19 Best Taylor Swift Lyrics of All Time

Whether you love her or hate her, Taylor Swift is undeniably one of the most powerful singers in the music industry. Personally, I believe that she is also one of the best creative writers. Although it was a difficult task to only pick out 19 beautifully written lyrics, I believe that these are the ones that truly resonate with listeners all over the world.

1. "And you call me up again just to break me like a promise / So casually cruel in the name of being honest" - "All Too Well"

2. "Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it / I'd like to be my old self again / But I'm still trying to find it" - "All Too Well"

3. "You were all I wanted / But not like this" -"All You Had To Do Was Stay"

4. "So you were never a saint / And I love the shades of wrong" - "State of Grace"

5. "I'd be smart to walk away /
But you're quicksand" - "Treacherous"

6. "Nothing safe is worth the drive" -"Treacherous"

7. "Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress / We had this big wide city all to ourselves / We blocked the noise with the sound of ‘I need you’ / And for the first time I had something to lose" - "Holy Ground"

8. "The delicate beginning rush /
The feeling you can know so much / Without knowing anything at all" - "Come Back Be Here"

9."Sometimes I wonder how you think about it now / And I see your face in every crowd" -"Holy Ground"

10. "All my walls stood tall painted blue / And I'll take them down / Take them down / And open up the door for you" - "Everything Has Changed"

11. "Just keep on keeping your eyes on me / It's just wrong enough to make it feel right" -"Sparks Fly"

12. "In my dreams you're touching my face / And asking me if I wanna try again with you / And I almost do" - "I Almost Do"

13. "We need love but all we want is danger" -"New Romantics"

14. "We were built to fall apart, then fall back together" - "Out of the Woods"

15. "I've found time can heal most anything" -"Fifteen"

16. "But I took your matches before fire could catch me / So don't look now / I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town" - "Dear John"

17. "On a Wednesday in a cafe / I watched it begin again" - "Begin Again"

18. "And you were wild and crazy / Just so frustrating intoxicating
complicated / Got away by some mistake / And now I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain" - "The Way I Loved You"

19. "In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation / We both wake in lonely beds in different cities / And time, is taking its sweet time erasing you" - "Sad, Beautiful, Tragic"

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
