I've had a new love/obsession for a while and earlier I realised I had not posted about it here. So I'm doing that now, whether anyone wants to know about it or not. :P

I absolutely adore Taylor Swift to pieces. I got her
Fearless album for my birthday in September and I've been utterly hooked ever since. With most albums there's at least one or two songs that I'm not as keen on as the others and I'll usually skip them, but that's not the case with this album, I love every song equally and can listen to it straight through at least twice without getting bored. And every time I listen I take something new from the album, relate to different parts of the lyrics than I did on previous occasions. I usually have a new favourite song after every listen as well. I'll get around to her self-titled debut album at some point, but right now I'm loving this one too much to play anything different. My favourite album of the year without a doubt.
And it's not just the music, I love
her crazy amounts too. For a start she comes across as incredibly humble for a girl of only just approaching 20 who has achieved what she has, the most notable being the youngest ever winner of the CMA Entertainer Of The Year title. She's bright and bubbly and happy and so incredibly cute, her smile makes me smile too. She comes across as a very ordinary and down to earth girl who just happens to successful in a career doing what she loves, she doesn't consider herself any different from anyone else at all. And she really, truly appreciates all of her fans and how much they love her and gives as much love back to them as possible. Like last week she played shows in Manchester and London, and at one point she left the main stage and walked to areas nearer the back of the arenas and sang three songs from there, so the people at the back got to experience the same as those at the front. And as she was walking through the audience she would hug random people as she passed them, I cannot explain how sweet and amazing I find that.
I've already managed to find a favourite quote from her too:
"Fans are my favorite thing in the world. I've never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line's always been really blurred for me. I'll hang out with them after the show. I'll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I'll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes. I don't care. I'm just a senior in high school who has a better job. Who am I to think I'm better than talking to people?"♥ ♥ ♥
SO MUCH LOVE, SERIOUSLY. And like Lisa E she reads about herself online and was the unpopular girl who got picked on at school. She has Twitter and her tweets are absolutely adorable. She's been writing her own songs since she was 12 years old. The first thing she did when she turned 18 was register online to vote while still wearing her pajamas. Her favourite food is cheesecake and her favourite subject to write about is love. These are just some of the facts I've learned about her which I find beyond adorable, there are many more. And randomly, her song
The Way I Loved You is THE song that reminds me of the current Lucas/Cuddy/House situation on
House.
So yeah, love this girl very much. ♥
