"you said the way

my blue eyes shined put those Georgia stars to shame that night"

Taylor Swift, Tim Mcgraw

*Most amazing night ever. To quote miss unconventionally beautiful herself, "The only thing better than the Taylor Swift cd: seeing her in concert."

"People haven't always been there for me, but music always has."

Taylor Swift on music in her life

*OMG. This weekend. I can hardly focus this week, I'm so excited.

"So baby drive slow, till we run out of road in this one horse town. I wanna stay right here, in this passenger's seat. You put your eyes on me, in this moment now capture it,

remember it."

Taylor Swift, Fearless

--

*25 DAYSSSS. Beyond excited.

"When I was a little girl, I used to read fairytales. In those fairytales, you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairytales, the bad guy is easy to spot... he is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought, and you realize that the bad guy is not wearing a black cape, nor is he easy to spot. He's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair."

Taylor Swift

"I guess sometimes three chords and the truth is all you need."

Taylor Swift, White Horse

*I am probably going to be quoting Taylor a lot in the near future... I'm getting excited about her concert in October, so I'm listening to her on repeat. My goal is to feature each one of her songs on my blog... just kidding... but really, they are about my life. I actually may dedicate an entire tag to her lyrics...

"You showed me something that I couldn't see; you opened my eyes and you made me believe."

Taylor Swift, Crazier

--

*Seeing her the day before my 22nd birthday... I couldn't BE more pumped.

"And the story of us looks a lot like a

tragedy now."

Taylor Swift, You're Not Sorry

Taylor Swift, The Way I Loved You

"Something keeps me holding on to nothing."


Taylor Swift, Haunted

Unless you can think, when the song is done

No other is soft in the rhythm,

Unless you can feel, when left by one,

That all men else go with him.

Unless you can know, when unpraised by his breath

That your beauty itself wants proving,

Unless you can swear "For life, for death,"

Oh, fear to call it loving.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Excerpt from A Woman's Shortcomings

--

*This is only one stanza from the five stanza poem I just memorized for poetry class. Need I remind you that I am a song lyrics connoisseur, not a poet. This was a very difficult assignment for me... I even had to sing the poem to myself to pretend it was a song. When I asked my mom for advice on what poet to chose from, though, she told me that Elizabeth Barrett Browning was the Taylor Swift of her time. I think I can handle that.

"All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss."

Taylor Swift, Last Kiss

"You paint me a blue sky, and go back and turn it to rain. I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules everyday."

Taylor Swift, Dear John

"I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show."

"Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain. Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain."

Taylor Swift, Sparks Fly

"Time turns flames to embers, you'll have new Septembers. Everyone of us has messed up too. Lives change like weather; I hope you remember, today is never too late to be brand new."

Taylor Swift, Innocent

**It wasn't easy for me to choose which song to quote from Taylor's new album. I am OBSESSED with every song. Like I've said before, she seems to write songs about my life. Maybe I can talk to her and get her to sing some happier songs... It's never good when the songs you relate too are called "Haunted," "Last Kiss," and "Dear John." At least I'm not comparing myself to Ke$ha songs anymore... HAH! Rough times.

"Braced myself for the goodbye, cause it's all I've ever known."

Taylor Swift, Mine

Life Lessons (IV)

"I don't know what I want, so don't ask me, cause I'm still trying to figure it out. Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking. Trying to see through this rain coming down. Even though im not the only one that feels the way I do. I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know. I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on."

Taylor Swift, Place In This World

I Don't Care For Your Fairytales

" Cinderella's on her bedroom floor

She's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store

Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore

And she forgets why she came here"

*This picture reminds me of Tim Walker photography. I immediately thought of this song when I saw the picture. As much as they fit, though, I am still determined to believe that fairytales, or at least modified versions of fairytales, come true. If they don't, I'm scared I will lose all hope for love that I have left. Maybe I should channel some Taylor Swift "Love Story."
