A story about Taylor Swift
I realise I haven't posted on here for so long that I've forgotten how to write long form entries. My last few entries were a bit curt for DW, especially the ones where I was copying bleets from bluesky.
I've been telling the story about how I got into Taylor Swift a lot lately, so I thought I might as well record this here.
My colleague invited me to her wedding, where she had a video about the gatecrash at her house. Part of the tradition of fetching the bride over here is the gatecrash, where the groom has to prove his worth to the bride's family and bridesmaids before he's allowed to take the bride away. This particular wedding had one of the tasks for the groom to sing the bride's favourite song at the time - Our Song by Taylor Swift. The groom hadn't paid enough attention to know the lyrics, but he was rather quick thinking. Since Our Song was about Taylor Swift and things about her dates that she would put into a song, he wrote some lyrics on the fly using the same chords about the things about his dates with the bride.
While the happy ending to that story is that the groom successfully charmed the bride for her to agree he passed the task, this is more of a prelude to my story. Thanks to that video, I was tempted to look up the original version of Our Song. Taylor Swift did a good job, but it was too cutesy for me. I went to check out the rest of her Youtube channel...
Thanks to the wedding happening around the time of the release of Fearless, I found the songs Tim McGraw and Love Story. Both blew me away and cemented me as a fan. Fearless was one of the albums I loaded up on my then mp3 player and played the tracks of repeatedly. I've been a fan ever since.
I probably will elaborate on the other entries I made about Taylor Swift at some point. I'm also toying with some entries about my latest fic.
