I adore Taylor because of her music and lyrics, and many of her lyrics really speak to me on a personal level. But she also creates the impression that she is someone you just can't be like while penning songs that millions of people can connect to. She's kind of like an icon. You wanna be her but you also are her. She puts into words what we experience every day yet struggle to express.

She's a remarkable, joyous rarity, in my opinion, who manages to mix making her own music with still having a captivating stage persona. But it was the songwriting that made me fall in love with her music. Each line serves a purpose, and she makes numerous subtle references to add in that extra touch of character. It is lovely and profound. Her songs almost always tell a story. Taylor Swift has a penchant for wanting to tell stories, generally the tragic ones. And I think that's something people fail to notice. She brings out your own emotions in words you never knew existed. I can never talk enough about Taylor Swift, the artist, the poet and the storyteller.
