Not so Swift.

The music world is full of prodiges, and Taylor Swift is no exception. However, I am no longer a Swift heart.

At the beginning of Taylor's career she was an innocent Nashville voice with beautiful blonde waves. She had a sense of vulnerability to her passionate song writing that stopped everyone in their tracks. Her songs were relateable and touching. Yes, I have a select few that I definately feel were written for me. This is not the Taylor you see today posing for Cosmo magazine.

So let me say what I enjoy about her. My favorite album was definately Speak Now. The songs were fun, and you could see her personality throughout the album. I also admire her songwriting abilities. For that I say, "Well done." You saw that Taylor was bridging the gap between country and pop, but still rang true to herself.
Taylor's success is inspiring, and the humility she has displayed throughout the first segment of her career was something we should all learn from.

Taylor's music overall is beginning to rub me the wrong way. Her songs are all about one thing- boys. How they broke her heart, how she loved and it wasn't returned, how he cheated and should have stood up for her and the list goes on. And they are almost all about her real life relationships. I'm beginning to wonder if she ever does anything else with her time...

So far she has dated Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, a Kennedy (maybe 2) and others.

Taylor we want to hear about your life outside of boys.

As a celebrity, one has so much influence, power (and money) to make a difference in this broken world. Whether it be through a charity or simply setting a good example for young fans. I personally want to follow someone with goals, discipline, a HEALTHY relationship, and a burning love for Christ. To my knowledge, Taylor is only in the headlines for who she dates. Even some of the other top earning celebs have been noted for reaching out. (Justin Bieber, Brangelina, Oprah...the list goes on.)

In my opinion, Taylor is nowhere near the girl she was when she released the first album featuring "Our Song". Not only is her sound different, but her looks and personality too. I miss those gorgeous blonde curls and innocent songs, not to mention the girl trying to hard to imitate a former Kennedy. (Although Jackie had class that was impeccable.) I am no longer a fan.

One day I hope to have a Miranda-Blake fairy tale. Hopefully there's a man who can handle this bundle of glitter covered gunpowder and lead.

Please note no Swift songs, ex-boyfriends, or fans were harmed in the making of this blog.
