Now We Have Bad Blood for Centuries

If you haven't figured it out yet, I really, really, REALLY like Taylor Swift. Also, I am kind of obsessed with Fall Out Boy. Not once did I think, "Would it sound good if they just happened to be mashed together?" because I thought that their styles wouldn't mesh well. Taylor is poppy and upbeat, while Fall Out Boy is a little more rock and roll. Those won't blend well. Wrong.

Enter Bad Blood vs. Centuries. How did I survive without this? That's right, I didn't. I have died and gone to music heaven. And the genius who came up with this? Genius. The songs fit so perfectly it's like they were made for each other. I'm obsessed with Taylor mashups at the moment and this one is by far my favorite. Now, someone needs to put Centuries to the tune of Bad Blood and see how it fits. I bet you it's amazing. I'll go as far to say I'll bet you five bucks it's amazing.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

I probably should have seen this coming. I mean, Victoria Secret Fashion Show anyone?

Best performance EVER!!!!!!!! They need to team up more often. 

Also, this is kind of adorable. :)

Now the only thing that would make this better is if Taylor performed the Bad Blood mashup with Fall Out Boy at my graduation party. Too much? Hey, a girl can dream.

I Think Fearless is Having Fears but Jumping Anyway

I don't know how they did this, but someone was a genius and made moving polaroids.

Hello everyone!

I've been having a throwback obsession with Taylor at the moment. For some reason, I can't stop listening to "Sad Beautiful Tragic" from her Red album. It's amazing and the lyrics are so pretty.

Now I've probably said this before, but I don't care if you don't like Taylor's music. That's completely fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on music. Like, I don't care for Austin Mahone. I can't even tell you what I don't like about him. I just don't particularly care for him. 

However, the instant you complain about how Taylor is a crazy girlfriend who dates too many guys, that's where I draw the line. You're getting into very dangerous waters there. I would advise you to swim as quickly as possible away from there. Because that would be one argument you would lose. Guaranteed.

There was one time in school where one boy said something about Taylor's many boyfriends. Let's just say it didn't go down too well for him.

Pretty Much.

Now, I'm not a huge fan of Miley either. She's okay. But this quote kind of slays the haters. 

Hehe. This is completely random I know. But it came up when I search for Taylor Swift for some reason and I thought it was funny. Hehe.

If you get that, you are my new best friend.

Wait. What was this post about again? Ummmmmmmmmm............................ I guess you can say I am a very random human being. Tee Hee.

Basically I just searched a bunch of random stuff on the internet because I was bored and put them into a post. Hee hee

Sorry for being so random today. I felt like it.

Band-Aids Don't Fix Bullet Holes. Now That's Just Common Sense

I have just been slayed.

Yesterday, at the Billboard awards, Taylor Swift released her latest music video for "Bad Blood" and it is amazing. Like better than words. Like I am freaking out. As soon as I saw it, I died. I fell on the floor and died. Really this is the ghost of Jennifer writing this.

Anyway, Taylor really pulled out all the stops for this video. Everyone and their mother was in it (Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Gigi Hadid, Kendrick Lamar, and Cara Delvingne, just to name a few). There's even an ode to her cats in the video! The actresses that play Olivia Benson in Law and Order and Meredith Grey in Grey's Anatomy starred in the video as well. Since Taylor named her cats off of those two characters it seems fitting that they are a part of Taylor's army.

The video was action-packed and featured Taylor Swift kicking major butt. In the beginning of the video, Arsyn (Selena Gomez) and Catastrophe (Taylor)  are working together and kicking butt. Then, Arsyn betrays Catastrophe by pushing her out a window. Ouch.

What does Catastrophe do, you might ask? Build an elite team of the best warriors around to get revenge on Arson. Because, as you may or may not know, there is nothing Taylor does better than revenge.  (That was a reference for the Swifties out there).

Did Catastrophe get her revenge? Who knows. The video ends with Cat's fierce army walking to face off Arsyn and her army. There are explosions in the background because every music video needs explosions. Duh!

No but seriously. I had to watch it like ten times to take in everything. Even now I'm still dying about how amazing it was. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Just prepare for Taylor to slay you so hard you're not going to be able to move. You'll just lie there wondering how you ever lived without it.

While you're at it, buy the song, which features Kendrick Lamar. And if you haven't buy 1989. It will change your life for the better.

If all of a sudden you become obsessed with her, understand that you're not alone. Many people have fallen prey to Taylor's amazing talent and generosity. Good thing there's Swiftamine for that.

Some Upsetting News

Hello guys!

I know my last post was about Taylor Swift, and I don't necessarily like to post two posts in a row on the same topic. But I have to make an exception this time.

This morning, Taylor, on her Tumblr, posted an update about her mom. Taylor Swift wanted her mom to go to the doctors near Christmastime just to make sure that everything was alright and she was healthy. There were no red flags, but some tests were done just to be safe. The results came back, and were very upsetting.

Taylor's mom, Andrea, has been diagnosed with cancer. Taylor hasn't revealed what kind of cancer or Andrea's treatment plan in the interest of privacy, which I think she deserves. From what Taylor revealed, I am hoping the doctor caught the cancer early, so it can be treated.

Andrea wanted Taylor to tell her fans about her cancer because Andrea wants fans to have their parents got to the doctor. She wants Taylor's fans to bug their parents to get checked regularly for cancer because catching cancer early means a greater chance of curing it and an easier battle.

Taylor, I just want to let you know your fans are here for you. Andrea is going to be in millions of fans' hopes and prayers. And to all of you out there, push your parents to go to the doctor frequently.

P.S. I make sure my mom and dad go to the doctor frequently. It's really calming knowing that your parents are healthy.

Reasons Why I Love Taylor Swift

Good evening kind people of the internet!

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past decade (which is totally fine, I happen to love rocks), you probably know who Taylor Swift is. If you don't, that's fine too! Because I'm about to educate you on the genius that is Taylor Swift, and why I happen to love her so much.

1: Her Music

First of all, there is something to be said about an artist who actually writes their own music. There is also something to be said about someone who pours their entire being into their songs. Taylor Swift actually writes her songs about her own experiences and relationships-- which means her songs are full of emotion and are genuine. Taylor's music tells a story, almost like a poem. The emotion and feelings that Taylor pours into her music really shows through the lyrics, making the songs memorable and inspirational.

And for all of you that are angry that all she does is bash her ex boyfriends and that she should grow up, I would like to argue with you. (Fyi, you're about to lose.) First of all, most of her songs are either about positive relationships, or not about a relationship at all. Even the ones that are slightly negative don't always bash the actual boyfriend. Sometimes her songs are just about how it wasn't working out. Let's take her latest album, 1989, for example.

1. WELCOME TO NEW YORK- Not about a relationship at all.
2. BLANK SPACE- This one talks about a dysfunctional relationship, but it makes fun of Taylor more than it bashes an ex.
3. STYLE- More about a dysfunctional relationship, not about how she hates an ex.
4. OUT OF THE WOODS- Once again, a dysfunctional relationship. This one is positive and Taylor wants this relationship to last.
5. ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS STAY- This one is probably the one where she "bashes" the boyfriend the most. However, she's not saying she hates him. Taylor is just saying that it's too late for him to win her over.
6. SHAKE IT OFF- Not really about a relationship either. The one mention of an ex-man isn't bashing him. All Taylor is saying is that she is shaking that relationship off and getting over him and the haters.
7. I WISH YOU WOULD- Taylor wants her ex to come back. Not bashing him at all.
8. BAD BLOOD- It sounds like she is bashing a boyfriend, but she has confirmed that it's not about an ex at all. It's about a fellow female singer, rumored to be Katy Perry. So, not about a boyfriend.
9. WILDEST DREAMS- Taylor knows this relationship isn't going to last, but she wants him to remember her and look back on the relationship fondly. She isn't basing him at all.
10. HOW YOU GET THE GIRL- Taylor sings about how to win someone back. No meanness in this song either.
11. THIS LOVE- More about a dysfunctional relationship where the love keeps coming back to her. 
12. I KNOW PLACES- Song about how the reporters keep stalking Taylor and ruining her relationships and how Taylor hopes to hide from them.
13. CLEAN- At the end of the relationship, Taylor just has to let him go. Not really bashing him, but just saying it's over, and she has to let him go.
14. WONDERLAND- Dysfunctional relationship. Not bashing at all.
15. YOU ARE IN LOVE- Song about another couple finding out they love each other. No boyfriend-hating here.
16. NEW ROMANTICS- This one I think is about young people who fall in and out of love very quickly. Taylor just sings about how dysfunctional the relationships are. Not mean at all. 

Oh, are you telling me that there isn't one song that is a definite "let's hate on my boyfriend" in her new album? Huh. 

And if you are going to bring up about her previous albums, the past is in the past. (But if you were, you'd see there are also positive songs on her previous albums too)

Secondly, it's not like writing songs about previous relationships is exclusive to Taylor! Other artists, (Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Carrie Underwood, Beyonce, P!nk, just to name a few) have written their fair share of boyfriend-bashing music too. No one's hating on them, now are they? Also, would you rather Taylor egg her ex's cars and beat their cars up with golf clubs? No? Then stop the hate. Please.

Do you honestly want this to actually happen?

And if you complain that she has had too many boyfriends, she's 25! Give her a break! She's allowed to live!

2: Her Voice

If you don't think Taylor has an amazing voice, watch this video. Then maybe you will understand.

3: Her Generosity

Taylor has done some amazing things for her fans. First, there was Swiftmas, where Taylor would send personalized Christmas gifts to her fans. Not like merchandise or anything, but actual presents.

Also, she visits fans in the hospital and sings to them. And she hunts down fans to meet them. And she gives the best advice to Swifties. Therefore she is amazing. 

4: Her Dancing

Taylor Swift is known for her bad dancing. She will actually be the first one to tell you she can't dance. 

The reason why I love it so much is because she's not afraid to let herself loose and dance. She's not afraid to be herself, and she doesn't care what other people think.

Taylor. Please never stop being you.

5: She Reminds Me of My Uncle

I know that sounds really strange, but just hear me out for one second. When I was young, about 7 or 8, I had wild blonde curly hair that was similar to Taylor's when she was younger.

Kind of like that, but a lot less perfect, and a little more brown.

My uncle always used to compare my hair to Taylor's, saying that all I needed was a guitar and I could be Taylor Swift for Halloween. (I'd also need some insanely amazing song writing skills, but close enough). Every single time I saw him, he would say that I looked like her.

He passed away from cancer when I was about 12. Now, even though Taylor cut her hair short, she reminds me of him. 

Gosh, I'm getting really teary-eyed just writing this. Side effect of being overly emotional. And I really miss him. 

Even if you didn't have an uncle that used to call you Taylor Swift, there are certainly plenty of reasons to love her. And if you don't like her, that's fine too. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But please, don't hate on her or insult her. Respect her just like you would want your idol to be respected. 

On a more happy note, check out this amazing mash-up of Shake it Off by Taylor Swift and All About that Bass. Perfection. (I also really like Meghan Trainor)

Isn't that cool!
