Alright so it's been a pretty crappy week, and for whatever reason listening to Taylor Swift makes things slightly better. She's virtually all I've listened to this week, which means that yes, when I posted last night's video I hadn't even watched it then. That was one of those videos I put in my back pocket to use on a night exactly like last night. Anyway, this is a slightly better vocal performance than the last video of hers I posted. She's not a particularly great live singer, although I'm sure many people will disagree with that. It's not a big deal, I'd still love to see her in concert, as Jay has stated, if I wasn't surrounded by a bunch of 12 year old girls.
This is certainly a Top 5 Taylor Swift song for me, it captures the feeling of admitting you were wronged and hurt by someone, yet being able to forgive them. As referenced by the beginning of the video, it's rumored to be about forgiving Kanye for what happened at the VMA awards in 2009. Coincidentally, the other possibility is that it's about John Mayer, who she was apparently involved with at some point. That relationship obviously didn't end particularly well, which is quite disappointing because John Mayer's the definition of the man, and I love Taylor Swift. Don't worry, I had to look all this gossip up. I have a paper to write for class and clearly went to extreme lengths to avoid doing it.
And by the way, with Valentine's Day coming up, my goal is to find a way to seduce women with my uncanny knowledge of Taylor Swift music. What the hell, nothing else seems to be working.
Since I still don't want to write my paper, here's my Taylor Swift Top 5 for anyone that cares:
1. Back To December (Speak Now)
2. Mary's Song (Taylor Swift)
3. The Way I Loved You (Fearless)
4. Innocent (Speak Now)
5. Tim McGray (Taylor Swift)
Sentimental Honorable Mention - Long Live (Speak Now)
That was one of the most difficult lists I've ever forced myself to make.
