I absolutely agree with Melanie. I love Taylor Swift and so do all of her fans. She has an amazing gift to be able to write a whole album about her experiences in life and plus she has an incredible voice. I admire how pretty much all of her songs depict what teenage girls are going through and therefore they really look up to her. She has the voice, as I may clearly say, of an angel and another great quality is that she is absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite songs from her is “White horse.” The reason why I like this song so much is because she is talking about her prince charming and it seems like it’s talking about a torn fairytale. It stems from a very emotional place in Swifts life. It's about that moment where you realize the person you thought was going to be Prince Charming and sweep you off your feet is really not going to come and sweep you off your feet. And, in addition to breaking up with you, he ends up falling in love with someone else. He sweeps somebody else off their feet and it's going to be something that you're going to have to get over. There's that moment in the letdown where you realize that, and you realize that person isn't your future…. they are your past. That is one song I can relate with really well. Another song I really enjoy, along with Melanie, is “Love Story.” This song offers a strong melody and a catchy tune. It should also be taken for what it is: a sweet catchy song that took over country radio and pop radio as well. It tells a story about the unrequited love between two people who are not allowed to be together but try anyways. This is the conflict. Swifts song/ music video mirror the idea of the play Romeo and Juliet. The video does a good job in expressing the characters personalities. Juliet, played by Swift, is shown as an innocent girl who is waiting for her prince. I think the lighting, costumes, make-up and scenery were all chosen very carefully and all worked perfectly for the video. Taylor Swift is one of my favorite artists because she can relate so well with teen girl. The stories told through her music are one of the reasons why I love an artist like Taylor Swift so much!
