I’ve been a Taylor Swift fan since I was literally 11 and now I’m 23. I have yet to meet her, and I freaking wish I could. I was an 11 year old crying to teardrops on my guitar because I had my first unrequited love, a 13 year old singing along to fearles dreaming of my first kiss, a 15 year old swaying to never grow up and wishing time would stand still, a 16 year old getting over her first breakup with all too well, an 18 year old jamming to style as she was in an on again/ off again relationship with someone who never made her feel like she was out of the woods. A 21 year old playing delicate over and over again as she entered a new relationship with someone she knew was special, a 22 year old learning the lyrics to lover and imagining her first dance with someone who put her heart back together, and now a 23 year old feeling scared of the current state of the world but finding comfort in cardigan, and feeling the anthem of mad woman as she’s been put down by a male dominated society. So yeah, safe to say, I wish I could meet Taylor and tell her how she’s been with me since 2006, and has shaped my adolescence like no artist has been able to do.
