How can you not jump up and scream:

‘ FUCK YES TAYLOR SWIFT, YOU ARE A BADASS!’

When you see such an icon doing something so seemingly simple yet, amazing you can’t help but let that motivate you. (at least I can’t — I will take motivation where I can these days)

Okay, I will admit it. I was not a HUGE Taylor Swift fan in the early 2000s.

I was busy listening to dirty base, busting a move on the dance floor of some seedy underground club all hyped up on fun pills.

But years have past and so have my past times and my music taste.

It wasn’t that I didn’t really know about Ms. Swift but just wasn’t my thing. I felt old and slightly disconnected for the lyrics.

I will also admit I was just to damn cool to listen to anything top 40 on the radio. I realize now how much I was missing out.

I have been hearing rumblings of the rerelease of Red for some time but I will be honest — I didn’t get it.
