13 Fun Facts - May

Another month is here and it is time for another round of 13 Fun Facts so let's get right down to the good stuff....


1) “Love Story” is about a guy that Taylor dated that none of her family liked. They thought he was a creep, “and he was, but I loved him,” she said laughing.

2) Tay said she “typically never” has a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day

3) Taylor has never yelled at a boyfriend. “I’m not a yeller. If something’s done, it’s done.”

4) When Taylor hugs fans ,she often smells to see if they’re wearing one of her perfumes

5) Taylor has a pair of flats that say “fairy tales are true” on the inside

6) She has a younger cousin named Chandler who was in a Jr. Miss America pageant

7) Taylor’s 3rd favorite song in 2009 was “Blush (Only You)” by Plumb

8) Luna Halo covered Taylor’s version of “Untouchable”

9) Taylor wrote a song called “This is Really Happening” and sold it to Britini Hoover. Britini recorded it on her 2007 album Country Strong

10) Taylor’s back-up singers for the RED Tour call themselves “The Starlights”

11) Tay keeps her Grammy’s on her piano and looks at them while she plays

12) Her favorite song from her debut album is “Cold As You”

13) Jennifer Lawrence is one of her favorite actresses



The quote for the month comes from a tweet Taylor posted back in 2009. "We wish because we need help and we're scared and we know we may be asking too much."

 I really love this quote because it is so true. Everyone needs help, but we are also too scared to as for it because we might be asking too much of the other person. All I know for sure is that it's ok to ask for help. Never think you are asking too much by reaching out to someone. Everyone needs a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on at some point in their lives and someday you will be strong enough to be that for another person.

Have a great month

Love,

C&C

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

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.
