My best friend was recently hit by a distracted driver while walking on the sidewalk. The accident has completely altered her life, shattering her hips and there’s still a chance that she’ll lose her leg. She is being so positive and strong throughout this long and painful recovery process, but there’s just one thing we can’t get over. The fact that she’ll miss the Taylor Swift show.

Lita and I first bonded over our love for @taylorswift and have carried that love through our friendship over the last 4 years. When her mom got diagnosed with stage 4 bone cancer and she had to move back home to Nashville, we knew that meant we wouldn’t be able to check off a bucket list item of seeing Taylor live together. We coped with it by knowing we could both go see her in our own cities (Boston and Nashville) and share our memories together. With the recent accident that happened during a long weekend in Boston, Lita is not able to travel to Nashville and will miss the Reputation Stadium Tour completely. In the grand scheme of things, missing a @taylorswift concert might not seem like a big deal, but to us it’s the hardest part of the recovery so far. @taylornation

Lita is continuing to make progress and even had some stitches removed yesterday! She still has a long time at to go and will likely have a full leg cast for the next 6 weeks. We’re trying so hard to stay positive throughout the process!

Taylor’s in town this week and my girl Lita is still stuck in rehab and not able to leave for the show. It’s crazy how a few seconds and a freak accident can alter your life forever. @taylorswift @taylornation

By 30, you should have: •One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come. •A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family. •Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour. •A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying. •A youth you’re content to move beyond. •A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age. •The realization that you are actually going to have an old age—and some money set aside to help fund it. •An e-mail address, a voice mailbox and a bank account—all of which nobody has access to but you. •A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded. •One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry. •A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra. •Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it. •The belief that you deserve it. •A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30. •A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all those other facets of life that do get better. By 30, you should know: •How to fall in love without losing yourself. •How you feel about having kids. •How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without ruining the friendship. •When to try harder and when to walk away. •How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next. •The names of: the secretary of state, your great-grandmother and the best tailor in town. •How to live alone, even if you don’t like to. •How to take control of your own birthday. •That you can’t change the length of your calves, the width of your hips or the nature of your parents. •That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over. •What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love. •That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs or not flossing for very long. •Who you can trust, who you can’t and why you shouldn’t take it personally. •Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault. Why they say life begins at 30.

Every week at work I send out a TaylorTuesday email. I’ve decided to share these updates with a larger audience.

Happy TaylorTuesday!

We finally have something to discuss other than Hiddleswift. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 48 hours, you’ve heard about the latest Taylor/Kim Kardashian/Kayne West drama. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, please read this for the entire back story of where this drama is coming from. (Probably just read this anyway because it’s very informative) https://www.buzzfeed.com/jemimaskelley/this-was-the-kanye-west-famous-lyric-before-taylor-swift-app?utm_term=.km0AG2X3B2#.coQqKAvDVA

The internet has official lost their minds over this and everyone is saying that Taylor has been “exposed” as a “liar” and “disingenuous”. Now, if you actually listen to what Taylor has said the entire time during this “Famous” drama she has always only had an issue with Kayne’s line that calls Taylor “that b*tch”. Watching the videos Kim released, it is clear that Kayne never told Taylor about the “that b*tch” line. So technically she never lied. Did she overact when Famous was released, probably. Did she lie, not really.

Now to address the claims that Taylor is disingenuous. As a huge Taylor fan, I just have to say DUH. Everything Taylor has done in the last 4-5 years has clearly been planned by her team. Let’s look at the Twitter “fight” she had with Nicki Minaj about the VMAs. The two get into a Twitter fight only to make up on national TV with a “surprise” joint performance to open the VMA show. Calculated. Taylor’s squad was debuted to the public just at the beginning on her press tour for 1989 where she was debuting her new look and sound. The original members of Taylors squad? VS Models who just a year prior had nothing but negative things to say about Taylor. Calculated. To bring us back to Hiddleswift, Taylor hired a paparazzi photographer to take “unplanned” photos of the couple to debut their relationship. Calculated. Taylor’s team conveniently let it leak that Taylor wrote Calvin’s hit new song around the same time Calvin’s song presumably stating that Taylor cheated was released. Calculated. So, is Taylor disingenuous? I’d be surprised if anything she has done in the public eye since the release of Fearless has actually been real, but that’s what has made Taylor into the mega star she is today. And It’s not our place to hate on Taylor for this. Anyone in the public eye has every right to own their image and control the way the media portrays them.

SO for all the Taylor “fans” out there that say Kim “exposed” her for who she really is and that they can no longer support her, I can’t relate. #taylorfanforlife

And to Kim K, Just remember that Taylor once wrote this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS2WLrRShO8
