Some of us were young when we first saw you. I can close my eyes and the flashback starts. I’m dancing there, listening to “𝙾𝚞𝚛 𝚂𝚘𝚗𝚐”, jealous of your curly hair. Wether it was at your start or somewhat later, the Swift Chicks heard your music and we 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚢 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚢 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚍 and that won’t 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎, we’ll be here until the 𝚎𝚗𝚍 (𝚐𝚊𝚖𝚎).

It’d be a dream come true to be invited to a secret session. You are such an angel for inviting your fans (friends) into your life for this. I’m not jealous at all everyone getting invited. ACTUALLY I’M SECRETLY DYING INSIDE.

@taylorswift

Dear Taylor,

Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday when… I was a teenage girl watching music videos and stumbled across your video for Tim McGraw. My life has never been the same, for the better. As much I loved your hair, I love your music so much more. I’m sure you hear this all the time, but For the last 13 years, it feels like every stage of your musical career has matched what I have been going through in my life. Whether it be your lyrics for Dear John matching my story to the T with a boy named J____n, or turning 22 when your album Red was released, or listening to Blank Space on repeat until my 1989 CD started skipping (before Apple Music was a thing). Your songs have been the soundtrack to my young adulthood. I promise I’ll continue to set alarm clocks at midnight every time you release something new, if you promise to keep releasing music that pulls on my heart strings. It would be a dream come true to meet you. No but seriously, I have had multiple dreams about meeting you. I just want to say thank you for being you.

Love you forever and always,

Cassie

Hi y’all I’m a new member of @theswiftchicks. Click that profile to learn more about us and our love for @taylorswift.

I’m Jordan and I live in Oxford, Mississippi. I’m originally from Las Vegas, Nevada though! My “stan” tumblr username is playedemlikeaviolin, but you can also find me @joyousjordan

To be honest, I can’t quite remember when I became a Taylor Swift fan, but I do know that she is one of the best performers, storytellers, lyricists, and musical Easter Egg layers around.

My first Taylor concert was the Fearless tour in Las Vegas. Honestly, the entertainment value was off the charts. I’ll never forget the rain at the end with the hearts streaming down. Also I got to touch Taylor’s back when she popped up in the back of the arena and went down the stairs of my section! Ha. Truly one of the best performers I’ve ever seen, and growing up in the entertainment capital of the world, I’ve seen the very best.

I think one of the highlights of my life was attending the 1989 tour on a whim, I bought a ticket to the Atlanta show the day-of from a sorority sister, and drove myself from Auburn. The line “I’m dancing on my own, make the moves up as I go” from “Shake it Off” hit me, for some reason. I attended the concert alone, but I realized it was OK to dance through life alone- to live it freely and loudly and expressively, not knowing the next move and not caring about that.

I’ll always love Taylor for her authenticity, and the fact she has been a classy role model for so many. So thanks, Taylor, for being a soundtrack to so many years of my life!

A Letter to Taylor

The following letter was written on July 28th 2018. It was intended to be given that day if I had the opportunity to meet you after the concert at Gillette. Everything I wrote then is true now. 

Dear Taylor, 

I just wanted to thank you. I’ve been listening to your music from the beginning and I’ve always felt like you could read my mind. Every single song you wrote at the time you released it matched up with a boy or a feeling. You are so much more than a popstar to me. You put my feelings into songs. You make me feel like you know me even though we’ve never met. I know you probably get letters like this all the time, but this one is a little different in the end so please keep reading… From the first day I was introduced to your music in the high school library, I was hooked. I’ve always believed in Love Stories and you made me feel normal for not settling for anything but my Romeo. When You Belong With Me came out I had a crush on a boy who was in love with, you guessed it… The cheer captain, and you better believe I was on the bleachers. The song Fifteen literally has my name in it. Never Grow Up came out my freshman year of college and I cried and cried to it. Also, at the bridge of All Too Well, are you kidding me? “Call me up again just to break me like a promise?”… My gosh!!When Shake It Off came out I was in a really negative work environment and I played 1989 every day on my way to work.  The lead single being a mantra of sorts. 

I came across a letter that I wrote to you along time ago. It reads “Dear Taylor, your music makes my heart smile you teach me to Speak Now when I have something to say and to be Fearless. I believe in Love Stories. It’ll happen for us. Well Taylor, as I write this letter I am getting married in two weeks!! I am so Ready For It and I tell him all the time that “he’s the best thing that’s ever been Mine.” (It’s even in my vows.) I am walking down the aisle to Today Was a Fairytale, and I hope it will be. Thank you for continuing to be such a huge part of my life. I will love you Forever and Always (I mean it).

Love,

Abby

Ps. My (now husband) said “you are the best thing that’s ever been mine” in his vows too! Neither of us knew the other did that. And the day was without a doubt a fairytale.

What does Taylor Swift mean to ME!?

It all started back in 2006, 13 years ago with Taylor’s first album release. I was instantly drawn to her melodic, yet cryptic lyrics. Somehow each album found a way to relate to that stage of my life and what I was going through. That’s the unique quality in Taylor, that I’m unable to find in other artists. Taylor takes her life experiences and can relate those moments with her fans, no matter what situation they might be going through and makes them feel like they aren’t alone. Whether someone is head over heels in their relationship, dealing with a toxic breakup, battling through unfaithful friends or celebrating momentous occasions she always found a way to speak to us. No song or album has ever disappointed, only evolved into something new and unexpected.

I am not only a fan of Taylor’s devotion to her music and her abilities to turn thoughts and words into an entire harmonious album. Or how she can take a song and turn it into a visual orchestrated performance with every detail planned, leaving you in absolute awe. I have more importantly stayed a fan throughout her metamorphosis because of how she presents herself not only as an artist but as a person. She uses her music to explain her experiences, but she still holds herself to a standard where she can stay true to herself and true to her fans. Anyone can see that she genuinely cares about us fans and how we experience her music right alongside of her. It makes Taylor excited to see how excited we are and knowing that makes us love her even more.

Whether I was blasting her albums in my car, dancing and singing her lyrics in Milwaukee at the Speak Now tour or Chicago for the Reputation Tour I always felt like she was sharing her music with just me, her fan. I can’t wait for this next album and to see what moments and experiences unfold. To see where she is at in her life and what she is willing to share with us. @taylorswift truly is an inspirational artist and woman and I am proud to consider myself a fan of someone who is willing to be raw, silly, honest and unequivocally themselves.

Thank for always being you,

Love Courtney ❤️🦋🐣

Dearest Taylor,

I’ve been a fan of yours from the first moment I heard Tim McGraw on country radio in 2006. From that moment, you had quickly become one of my favourites; my favourite to listen to, my favourite to dance to, to sing to, to cry to and even read (your tour blogs were everything). It wasn’t just your music that caught my attention. Taylor, you didn’t make me feel alone when I would come home from school after getting picked on.

You first came to Perth, Australia during your Speak Now tour and although I was dying to go, my obligations were to attend my cousins wedding; I never really got over the fact I missed the concert and it was then i told myself that I would do everything in my power to not miss another concert of yours again. It was the Red tour that my life changed forever. I attended the concert with my sister (who wasn’t a fan but by the end of the concert she was a swiftie) and during All Too Well, my sister turned to me and promised me that going to your shows was going to be our tradition. But it was when I got extremely sick with two rare heart conditions in 2014, your music had become more of a survival mechanism than just a few life-changing albums. Not knowing what was going to happen to my life was pushing me to the point of giving up and breaking apart every single day but it was because of your music and my family, I got through each day.

The people you expect to fix you when you’re sick are doctors, but when they didn’t have answers how to make me better, I turned to music for emotional support. Each morning I would wake up in my hospital bed, I’d choose an album to listen to for the day; if I was having a good day, I chose something along the lines of Taylor Swift or Speak Now, and if I needed something to get me through a hard day, I would choose Fearless or Red. There was something about listening to your songs that touched me to my core, that gave me strength to get through whatever I was feeling that day. It was hard lying in a hospital bed at 24 years old, watching all your friends have the time of their lives through Instagram and Snapchat but it was okay, because I had your songs singing me to sleep through my headphones every night.

Later that year, on October 27th - my 25th birthday, and yes I was born 1989- an album called 1989 was released. To me, this album was a sign that I was meant to keep fighting just when I was about to give up in my darkest days. The release of 1989 was the best birthday gift anyone could have got me because it was a gift of strength. That year and the following three years, were the worst years of my life; I was in and out of hospital constantly (and when I say constantly, I mean every couple of weeks and I would have to stay in for at least two weeks at a time). You weren’t coming to Perth for your 1989 tour and remembering how I felt not going to the Speak Now tour, I knew I had to book a flight out to the closest city that you were going to play. I was discharged from hospital two days before catching my flight to Melbourne with my sister and was back In hospital two days after I came back, but it was worth every moment. When reputation came out, I was slowly getting better. I was in hospital less and less. As You were rebuilding your reputation, I was rebuilding my health. My sister and I attended the Rep tour in Perth and it was the first concert I could dance through from beginning to end without getting tired. Today, I haven’t been in hospital for a year. I am stable but my life is forever changed with the heart conditions. It’s because of your music, Taylor, that I have come out stronger than ever. So thank you because without your songs, or you, I don’t know where I’d be. - Kikki Suleski

@theswiftchicks

So I’ve been a fan for 12 years now, and I really want to say thank you. Thank you Taylor, for every heartbreak, happy time or any memory I have ever had that your music either helped me get through something or just make me happy. I’ve had a very rough time growing up with bullies and struggling with my weight, but when I found your music I found my escape from all that. I would literally go on the bus on the way home from school and just listen to all your music until I forgot about all the terrible things that were happening. Even when I was in a very mentally abusive and sometimes physical relationship, I had your music to escape to. When I finally got strong enough I got away from all the toxic people in my life, I lost 100lbs and met the love of my life who now I share two beautiful healthy boys with. I still had your music to listen to and share with them. Thank you for always creating such beautiful, powerful and meaning songs that I go back to when I’m sad or happy. You create songs for all of us swifties to make our own soundtrack to our lives. I can’t wait for this next chapter!! I will always look up to you and go to your music to pick me up. I love you Taylor and again thank you. 💗🦋1️⃣3️⃣

Here’s a lovely little note to @taylorswift and how much you mean to me, how much you improved, mimicked, celebrated life with me. Here’s to 13 more years (and probably many more) 💕 @taylornation @theswiftchicks

Our Taylor Swift Origin Story.

@growinguptswizzle, @theswiftchicks

Florida

The first time I heard the name Taylor Swift, she was on tour with Tim McGraw way back in 2007. I had a group of friends who met Taylor outside of the show and they could not stop raving about how lovely this “up and coming artist” was. I was intrigued. From that point on I followed Taylor’s career with excitement for her passion of songwriting and connecting with her audience.

🐈 🐈

Taylor released “The Best Day” the year I became pregnant with my first child. I connected with it on a deep level as a newly pregnant mother and played it every single day leading up to the birth of my daughter, Serenity. Throughout that transitional first year as a parent, I played “The Best Day” anytime Serenity would cry, struggle with sleep, or simply when we wanted to dance around the living room together. It became our anthem, and thus began my daughter’s love of Taylor, mimicking my own. As silly as it sounds, my daughter began to see herself in Taylor who had the same head full of ringlets, something she didn’t see much of in our community.

🐈 🐈

🐈 🐈

Fast forward to the Red tour. My daughter was three years old and I struggled with the decision of bringing her to her first concert at such a young age. I knew she would lose her mind to see “Tay Tay,” so the day before the tour stop in our local city I bought some tickets, some ear plugs, and we were on our way. It was my first concert as well, making it all the more special!

🐈 🐈

🐈 🐈

Since that very first concert, attending Taylor’s tours has become a tradition for us. Whether we are in a State of Grace at the Red Tour, living our Wildest Dreams at the 1989 World Tour, or Dancing With Our Hands Tied at the Reputation tour, we never miss a show! For every era we think long and hard about our costumes, trying to come up with a concept no one else does. So far I think we’ve achieved that with our Meredith and Olivia costumes, and our Tswizzle costumes! We upload reaction videos to YouTube, we buy every magazine Taylor graces the cover of, and we blast each new single on repeat upon release, and long after. Fun fact, we both took up piano lessons because of Taylor! At 9 years old and 29 years old, we are proof that Taylor’s influence spans decades!

🐈 🐈

Taylor and her music have become a beautiful common ground that we bond over, and we hope to meet her one day and tell her how big of a blessing she has been in our lives and our relationship!
