Guilty Pleasures

            Eww, you like Justin Bieber? Lady Gaga? Taylor Swift? Gross. I like music no one else knows that shows that I have a super creative personality. I'm sorry, but I'm not one of those people. While some of my music is really weird stuff mostly no one has heard of (most of which I get from my sister), and I'm hardly the person to like T-Swift music, and I would love to say that I hate her...I just can't! I think everyone  has that one artist, band, TV show, or movie that they know that they probably shouldn't like, or that they feel embarrassed for enjoying, and Taylor Swift is mine.
           Taylor Swift is one of those artists who's beat down upon a lot for not being a good singer live. Writing all of her songs about passed boyfriends. Being a boring, country-impersonating, pop singer. Well I'm sorry to all of the extremely deep and talented artists out there...but I love Taylor Swift. The two things I love most about her music is 1. she writes it herself (unlike most artists in today's world), and that most of her songs tell absolutely  adorable stories.
            At first I tried to hate her. The first song I heard by her was "You Belong With Me" and I hated it because the music video made out the marching band to be the supreme geeks. But then I couldn't get the song out of my head, and eventually I found myself singing it all the time. Then the song "Love Story" put the question of hating her to rest. Adorable story lines. Very fun to sing along to songs. What girl could really hate her?
            My sister agrees with me on this prospect. She has possibly the most unique sense in music of anyone I know. But among some of her most played songs of all time lies "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga. She'll always say she wishes she didn't love Lady Gaga, but she just does. Lady Gaga is her guilty pleasure artist, and Taylor Swift is mine.
             My message: don't be ashamed of anything you're interested in. Sing out loud the lines you love. Whether it's "Ra ra ah ah ah, ro ma ro ma ma, ga ga ooh la la, want your bad romance", "Baby baby baby ooooh, like baby baby baby ooooh", or even "Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone, I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, it's a love story baby just say yes." Love what you want and don't worry about whether or not it's cool to love it.
