Dear Taylor<3

I don't know if you'll ever get this but I'm writing this with all my heart. You mean so much to me. Your music has impacted me so much, I can't even begin to explain it. I have been a fan since I first saw your "You Belong to Me" music video and felt like I could relate to the girl you were portraying.

During the worst period of my life, you released Folklore and it actually felt like my stars aligned because it was such perfect timing. The universe knew that was exactly what I needed at the moment. I can't even express how much that album means to me. I mean it when I say you have saved me. During the darkest times, I found solace in your music. Mirrorball, This is Me Trying, and Exile all have imprinted themselves on me. They are a part of me.

Sometimes I get this overwhelming breeze of sadness when I think about how I'll never be able to tell you how much I love you and how much your music has moved me. How much it makes me feel alive when I listen to them, how much it gives me hope to live and not give up on myself, and how it just makes me feel emotions even when I'm numb.

I have cried to your songs, danced to them, and had a midnight concert in my room with them, but most of all I have found myself in them. Your music is not just a part of my life, it's what makes me who I am.

I have so much love for you in my heart and I always dream about the day I will be able to meet you and tell you how much you have influenced and changed the trajectory of my life. There's a feeling of nostalgia in your voice, it's almost deja vu, even with your new songs and vault songs. There's this instant feeling that I'm at home and that I am somebody who feels a lot.

It makes me so proud when I see you breaking records, your success feels so personal it's like my own celebration. You don't know me, yet I feel like I know you. I still get excited and gushy when they play "Love Story" in nightclubs. My heart still beats fast when I watch the Reputation Stadium Tour.

Your music has this euphoric ability to transport me to different parts of my life. It's a feeling I will always cherish every time I experience it.

2023 had been a year of trying to find myself and I don't have a handful of moments of happiness in that year but one moment I can recall is going to watch the Eras movie in theaters and it made me feel so alive. I know it sounds stupid and sappy but the fact that I felt something is important itself because I had been numb for the longest time in 2023. I can still remember how tears swelled up immediately as you said "It's been a long time coming home" because it's true! It had been a long time coming home. I felt like I was at home and these small moments in life are what makes it worth living. Those 3 hours of my life felt like I belonged in this world and that I was alive.

It's insane how much your music has changed me and some people will never understand what I mean when I credit your music for changing my life. But it's true because I feel my heart swell when I'm listening to your music while walking back home from uni. I feel my heart beat faster when I get that dopamine rush which gives me chills.

Your growth, authenticity, and unwavering dedication to your art have always inspired me. I am so proud of you for standing up for yourself and rising from the ashes after the worst time of your life. It's so inspiring because if you could go through so much, then I can too. I just know the baby version of Taylor would be so proud of how much you have achieved.

Thank you for sharing your incredible gift with the world, your music has been a true friend in my life, a companion through thick and thin. Your talent, your grace, and your love for the craft are awe-inspiring. Please continue to create music the way you do and remain true to yourself. You have touched so many lives, including mine.

I may never get the luxury to meet you Tay, but oh god do I always wish you could get to know how much you are loved and that even if you don't know me, I will always have your back.

You save me. every. single. day.

I don't know how it's possible to have so much love in my heart for somebody I have never met, but I do. I'm so glad you exist and that I exist at the same time as you.

I eagerly await every new chapter in your journey. I'm rooting for you Tay! You've made an indelible mark on my life and for that, I am eternally grateful.

I am so proud of you!

With so much love,

the mirrorball girlie <3
