If you are indeed a true Taylor Swift fan – and have been since day one – you understand just how important this girl is. You’ve been with her since her curly hair, country-singin’ days, and you’re still with her during her bleach blonde, pop genre days. She’s come a long way since 2006 when she released her first single, “Tim McGraw,” and just like fine wine, she just seems to keep getting better with time.
1. You are verynostalgic when it comes to kinky curly, silvery sparkly eye shadowed Taylor Swift.
2. It’s safe to say that you aren’t exactly the biggestKanye West fan. You dismiss everything that is Kanye-related and have had more than one quarrel with a Kanye West fan about who of the two is the better artist. You thought you could forgive him after the 2015 VMA’s when he and Taylor seemed chummy with each other, but after hearing his rude gab at her in “Famous,” you quickly reevaluated.
3. You are 100 percent approving of Tayvin. Calvin Harris seems like a nice, genuine guy who can finally be the man that Taylor Swift deserves in her life. Not to mention they’re insanely hot together??
4. You love seeing pictures of Meredith and Olivia on Taylor’s Instagram page. Even if you aren’t a cat person, you are a Meredith and Olivia person.
5. You know every lyric of every song Taylor Swift has written. “Back to December”? Yep. “New Romantics”? You betcha. The super sweet song, “Mary’s Song (Oh My My)” that you swore was written about you and your high school sweetheart? Duh.
6. You know that she can’t dance very well. But everyone has their weaknesses, and you still accept her for all her quirky, lanky arm jabs in the air.
7. You’ve kept track of all of Taylor’s romantic relationships, from Taylor Lautner to Harry Styles.
8. And you’re still kinda salty about Joe Jonas breaking up with her over a 27-second phone call.
9. “Fearless” used to be your absolute jam. Chances are, you used to twirl around in your bedroom after going on a date and sing this song to yourself, dreaming of dancing in a storm in your best dress with your SO.
10. You’re so over people saying that all she sings about is her ex-boyfriends. So what if she sings from her previous experiences with relationships? That’s part of what makes her songs so relatable. You know that she also has songs about other meaningful aspects of life, such as one song about a little boy named Ronan who died from cancer, a song dedicated to the best days with her mother, and so on.
11. You thought that you were unworthy of 1989 Taylor Swift, but this new Spring 2016 grunge-inspired Taylor Swift is proving to be most important.
12. Legs. Just, legs.
13. She has inspired you to wear red lipstick for events that aren’t even that important. It’s not unusual for you to wear red lipstick to your doctor’s appointments or grocery shopping, and you feel like you have the upmost confidence while you’re wearing it.
14. You could hardly contain your excitement for the release of 1989 because you couldn’t wait to hear the new pop genre Taylor Swift. And as usual, she did not disappoint.
15. Just like when you were growing up, your parents taught you their favorite songs from back in their day, you can’t wait to teach your future children all of Taylor Swift's songs.
16. Even though some people are blind to the fact that Taylor Swift is an undying icon in the making, you are very aware of her brilliance and consider yourself so blessed to be able to grow up during her time of fame.
