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.

(01:35):
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

Taylor Swift is really kind andcaring.

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

This shows just how much shecares about her fans.
She has inspired me to writesongs and I have the courage to
start singing and acting indrama because she was never
afraid to show who she was.
That's why I am a true TaylorSwiftie.

(02:17):
I recently joined the summerdrama class in my local middle
school.
The play is High School Musicalwhich includes a lot of singing
and dancing.
I'm excited to learn more aboutacting and how to sing really
good, because Taylor Swift wasalso a young girl when she
started singing.
I will be starting drama classnext week and the play will be

(02:38):
performed in the beginning ofAugust.
Because I'm such a big Swiftie,I don't only listen to her on
Apple Music.
I recently got a record playerfor Christmas and now I have two
of her albums on vinyl.
The album 1989, which was theyear she was born, and the album
