the Artist Hi, I’m Taylor. I’ve been alive for 20 years now, and I finally
have my own kitchen. I’m very excited about this, and generally excited by
anything else that falls into the “cute” or “cozy” categories. I learned to
play guitar when I was twelve fro m this guy named Ronnie who came over to fix
my parents’ computer. I like quilts. But that’s probably because I’m always
freezing cold. I LOVE Nashville. That’s where I live, when I’m lucky enough to
be there. I love the town so much, I sometimes feel like I should just roll
the windows down in my car (nicknamed the Toyoat. Because it’s a Toyota) and
scream “I LOVE THIS TOWN” loudly out the windows. That wouldn’t be weird,
right? Every time I try and wink at someone, I mess it up and end up scaring
people. My lucky number always has been and always will be 13. It pops up in
front of me in the most obvious and undeniable ways, but only when something
good is about to happen. I’m a Sagittarius. I think that means I’m always
looking for something new. It also means I have a Christmas-themed birthday
party every year. I love bright colors and things that make reality seem more
whimsical than it is. I have a collection of ribbons and headbands, and I love
them all the same. I over-think and over-plan and over-organize. I’ve been
like this since I was a baby, before I was gigantically tall and over-
talkative. These days, I’ve been trying to classify my thoughts into two
categories: “Things I can change,” and “Things I can’t.” It seems to help me
sort through what to really stress about. But there I go again, over-planning
and over-organizing my over-thinking! I write songs about my adventures and
misadventures, most of which concern love. Love is a tricky business. But if
it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be so enthralled with it. Lately I’ve come to a
wonderful realization that makes me even more fascinated by it: I have no idea
what I’m doing when it comes to love. No one does! There’s no pattern to it,
except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can’t plan for it. I can’t
predict how it’ll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating
and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful. And even though there’s no way to feel
like I’m an expert at it, it’s worth writing songs about — more than anything
else I’ve ever experienced in my life. I’ve apparently been the victim of
growing up, which apparently happens to all of us at one point or another.
It’s been going on for quite some time now, without me knowing it. I’ve found
that growing up can mean a lot of things. For me, it doesn’t mean I should
become somebody completely new and stop loving the things I used to love. It
means I’ve just added more things to my list. Like for example, I’m still
beyond obsessed with the winter season and I still start putting up strings of
lights in September. I still love sparkles and grocery shopping and really old
cats that are only nice to you half the time. I still love writing in my
journal and wearing dresses all the time and staring at chandeliers. But some
new things I’ve fallen in love with — mismatched everything. Mismatched
chairs, mismatched colors, mismatched personalities. I love spraying perfumes
I used to wear when I was in high school. It brings me back to the days of
trying to get a close parking spot at school, trying to get noticed by soccer
players, and trying to figure out how to avoid doing or saying anything
uncool, and wishing every minute of every day that one day maybe I’d get a
chance to win a Grammy. Or something crazy and out of reach like that. 😉 I
love old buildings with the paint chipping off the walls and my dad’s stories
about college. I love the freedom of living alone, but I also love things that
make me feel seven again. Back then naivety was the norm and skepticism was a
foreign language, and I just think every once in a while you need fries and a
chocolate milkshake and your mom. I love picking up a cookbook and closing my
eyes and opening it to a random page, then attempting to make that recipe.
I’ve loved my fans from the very first day, but they’ve said things and done
things recently that make me feel like they’re my friends — more now than
ever before. I’ll never go a day without thinking about our memories together.
For the last two years, I’ve been writing and recording an album called Speak
Now. I only have the option of writing about things that happen in my life, so
thankfully a LOT has happened in my life in the last two years. I know I don’t
always say the right thing at the right time or speak up when I should, but I
write it all down. I get my guitar and a pen and all of a sudden, I have a
chance to say exactly what I meant to say in real life. Some of the things I
wrote about are things everyone saw me go through. Some of the things I wrote
about are things nobody ever knew about. I’m beyond excited for you to hear
these stories and confessions. I think it’s important that you know that I
will never change. But I’ll never stay the same either. Must be a Sagittarius
thing. I’m pretty stoked that you read this whole thing. I commend you for
that. This was ridiculously long, and you probably have other stuff you
could’ve done in the last four minutes. So to you, or anyone else who has
spent four minutes on me in some way– listening to just one song, or watching
one of my videos….Thank you. I love you like I love sparkles and having the
last word. And that’s real love. –Taylor
