22 Times Taylor Swift Had It All Right

Among all the hate, Swift has not stopped staying positive, and to celebrate 10 years of this music icon, I would like to dedicate this article to my favorite memories of her

22 Times Taylor Swift Had It All Right
CHRISTOPHER POLK

I realize that Taylor Swift has been getting a bad reputation lately and that most of her fan base is fading because of her interactions with Kanye and recent split with not only Calvin Harris, but also Tom Hiddleston; however, I am not going to talk about that. I want to take time to appreciate things Swift has said in interviews, the way she acts, and the poetic justice Taylor has written into her songs that most people have overlooked or forgot about.

1. The song "Ronan"

I'm going to start with her most underrated and most emotional song ever. "Ronan" is about a young 4-year-old who passed away from cancer. Swift followed his mother's blog and read about him almost every night. After he passed, she took his mom's words and made them into one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs written.

2. "I Almost Do"

Because who can't relate to just wanting to pick up their phone and call their ex and tell them what they should have done differently? My favorite lyric in this is "I can't say 'hello' to you, and risk another goodbye."

3. Swift "dancing"

She takes her crap for her moves at the award shows, but you have to admit that she has no fear and she truly loves dancing like no one is watching.

4. Swift DANCING

However, if you have ever been to a Taylor performance, she can dance like crazy! Highly recommend watching her during "I Knew You Were Trouble" on her Red Tour!

5. Thug Story

Most might not remember this iconic rap, but T Swift and T-Pain did collaborate, and they made one of my favorite YouTube videos of all time.

6. Hair

Need I say more?

7. IKYWT

By far one her best songs, and something you have to watch live, Red or 1989 Tour. The song is chock-full of poetic lines, such as "Pretends he doesn't know/ that he's the reason why/ you're drowning," or "The blame is on me." Many ask "why would you date someone if you knew they would be trouble?" Swift answers this in the voice over at the beginning of the music video, which is also a must-watch.

8. The Squad

Admit it, even if you despise Taylor, you have been envious of her 4th of July parties, her amazing Red Carpet friends photos, or the stars that get on stage with her at her concerts.

9. Hair

So much flipping.

10. Felicia

When "Valentine's Day" was released and the world got introduced to Felicia, Swift's hilarious character.

11. Her Friendship with Ed Sheeran

In my personal opinion, the only thing cooler than being friends with Taylor? Being friends with Ed!

12. Production value

Going to a Taylor Swift concert is like going to an indoor fireworks show, complete with smoke and special effects. New renditions of old songs. Special guests. Sometimes, if you're lucky, there is even rain on stage. There isn't a bad seat in the house.

13. Hair

I feel as though I've mentioned this?

14. CATS

I mean, how could you not love Dr. Meredith Grey Swift or Detective Olivia Benson Swift?

15. Fifteen

This song carried so many lessons that helped young girls, like me, through high school. Lessons about love, friendship, and how to survive the mean girls. This is something every freshman should listen to before the first day.

16. Last Kiss

By far one of the most soul-crushing, tragically honest, break up songs ever. If you are going through a break up, odds are you will cry while listening to this. But it's such a beautifully well written song that it won't matter. The best part is that it is on "Speak Now," an album she wrote all by herself.

17. Hair!

Fabulous flip while playing piano!

18. Performing in the rain

When she had the words to "Should've Said No" carved into the rain, my middle school self fell in love with this curly haired country singer, and I still get chills from it.

19. On-stage costume changes

"You Belong With Me," "Should've Said No," "IKYWT," "Blank Space" and many more, she leaves us speechless!

20. Her excitement at award shows

I'm pretty sure she gets more excited than some of the people that actually win. Favorite moment? "This is the highlight of my senior year!" -Swift.

21. HAIR!

I mean, come on!

22. Our anthem

As every Swifty knows, "Long Live" was written for us. To us, and by Taylor alone. It shows how much she loves our support, our dancing, our singing, and us. I still get chills every time I listen to it. And I'll take a moment to promise you this, that I'll stand by you forever.

Thank you for inspiring me, Taylor, thank you for your music. Thank you for your love. I hope I can tell you all this in person, as I pet your cats and bake cookies with you. And I cannot wait until Taylor Swift 6!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
