up lifting, or just one of those songs you can’t resist, and that was the reason for its success. But I feel like it’s a different reason, I think the song blew up because it had a deeper meaning then just a catchy beat, People can relate and that’s the reason why I think it topped the charts.

Young women, such as teenagers, view these film clips and are determined to follow in the artist footsteps. The young American country singer Taylor Swift, has a different outlook on life.
