So I just spent roughly 4 minutes of my life watching the video for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," and believe me, it was not time well spent. I kept thinking "I should be studying right now" or "this is so stupid why am I still watching this" and my favorite "what am I doing with my life?" Yes, watching a Taylor Swift music video made me question my own personal pursuits. But I still couldn't look away.
Watching that video left me a lot of questions though. Where does she find these guys do date and then dump? And what is she doing that makes all these guys dump her? And honestly, if Taylor Swift, who is arguably one of the prettier people in the world, can't maintain a boyfriend then there is probably no hope whatsoever for the rest of us. My guess is that even though she is gorgeous, she has got some issues. Someone once told me that there is a direct relationship between how attractive a person is and how crazy they are. So while Ms. Swift may appear to be the sweetest country belle around, she's probably knitting matching monogrammed sweaters while planning the wedding two weeks into a relationship. I can't help but feel like she is one of those girls who wants every day she dates to be "the one" or whatever and they will fall madly in love and it will look exactly like one of her music videos. The ones about love, that is.
I mean seriously, the girl has had more storybook romances than Disneyland, which is not only not fair, but is also impossible. Hence the need to go around burning pictures and being incredibly passive aggressive while also brazenly cutting her exes down to size. I will give her that, she has got some nerve to write so many songs about her exes. I think though, that this will back fire on her, if it hasn't already. She will begin to only date guys that want a song written about them. As in they will lead her on, date her for a bit, dump her unceremoniously, then get a song written about them. And then they will be able to brag about it to all their friends. Yeah some people not not like them, but those people are 15 year old girls. The other way this will begin to back fire is that Taylor Swift will simply become undateable. Sure, she will always be beautiful, but soon enough guys will just not want to put about with her and her clinginess, and just won't think it's worth it if they are only going to get a song written about them. So my advice to Ms. Swift would be to calm it down on the boy-bashing songs. If she keeps writing these songs, no one is going to want to date her, and then she won't have any more songs to write, then she will be out of a job. And that's when people start collecting cats. Maybe she could write the jingles for the meow mix commercials. But if you ask me, that's a bit of a step down from selling out arenas and world tours.
But in all honestly, everyone has listened to a Taylor Swift song and been able to relate to it completely, that's why she's so popular. She can never get married though, she would run out of things/guys to write about.
So here's to Taylor Swift, and more importantly, the guys who have dumped her. Without those jerks, we wouldn't have her.

P.S- Bonjour France! I love your food. And pretty much everything about you.
P.P.S- Can't forget about Malaysia. Although I have to say, seeing you guys in the audience was a little surprising, but I'm very glad to have you. Come back soon, and tell your friends.
