I used to like Taylor Swift very much, not because of her beauty, not because of her smile, not because of her young age, but because she used her delicate emotions to brew a deep-rooted song, that’s her. The most fascinating place, but I don’t know since when, the old Taylor is Dead, she became an opinion leader sought after by thousands of people, but she was no longer the sunny girl who quietly played the guitar and happily flicked her hair.
<1> Music Life
After thinking about the four titles, I suddenly remembered a question. What was the original intention of the celebrity to shoot a documentary for himself? To shoot for himself, set a bookmark for his life, and talk about comfort when he suddenly looks back; or shoot for others to see and for fans , For passersby who are not fans yet, or for everyone.
I like Lady Gaga's "Five Feet Two Inches", sincere; I like Ed Sheeran's "Songwriter", frankly. But after watching "Miss Americana", I have a mixed feeling, maybe because there are too many things to say, my own efforts, my own achievements, my own efforts to change the future and the changes that have been made. In the future, if you want to make every one of them perfect, it may be the reason that you are not likable. After all, even if you don't say anything about a person who is too good, everyone can see that, why superfluous.
I started chasing TS from "Love Story". I'm not a fan or a fan, but I listen to every album, and I still listen to my favorite "RED". Music is all of TS, her sense of security, her source of confidence, her weapon, and all her emotional reactions. Her songs are largely her own. I think a lot of times, maybe she Too much care about life, or too much dependence on music. After all, when you are staring at the abyss, the abyss is staring at you too.
Composition and lyrics have always been TS's specialty. The awards from the Nashville Songwriters Association and the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the selection of the 100 greatest songwriters in history in the 2015 "Rolling Stone" selection are all strong proofs. The lyrics of "RED" back then It is almost the same as a full score composition, and looking at "Lover" again, it is simply the difference between the mid-term exam and GRE. I personally have to admit that in terms of creation, she is indeed not as good as before, even though she is still excellent.
Loving him is like driving a new Maseratidown a dead end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying change to your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue, like I've never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
"Reputation" missed the Grammy nomination, perhaps because it was too hostile and did not match academic tastes, but there is one thing to say, "Fame" is a TS album I like very much, but fortunately, the attitude is not the song itself. In the eyes of the whole network of green snakes, LWYMMD is directly positive. Compared with the methods of shaping the image of the weak and saving the country and whitening the country, it directly changes its appearance. The positive network Haters is really ruthless, and it is even more powerful with the cooperation of the MV. Sales myth.
However, "Lover" did not hit the Grammys with the regret and helplessness of reputation. The reason may be that people who have listened to the album seriously should also understand what is going on. It does not surpass before. Of course I mean. Not only reputation, but all the previous ones.
Once TS’s followers were able to empathize from her songs, as if they met a sister next door, but this empathy, as TS’s reputation grows, its power becomes greater, and it’s getting closer and closer to home. It's getting stretched out, after all, how could this content appear in my diary?
Frankly speaking, in the music industry, TS has indeed achieved achievements that few people have achieved, and she may only be able to experience her hard work and persistence. It’s easy to become a popular one. Looking at the past ten years, how many European and American singers have gone up and down, and their debut singles have topped the charts, and they have made their best at major awards ceremonies, but the rare thing is persistence. Go on, at this point, TS deserves it.
There are a lot of times thinking about whether people like TS’s songs or TS herself, her beauty or her talents, her inspirational story or her invincibility, or whether she has become the one who wants to live. The appearance becomes a beacon that we don’t want to work hard but don’t want to give up hope.
She is still young, but not so young anymore. There are more young singers catching up, just like the soft Bili held in the Grammy that just ended. Sometimes people like something very random. It may be a hot head in a certain period or a collective follow-up. It’s like I don’t understand why Harlem Shake is so popular. Many times, there will be a lot of popular songs. It slaps the faces of those who are serious about making music, but there is no way. The audience is the singer's food and clothing parents. Only if someone likes it, it will last forever.
Hope that music is still your spear and armor, and it can also be your stability and happiness.
Persevere, with your pride and talent, even if one day you are no longer young.
This sentence is really superfluous.
<2> Drama
The Drama with Kanye was indeed Kanye's RUDE at first, and even Obama called him "Jackass".
But after such a long time, I think the biggest impact on TS at the time was not that the water in your circle was so deep, it was not that better works should be used to hit others in the face, not that it should stay away from the "jerk" and live a good life, but that the gentleman's revenge ten It's not too late.
She wanted to win so much, whether in music or "counterattack." So much so that later she still promised to give Kanye a "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the 2015 MTV Music Video Awards (VMAs), and the follow-up song "Famous". After being bitten by a snake, she didn't have to be afraid of ropes for ten years. , But still "want to shed light on the past." I really can't accept such a "silly white sweet" persona. It's no wonder that MEAN talks such as "conspiracy theory" will appear.
So when Green Snake swiped the screen, I even thought, it's not that Kanye and Kardashian are too familiar with this set, but TS is too in love with each other. Good girls have to go forward boldly, don't be nostalgic.
It’s important to maintain a good personality, whether it’s the "good girl" before or the current "Miss Americana", but more importantly, don’t wade into the muddy water because you are too confident, because you never know, muddy In addition to muddy water, there may be other unexpected traps and messy follow-ups.
Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it. Never pay too much attention to the recognition of others. Don’t be too addicted to the applause and shouts and dazzling glow sticks. The sense of security is given by yourself. Today’s self is better than yesterday’s self, just Okay, you won't always be the number one in the universe. Too many people are "seeing him raising a tall building, seeing him banqueting guests, seeing his building collapse", and cherish your feathers.
<3> opinion leaders
I am optimistic about TS working hard to become an opinion leader, but not optimistic about her getting involved in politics, although sometimes the two things are difficult to separate.
Her influence is obvious to all. She can do many things that ordinary people cannot accomplish. She is personally fighting for the rights of the disadvantaged groups around her, but as she herself said, "Even if the $1 lawsuit is won, there is no victory. Feeling", because apart from knowing that this happened and we won the case, everything else seems to have not changed. She can appeal to everyone to strive for their own interests, but not everyone is as capable of strategizing as she does. Perhaps this matter itself has a long way to go. Raise a glass for the brave, sincerely.
Your regret may be the regret of many people, but your victory may not bring more victory. In any case, thank you for your hard work.
I think this smile comes from the bottom of my heart.
Even if you put on a dark lip color, playing the piano still looks calm.
Change your image, no longer be a "good girl," no longer conceal your political opinions, and even try to change the political situation.
I have to say that Teplan’s phrase "25% reduction in goodwill" and a smirk later on, I was actually a bit fancied. That kind of calmness may be exactly what TS needs to practice.
In the end, this attempt was not a success, but it should have tasted the sweetness of TS.
Then, she wrote the documentary ending song "Only the Young" to resist and prepare arms for the next battle.
She is trying to draw the power to herself, hoping that there is no risk of igniting her upper body.
She lives in an ivory tower and says "Run from fascism". Is this a goddess image?
In any case, we are looking forward to a better world.
She likes the feeling of victory so much, so much.
<4> Not any more
I will still listen to her new songs and still want to watch her concerts, but I may not like her that much anymore. Maybe it's not that she has changed, but I have changed.
I miss her delicacy and love-hate separation in her country;
Miss her first taste of POP in "1989";
I miss the quiet look when I sit in front of the piano and sing "Long Live" quietly. All these will be deep in my mind.
At the same time I hope you are loved;
I hope you are still yourself;
I hope you no longer look back at the past, but embrace the future;
I hope you still insist on writing down your thoughts and telling stories quietly.
I hope you will always remember that the only way to make a musician evergreen is to bring more good works that hit people's hearts.
Long Live!
