Someone I enjoy listening to is Taylor Swift. Her music is all country, rock and pop that many girls have grown to like artistically. In mostly all of her songs she talks about love and heartbreak which many girls understand. She makes you feel happy about love and you want to listen to her when you’re down. Taylor is like a lot of other artists by talking about her love life and making them into a musical story, like Rihanna, Pink, Ceelo Green, Bruno Mars, and many others! It’s such an easy thing to relate to these days and they sing about how you might even feel. Her songs are also different because the feel of them are innocent. She doesn’t curse which also makes it appealing to all types of age groups. Her lyrics of romance are memorable the most to me. Specifically, in her song “Our Song” she talks about late night phone calls and rose petals she comes home to after a long hard day and how the story of their life is their song. These speak to me the most because of how she tells her story and how you can picture how adorable the love is or was. “Swift's voice is unaffected enough to mask how masterful she has become as a singer; she lowers her voice for the payoff lines in the classic mode of a shy girl trying to talk tough. Check the way she tosses off the "You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter" part in "Mine."” This quoted from the Rolling Stone website is something I agree with. I agree that she is a shy girl who really knows how to speak in her music. You can tell how she felt when she wrote it and how strong she felt about it when she sang. She sang soft in the beginning and by the end she was loud and clear of what she was saying. I really think she is worth the time and money of people because she feels like such a real person and although she talks a lot about love and heartache, her music behind the words really is comforting and fun to sing along with.
