โYou know, in the past few years, I have released more music than I did in the entire decade preceding that. And I really feel like thatโs down to the fact that you, the fans, made it clear that you wanted to hear lots of music that I would make. You encouraged me. And so I found that the more music I made, and the more music I put out, the happier I was. The more I kept that channel open, kept creating, kept making things, and the more that happened, the more you guys were like, โYeah! Keep doing it!โ. So I have the fans to thank, essentially, for my happiness. And I love you more than I can say. I cannot express how unbelievable it is to me that I still get to do this and that you still care. So, thank you underlined with 13 exclamation points, I donโt know what to say, I love you!โ
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT! (December 13th, 1989)
