A Letter to the Taylor Swift Hater

Dear Taylor Swift hater,

You've made your voice known. I know how you feel about Taylor Swift. In fact, the world knows. You shout it from the mountains how much you can't stand her. You scream it just so everyone knows that you don't think she speaks up about anything. We all hear you. Even in the silence, we know that you're lurking and waiting to say something else about another human being.

You call her vile names. You say things that are so awful that I wonder if you'd ever have the courage to say it to her face. Would you ever say it to her face? I won't repeat the words you say on your Facebook or your Twitter. Their too horrid and I'd rather not say them. All I know is that you believe that you are so right in hating her. You believe that you are standing up for feminism or whatever else for calling her awful things or claiming that the trial she is currently in is the result of her being a horrible person. You claim these things. The worst part about it is that you claim these things about another human being. Do you even bother to put yourself in their shoes? Do you ever wonder to yourself, "what if it were me? Would I want people to say these things about me?"

You bash her for writing what's on her heart. You hate her for being vulnerable in her lyrics and for being an honest songwriter. But here you are listening to Ed Sheeran or Selena Gomez who do the exact same thing Taylor is doing. But you don't hate them. Don't you see the double standard?

Also, can you please explain to me how you could hate someone so much? All she's ever done was be honest with her voice and write really great songs. She's really good at it and pretty successful, to say the least. So, enlighten everyone who is wondering this: what is it about Taylor Swift that inspires grown adults to sit down at a computer and writing scathing comments that I'd rather not repeat?


How dare Taylor write a song about a breakup. How dare she speak up about sexual assault. How dare she for being a human being. I mean, really? That's essentially what you're saying when you rip her apart for every little thing she does.

What did a 27-year old songwriter ever do to deserve being called such a vile names? What did she ever do to anyone who hates her so much? She's a human being who literally can't do anything right in your eyes.

But in fact, Taylor does SPEAK up and she has a heart. She's a human being. Can I say that enough? She's a person who loves her fans to the point where she has invited them into her home, has donated to countless organizations and charities, and has spoken up about important things through her music and through being just the kind of person that she is.




While you are busy hating her, remember this:

Taylor is someone's daughter. She is someone's friend. She is someone's role model. She is someone's hero. She is a HUMAN BEING who is just living out her dream in a humble and graceful manner. She doesn't even write crude material or go out drinking at the clubs late at night. In fact, what she does is hang out with her friends, spend time with her cats and watch Law and Order. Does that sound like a vile human to you?




So hater, next time you think about hating on Taylor, think about these things: What if she were your child? What if it were you? Would you be able to take the heat? Would you want to be called such awful things day in and day out? Do you tolerate such bullying?


Next time you think about hating on Taylor for a stupid reason, don't do it. Push your chair away from your computer and go hug those that you love and be grateful for the life you have. Push away the hate you have in your heart and realize that the words you say really can hurt someone.

But if you choose not to, well, I have a message for you:


Sincerely,

a Taylor Swift supporter

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
