Why People Should Leave Taylor Swift Alone

As being the biggest Taylor Swift fan, I am sick and tired of hearing people bashing her. It's horrible and outrageous that our country icon of this generation is being constantly talked about negatively. A lot of people are on her case about her dating habits, saying her music is crap and accusing her of playing the victim. Why can people see that she's just simply misunderstood? Why do people insist on making fun of Taylor? Can't you see it's hurting her? 



Some people say that Taylor Swift has succeeded in dating more men than getting hit singles. Well shame on you. Taylor Swift is simply looking for love and it's obvious that she's looking for love in all the wrong places. I mean for crying out loud she even dated John Mayer. I know she lacks insight on who can be the right man for her but give her some credit for even trying. No one wants to be alone and Swift is just simply doing what she has to do to make sure she won't stay alone. Sure she goes through men like a pack of cards, but at least she knows what she wants in a man. 

To the ones who say  that her music is crap, well it's not my fault you lack the knowledge of being able to recognize pure, unbelievable, inspiring talent. In fact, every single artist should start writing songs like her. She has the ability to write multiple songs with just one topic. How many artist can do that? Sure she writes a couple of break up songs here and there, but who doesn't like listening about heartbreak?

Her lyrics speak to me; they comfort me and they help me to go on with my life. Her song "Mean" is a good example of that. It's about being bullied and her lyrical tactics of standing up to her bully is amazing. "Someday I'll be living in a big old city/and all you're ever gonna be is mean/someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me/and all you're ever gonna be is mean/why you gotta be so mean?" That's right. Not only did she write that for her past bully, but she's also talking about the ones who are currently bullying her. So ask yourself this; why you gotta be so mean?

All I'm asking is for you people to leave Taylor Swift alone. She has never done anything wrong so why do people insist on treating her like this? Get out of her dating life. It's none of your business. If you don't like her music then stop listening to it. But don't just sit there and go on and on about how her lyrics suck if you can't seem to understand the hurt and pain in those songs. Leave her alone. Or she'll write a song about you.
