13 Fun Facts - November

Happy Swift Day everyone (belated – sorry)!! Here are the 13 Fun Facts for November:



1. Our Song and Tim McGraw are about the same person

2. Only 1 other person has ever won the CMA Pinnacle award and that was Garth Brooks. Tay is the first female to win it

3. Scott Swift used to be a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch

4. Taylor loves chandeliers

5. Her favorite Disney movie is The Lion King

6. She thinks the lyrics to “Cold As You” are among the best she’s ever written

7. One of her bodyguards is named Bobby

8. The music video for “Teardrops On My Guitar” was filmed in 1 day

9. Taylor says the dresses are her “comfort zone” when it comes to clothes

10. The only time Tay feels insecure about her clothes is if she thinks she is underdressed

11. Sometimes Taylor attends Crosspoint Church in Nashville for Sunday services

12. Garth Brooks daughters have seen Taylor in concert

13. Taylor likes to think a good book and a good concert are the same, because they both let you escape for a little while

The Quote of the Month for November is a line from "Story of Us." "The battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down if you said you'd rather love than fight." 

I think everyone has been in a relationship where it seemed like only one person was truly invested. The other person was always upset about something or looking for a fight. This line is where she lays it all out there and tells this person (JM) that its on him and if he wants to fix it to let her know. Obviously we know this person didn't, but the right one will. 

We love you guys, have a great month!

13 Fun Facts - September

Happy Swift Day everyone! I can’t believe it is September already! Yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of the “Love Story” music video; I still can’t believe it’s been 5 years since the video came out. Anyways, without further ado here are our 13 Fun Facts of the month:

1) Liz Rose is the first co-writer Taylor worked with

2) Carlos Pena of Big Time Rush tweeted that he was going to buy RED after watching Taylor’s 2012 AMA performance

3) Tim McGraw asked Taylor to be a part of “Highway Don’t Care” via text message

4) When Taylor’s first CMA award arrived in the mail, she invited Abigail over and they opened it together

5) A radio DJ once called Taylor “fearless” in 2007

6) The kids in the “Everything Has Changed” music video are named Alison and Christopher which are also Taylor and Ed’s middle names

7) Taylor’s favorite thing about Meredith is her ears

8) Taylor sold her unreleased song “Being With My Baby” to Australian country singer Shea Fisher

9) Her singing voice is classified as an Alto

10) She drinks so much water that the Agency makes fun of her for it

11) Country singer Miranda Lambert loves the album RED

12) Taylor saves most of the money she earns

13) Her favorite brand of boots is Liberty Boots

The quote of the month is: “Just because as human beings, what we can't have is what we replay in our head over and over again before we go to sleep.”

In this quote Taylor was talking about heartbreak and why she writes a lot about breakups. I see her point. When you thought you had something but you no longer have it, it almost becomes more desirable. How many relationships have you played over and over in your head after they had ended? I certainly have.

13 Fun Facts - August

Happy Swift Day!!! Who’s ready for this month’s 13 Fun Facts?! Here we go….*drum roll*


1) Taylor has a picture from the “Thug Story” video in her kitchen


2) The song “Mean” is speculated to be about music critic Bob Lefsetz who said, “…now everybody knows that Taylor Swift can’t sing.”


3) Taylor was supposedly offered a contract with Disney sometime between 2002 and 2004


4) When she was just starting out, she used to beg radio DJs to play her music and she would even bake them cookies


5) The music video for “Tim McGraw” was shot at Johnny Cash’s cabin, so they named the boy in the video Johnny


6) Hockey is one of Taylor’s favorite sports and she was even a spokesperson for the Nashville Predators at one point


7) Taylor went with Dianna Agron to see The Hunger Games at an LA movie theater


8) Her Twitter name has 13 characters (@taylorswift13)


9) Taylor has written over 250 songs


10) Her favorite movie is “Love Actually” but she says, “It’s so sad, I can only watch it once a year.”


11) She started the Speak Now World Tour in Singapore because her maternal grandmother is from that country


12) Taylor wrote “Ours” just before turning 20


13) Her measurements are 32-23-35

The quote of the month is: “I've wanted one thing for me whole life and I'm not going to be that girl who wants one thing her whole life then gets it and complains.”


That is something that I truly love and admire about Taylor. All of the other celebrities complain about the paparazzi following them and all of the media attention they get, but Taylor just takes it. She waves to the paparazzi and smiles at them or she’ll just look down and try not to give her emotions away. She knows that they come with her job and because she is living her dream, and she realizes that she is fortunate enough to do so, she accepts them. I think a lot of other celebrities, young and old, could learn a lesson from Miss Swift about that.

RED Tour: Toronto

On June 14^th 2013 my mom, my friend and I went down to Toronto so about 15 minutes from where I live, and we checked into a hotel. This was the beginning to a journey that was going to be enchanting. My friend Sofie and I were dressed in our Morph Suits, wrapped in Christmas lights and had signs that were wrapped with lights also. When we got to Toronto we ate quickly and then we went to Rogers Centre. Our section was up in the 500’s because my mom got our tickets for the first night off my cousin but it didn’t matter, we were going to make the best of it anyway. While we were sitting there we held up our signs and turned on all our lights. During one of the opening acts a man started walking toward us I remember freezing up because I thought he was going to tell us to put our signs down. He crouched down beside me and said “Don’t get too excited but grab all of your belongings and meet me outside the doors” I actually started bawling my eyes out and my friend and I grabbed our stuff and ran out the doors where the man was standing in his hands he had two tickets “We are going to be moving you to the floor” was all the he said before I hugged him with tears down my face. When we got to the floor we were in row 22. As we sat down I met a fellow Swiftie and we were talking before the show started. After Ed came on I went to walk around to see if I could find Taylor’s mom. When I turned my head I saw her running towards me and she gave me such a big hug and told me she loved me. I was in tears again and then a crowd of people came and I got pushed out. Right before Taylor came on I looked behind me to see that Andrea Swift was sitting RIGHT BEHIND US! I took many pictures with her, and I also got to talk to her. We talked with each other for about 6 minutes and then she left but right when she came back she gave me another hug and my friend and told me she loved me and she loved our costumes. While Taylor was making her way down the aisle my friend pushed me and basically threw me and I ended up touching Taylor Swift’s leg. I once again, was bawling. I was actually in awe. I was bawling my eyes out and I couldn’t control it. We danced the whole night away and before we knew it, the concert was over. But it wasn’t really over.

The next night!

June 15^th 2013

My best friend and I were so sore from the night before we had bruises all over our body like crazy. We got up around 8:30 AM because my mother thought It would be funny to do so. It wasn’t funny. AT ALL!. So Sofie and I got on our costumes again and changed all the batteries in them. We started walking across the street from the hotel to Rogers Centre. We sat there outside ALL DAY It was really hot out too!. While we sat out there I got to Skype with my best friend Courtney it was really fun!!. When the doors opened we booked it inside. We took our seats section 116 row 4 seats 1 and 2. We were right against the floor this time. I couldn’t stop crying I couldn’t hold myself together. During one of the opening acts some man came around and told us that we need to go to the B Stage around a certain time.

My friend and I got all ready to go. When the time came we ran as fast as we could and all that running paid off because we got right at the front of the stage. I have it all filmed, Sofie was actually the one doing the filming for me. Ed came right up to us and smiled and made eye contact with Sofie. During one of her songs I yelled “I love you Taylor!” and she smiled right at me! I was so just mind blown at what I experienced while I was there and It got even better when Taylor started “Highway Don’t Care” After she left from the B Stage, we were basically allowed on the floor for the rest of the night! So Sofie and I ran and squeezed through people and we were a couple rows away from the main stage!. Also her mom walked by Sofie and I and said she remembered us from the night before and that she still loves us!

I cant even begin to explain how much those nights meant to me. I have to thank my Mom for everything she has done for this concert to happen. Also my friend Sofie. She is a Green Day fan which means she loves punk and stuff, but she also likes Taylor Swift ever since we met because I’m obsessed. The point is that she chose to spend those two nights with me and my weirdness, deal with all my tears and emotions that night and do all that she could to get me into Club Red. Unfortunately that didn’t happen, but I am so glad I got to meet Andrea, and be able to touch Taylor’s leg and also be able to meet amazing Swifties!.
