The Evolution Of Taylor Swift

I've been attempting to write a poem about a bar for the last 3 hours - I've got about 8 lines... Only in Spain am I assigned a poem about a bar...

Anyways-

In this time that I've been procrastinating and trying to make my limited Spanish vocabulary rhyme and talk about my limited Spanish bar experiences, I've been watching Taylor Swift's entire music video playlist on YouTube.

For everyone who doesn't know, I'm kinda in love with her. She's my favorite singer and just like any other girl growing up with her, the songs she writes are a direct correlation to my life.

So when Red came out this fall, there was a very clear change in her style. It took me quite a few times of sitting through the whole album to decide if I liked it or not, but in the end I do. Just like any other artist that got their start in their teens, she's making that awkward switch of style to grow with her. (Mind you, I still don't understand why there were ever 3 and 4 year olds at her concerts...)

And what's the whole point of me typing all this? I'm not really sure to be honest.

I just saw the music video for "I knew you were trouble" and it was good - really good. Strong message and bigger themes than her past CDs. And the video for "Begin Again" was filmed in Paris - a place that will forever be close to my heart.

Again, all these things sound better in my head than written, but there's meaning in them for me.

A line that says, "The worst part of it all wasn't losing him, it was losing me." - there's meaning. And regardless if it means anything to anyone else, I feel like I should write this so I don't forget that.
