She's a 10 but she hates that stupid old pickup truck you never let her drive
She's a 10 but she doesn't know how it gets better than this
She's a 10 but there is nothing she does better than revenge
She's a 10 but she's happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
She's a 10 but when you started crying, she did too
She's a 10 but she once was poison ivy
She's a 10 but she hates to make this all about her
She's a 10 but she stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
She's a 10 but she doesn't like a gold rush
She's a 10 but she's so in love that she might stop breathing, drew a map on your bedroom ceiling…no, she didn't see the news

A "Love Letter" To Taylor Swift
Dear Taylor Swift,
I'm just going to get right to it. You've changed my life. (And the lives of countless others.)
But I still remember getting a karaoke machine for my 6th birthday, back in 2008. Along with the karaoke machine, I got some karaoke CD's. One of those was for your debut album.
And I don't remember all of the details. But once I listened to your songs for the first time, I never stopped.
I felt like I wasn't alone for the very first time.
I was going through a lot. And my family was pretty great, but none of my family was my age. And that was very lonely.
But your music became my safe haven. I learned the lyrics to every word on that cd and sang them every chance I got.
And as you kept releasing music, I stayed up to date as much as I could without a phone or anything.
And I learned so much just singing in that room. I learned that I could do anything, because I saw your dreams all coming true through hard work.
And since I was so young and naive, I wanted to do exactly what you did. When people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I'd say "the next Taylor Swift."
And I grew up and realized that 1, there's only one Taylor Swift, 2, I want to be the first me, and 3, I'd never survive the life of a celebrity. Oh, and also that I don't actually sing very well. 😅
But I watched you do so many amazing things.
And then came Reputation Era.
I had a phone when your accounts all blacked out. So I was able to really be there for the entire thing.
I remember when I heard, "why? Oh, because she's dead" for the first time and freaking out online. Seeing you in concert. Getting merch.
And so much more, but I don't wanna go on forever.
And now, over 15 years since I first got that karaoke CD. And things have changed so much. For both of us. In different ways, but still both of us.
And I don't know where I would be now if I lived in some alternate universe where you didn't exist. But I know it would be a lot worse.
You gave me an outlet when everything became too much. You became my inspiration. You became my hope.
And I can never thank you enough.
For being unafraid to go accomplish your dreams, showing me and so many other little kids that we could do the same. For giving us music that we can connect to so well that it has saved lives by making people feel less alone.
Thank you for being you.
Here's to (hopefully) 15+ more years.
With all my heart,
A Swiftie.
(If you see this, please reblog it on the off chance Taylor comes on & looks at some posts or something)

Imagine if when Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) gets announced/released the advertising repeats “Taylor Swift OUT NOW” or “Taylor Swift COMING OUT SOON” or whatever. A chaotic repeat of “ME! OUT NOW!”
