Agh sorry I didn't notice this sooner! Well... it's a complicated relationship.
I looked up to her so much when I was a freshman in high school (ya know with 'Fifteen' and that whole album). I was a huge fan, and I went to her Speak Now tour going into my senior year of high school. That was my first actual concert and I was absolutely floored. She's quite a performer.
Then I got to college and still really liked her but when I heard her first single released on the radio that summer I was taken aback, and not in a good way. In between Speak Now and the release of the Red album, she really changed. I always say when she straightened her hair, it must've done something to her brain too. Don't get me wrong, I still liked the album but it wasn't the Taylor that I admired so much in high school. And then when the whole Golden Globes ordeal happened I really lost faith in her. Tina and Amy lampoon everyone, they weren't trying to single her out. It's not even that she couldn't take the joke, but that she took the opportunity to attack them with the whole "special place in hell" bit (which was a quote that she took out of context anyway). I almost sold my tickets when that happened, but my roommate really wanted to go so I didn't. I'm more disappointed in her than anything, because I had grown to really trust her and she let me down.
We still went to the concert and had a good time but the tone of the entire show was completely different from the first one I went to. I still like her, but I don't consider her to be one of my heroes anymore.
