If you are a Swiftie or you wantto become one, this is the
perfect podcast episode for you!Also, I really hope Taylor
Swift hears this.
Taylor Swift's music helps meget in a good mood when I'm not
having such a good day.
Her songs are divided intoalbums, which can represent
(01:14):
which mood I feel or what mood Iwould like to feel.
For example, Evermore is moreof a soft, warm album, so if I
want to feel in a calmer mood,that's a really good album for
that.
So I love how she makes songsthat can change our moods.

Taylor Swift is so inspirational! She started from singing at
home, to the national anthem, atsports events, to signing her
first record deal at the age of15! And now she's an
international singer at 34 yearsold.
She's an amazing person to lookup to because all that she has
accomplished at such a young age.
She makes me feel like I can doanything I set my mind to.
Taylor Swift is really kind andcaring.

She donated $10,000 to a12-year-old fan to help her

start singing and acting indrama because she was never
afraid to show who she was.
That's why I am a true TaylorSwiftie.
