As Taylor Swift finishes her 1989 World Tour, (with a vacation for the 125 people in her band and crew that helped her throughout the year), and another wildly successful year comes to a close, (Swift broke the record for the number of weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100, won 8 awards at the Billboard Music Awards, and her tour attendance is close to two million fans), it's important to remember why we all fell in love with her in the first place. Taylor Swift has lyrically rocked our worlds. She's taken the hearts of millions every since her first single released, given us all hopes and dreams and allowed us to connect with her on such a such a personal level. She has helped us live in fairytales and dream of the perfect romance, talked us through heartbreaks and let downs, and inspired us to be the best versions of ourselves.
