taylor swift

for the past several years, i have vowed to despise taylor swift's music.
i don't know why. maybe just because people say i look like her.
or because she's a country singer and i hate* country music.

[*clarification: when i think of country music...
i think of the songs you hear on the radio
about some guy and how much he loves his pickup truck.
he's upset and tears well up in his eyes.
wailing, his voice breaks mid-verse, but he doesn't care.
chorus: he sings about a girl or how he wants to go home to mississippi.
he drinks some coffee and feels better.
he sees a butterfly and there's a gentle breeze in the trees.
happy song ending with guitar solo.
is so dumb and pointless...]

but... i actually have begun to like one of taylor swift's songs.
and i actually went home and listened to it... several times!

i have not dared yet to listen to any of her other songs,
because maybe then i will like them too.
and if i like more than one of her songs,
then it will be said that i actually like her.

now do you see the dilemma i am in?
my previous prejudiced thinking has been turned upside down!
i was comfortable in my little blindly hating bubble.
but it has burst it into a million pieces! oh dear.

whatever am i going to do?
shall i listen to another song in the hope that i will hate it?
i do not dare to take that chance.
because if i do like it... then i will like it!

  3. This made me laugh a lot. You are the best :) I think I made that promise not to like her, yet I somehow love her now. Funny how that works.
