Each reader can only read what is already in him. - Marcel Proust
When I was watching " Taylor Swift: Miss Americana ," I saw that little girl singing "Tim McGraw," she was a little reserved on stage, a little sassy, but that was her most youthful appearance.
It was she who moved me, who was also young at the time.
It was 2009, and I was a freshman in high school that year.
Always in a period of time, love a song very much.
So much so that every time I hear a certain song, I recall the corresponding period of time, what happened at that time, and what was my mood at that time.
That song carried its own unique memory, and was endowed with its own feelings, which could never be parted from now on.
As a mold powder who has been fond of Taylor for ten years, I have to say that the original intention is still instant noodles mold. I don't remember whether the first song was "Love Story" or "You Belong With Me", one is the noble princess Juliet in the fairy tale, and the other is an ordinary girl who has a crush and dare not say it, but these two songs The song does loop in my MP3 and I know the lyrics by heart.
That's when I was listening to MP3s.
Slowly more than these two songs, I started listening to "Hey Stephen", "The Best Day", "Untouchable", "White Horse"... The whole album "Fearless" is like a golden Mine, the more you dig down, the more you discover are surprises.
Then started listening to "Teardrops on My Guitar", "Our Song", "Tim McGraw" from an earlier album of the same name...
In 2010, when I was a sophomore in high school, Taylor released a new album "Speak Now". That was one of my favorite times with Taylor, and looking back, it was the only album that Swift made during my entire high school years.
High school is the time when the academic pressure is the greatest, but it is also the time when the secretion of youth hormones is the most prosperous. At that time, it was the era of Guo Jingming and Han Han. The latest issue of "Minimal Novel" was circulated among classmates. The sand sculpture stories that happened between me and the back table of my classmates were collected into a book "The World's Stupid"; I saw the boy I liked at that time. I didn't dare to express it, and I would only yell with Taylor when I was alone: "I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you"; at that time, I secretly made up my mind that I must learn guitar after the college entrance examination.
Taylor's music gave me a lot of strength during the nights when I was in high school.
At that time, Taylor was like a treasure in his heart, a precious treasure that has not been discovered by everyone.
In my second month of college, Red came.
Mildew is no longer an instant face, she is so bright and beautiful with red lips and sunglasses.
I still remember the first and only time I went to listen to Taylor's "Red" concert in Shanghai, and I still remember the moment when my tears fell when she sang "Love Story"——
She was the Taylor everyone loved.
In fact, Taylor's album release rate is really slow. After 13 years of debut, basically two years of a studio album:
Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation and Lover. Only "1989" and "Reputation" were separated by 3 years.
Taylor says in the film:
You can't change people's minds when they don't love you anymore. They just don't love you anymore.
I almost disappeared from the public for a year and I thought that was what they wanted.
In 2017, after three years of silence, she finally returned with honor.
I used to live for those compliments. It's very satisfying for me to be recognized. I became the person everyone expected me to be. But, that's it.
Taylor said her whole moral code since she was a child was that people needed to think I was a good person, and the whole belief system was Do the right thing, do the good thing.
Although she's not a perfect person, she's always trying to be a good girl.
Taylor, who was 20 years old, was on the billboard chart for the first time and pointed to his position excitedly in the video.
The girl who has always aimed to be a good girl, when she has won a lot of honors, can't find herself.
But if you lose yourself, how can you be happy?
Thirteen years later, Taylor has changed from a country princess to a pop queen, but she has grown into a strong and independent woman with countless little girls.
When little Taylor first received a guitar as a gift, she yelled: I, Am, Happy.
Like Taylor said, true happiness is not the kind of happiness that others teach, it is just because we are happy.
Just go and have fun the whole time.
