Taylor "Dissing Harry At The Grammys"

Fear me, for I am back, and turning this blog into a totally Taylor-dedicated blog, thank you very much.
But back to my point, the title of this post -


I know I'm a couple of days late, but this needs so much clarification that I couldn't pass it up. You guys need to sit down and listen up. Now, say it with me; Taylor Swift was not dissing Harry effing Styles

Taylor Swift was not dissing Harry effing Styles

Now that you have it in your head, I'd like to explain why - two simple reasons.

One: I Knew You Were Trouble was never meant for Harry in the first place.
This song was written for, most likely, Jake Gyllenhaal. In fact, I don't think any songs in Red were written for Harry at all. Also, I would appreciate it if people stopped with "Wrong Direction" and "He Wasn't My Style Jokes". Those were months ago and they are getting very annoying because everyone is just copying each other with the joke and it's extremely unoriginal.

Two: Harry Styles is not the only man in the world with a (supposed) British accent.

Yeah, just a heads up. And it just so happens that Jake Gyllenhaal fits the bill for this diss, because he too has a British-y accent. That's two for Jake already. The diss was not meant for your favourite because the song was never directed to him in the first place. Calm yo' tits. She's 23, turning 24 this year. She knows what's she doing and you have no reason to give her hate because of your false assumptions. 

Now say it with me;
Haylor is over 
We don't know who broke whose hearts 
The Grammy diss was not meant for my favourite 
I should leave Taylor alone because she did not offend me personally or offend my idol 

And in other news;
"Taylor Swift is a slut" 

"Taylor Swift only writes songs about guys"
Here, let me help you.
A Place In This World. - a song describing how she feels about her life.
Tied Together With A Smile. - a song written for a friend who was suffering from bulimia.
Mary's Song. - a song written about a couple, her neighbours.
Fifteen. - a song written about being fifteen and the fears and wonders of it. (also the music vid is perf)
Breathe. - a song about having to say goodbye.
The Best Day. - a song dedicated to her mom.
Change. - a song about growing up and changing.
Mean. - a song about forgetting the mean people because you're going to be so much more. (won two grammys btw.)
Speak Now. - a song telling her best friend to speak up because her (friend's) ex-boyfriend was getting married to a mean girl (she was isolating him from his family and friends etc.)
Never Grow Up. - if you don't cry listening to this, you have no feelings.
Better Than Revenge. - a song dedicated not dedicated to a male and therefore counts.
Innocent.
Long Live. - a song dedicated to her fans. Best song ever.
Safe And Sound. - a song written for The Hunger Games.
Ronan. - a song written for a 4-year-old boy that lost his life to cancer. All proceeds went to charity.
Eyes Open.
22. - a song written about being 22 and living in the moment.
Stay Stay Stay. - technically not written about a boy. It's a song written about what she thinks would be a perfect relationship.
The Lucky One. - written about (what seems like) Joni Mitchell.
Starlight. - a song written about Ethel Kennedy, inspired by a picture in the Kennedy house.
And many more.

In addition, Taylor has had 15 Grammy nominations, and has won 7. S E V E N. Her Grammys include -
Fearless - Album Of The Year
Fearless - Best Country Album
White Horse - Best Female Country Vocal Performance
White Horse - Best Country Song [2010]
Mean - Best Country Solo Performance
Mean - Best Country Song [2012]
Safe And Sound - Best Song Written for Visual Media

Other songs that have nominated for Grammys are You Belong With Me (3 nominations), Breathe, Speak Now (the album), We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Safe And Sound and she was nominated for Best New Artist back in 2008.

So, seriously, stop. She's more than just "mentally stuck in middle school". She's a growing woman with a more-than-successful career and records in Guinness. She sold out Madison Square Garden in 59.6 seconds.She donates regularly to charities (and has even been named most charitable celebrity of 2012) and she's dated an adequate number of people. Her words have helped millions so please think before you speak of her. There are so many people that idolize her and would be crushed to see her being hated on just because she dated a member of One Direction.

She's more than an ex-girlfriend of your favourite. She is Taylor Alison Swift and she is a queen.

Heartbreaking Presents

So last week my dad got a purple bag for my mother.

 It was really sudden and out of the blue. Purple is my mom's favourite colour. My mom and dad definitely aren't as close as I guess they were when he first proposed to her, and they definitely aren't lovey-dovey anymore, so I thought it was really sweet that my dad got her a little cute bag in her favourite colour.

 My mom got home that night and I showed it to her. She took one glance at it and asked if the laptop could fit in it (since that would be really convenient), but I told her it couldn't. It was too small.

 And that was the end of it.

 So tonight, I was sitting on the couch on my laptop, and my dad was watching television. Mom and my brother had gone to buy dinner, and it was just the two of us. Then he turned to me and asked if I could get the plastic bag that was under the table in the guest room. So I went and got it. And inside was the purple bag, gathering dust.

 He took it from me, sighed, and turned it here and there to look at it again.

 What broke my heart was when I saw "merry x'mas" handwritten on the price tag. My dad has cataract right now and it takes a lot of effort to read or write. (His operation is in February.) He opened the zips here and there, so I asked, "well, what did she say about the bag?"

 He replied, after another sigh, "nothing. I'm thinking of giving it to someone else."

 So I kept quiet and he put the bag on the other side of the room and went back to watching tennis. And that was that. And my mom and brother came home with dinner, and that was that.

The Twitter War So Far


Directioners on Twitter:
 "Haylor Swyles is a vaginal disease"
 Death threats to Taylor for dating Harry
 Photoshopped pictures implicating Taylor
 "Taylor called Niall a fat, ugly blonde pig"
 "Taylor said that Harry's part in Little Things is about her" (COULD YOU BE MORE STUPID HONESTLY IF YOU BELIEVE THIS)
 False rumous spread about Taylor
 #F*ckYouTaylorFromDirectioners
 #DirectionersDeserveCancer because the only reason this was trending was because you Directioners kept saying how utterly disgusting it was
 #DirectionersRespectHaylor (Thank you to people who tweeted that. Bless your souls.)
 #HarryIsHappierWithLouis
 #LouisIsPrettierThanTaylor (We all know what you're doing there.)
 #LouisHasABetterAssThanTaylor
 #ThingsBiggerThanTaylorsBoobs
 #WhereIsHarry
 "#whereisharry getting lost in Taylor's camel toe"

 Swifties on Twitter:
 #F*ckYouHarryFromSwifties (in response)
 #TaylorIsAbsolutelyPerfect
 #TaylorIsMoreFearlessThanHaters
 #HappyBirthdayLouisFromSwifties
 #SwiftiesRespectDirectioners (which of course never trended very well, but definitely did better than #DirectionersRespectSwifties, which only 4 people tweeted about.)

Back with Haylor

Since I last left off, Harry and Austin (Taylor's brother) have confirmed Haylor, Harry and Taylor have been spotted in Utah skiing together, and more shitstorms (as Dan would call them) have appeared.

 So, to all who are hating on Taylor...

 1. "For being a whore/having 632953958279 boyfriends/more boyfriends than The Wanted has fans/changing boyfriends like she changes clothes/lipstick."

 First of all, I doubt any members of #TWFanmily are going to stand up for you who claim so now. Thank you for constantly managing to hate on Taylor and The Wanted at the same time, those of you. Here's an apple for thinking you have sass to bring in The Wanted like that.


 Second of all, as I feel the need to bring in so many times, Taylor has had six boyfriends. Six. Do you change your clothes six times in seven years? I don't think so.

 2. "For hopping from one boyfriend to another."

 Actually, she was single for the periods of 9 months between Joe and Taylor L., 7 months between John and Jake, and 1 and a half years between Jake and Conor. Bless you.

 3. "Because she'll write a song after she and Harry break up."

 You must be new.

 4. "Because she is using Harry for his fame."

 Yes, the lady with 129 awards, 6 Grammys, 4 platinum selling albums, 22+ million Swifties, her own perfume brand, a career 7 years long, the youngest ever lady to be Billboard's Woman Of The Year, is using Harry because he has the attention of millions of girls aged underaged to 35 who all want to marry him. Sure.

 Bless you all.

Christmas cards!

Hello again, Internet! I've come to update you on my life progress.

 As all of you should know, Christmas is coming up in exactly a week (am I supposed to call it holiday season for you Americans because that's what I heard it was). I have some really nice friends (two of them) too, and these really nice friends decided that since Christmas holiday season Christmas was coming up (and because 'tis the season to be jolly) that it would be nice of them to send Christmas cards!

 So one showed up at my doorstep last Friday and it was staring at me in its orange envelope on my bed for 12 hours before I decided that the pain was too intense...and that I just had to be a nice person to write back.

 It went basically like this:

 Dad: Kirstin, there's a letter for you!
 Me: Oh really? [takes letter] Oh, it's from Sophia! How nice.
 Letter: Hello!
 Me: Hello, letter!
 Me: [puts letter on bed]
 Me: [proceeds to be on the laptop for the next 12 hours]
 Letter:
 Me:
 Letter:
 Me:
 Letter:
 Me: ...
 Me: I should write back, shouldn't I?
 Me: I mean
 Me: It's like
 Me: ...manners.
 Letter: [silent nodding of approval]

 So I spent the next few days going to Popular, buying 25 envelopes and a6 pieces of paper (don't even get me started on how paranoid I was mass buying with only thirty dollars in my wallet), coming home and working on my Christmas cards.

 Just kidding. I only started at noon today and it's Tuesday. (Procrastinator!)

 So far my progress in the last five hours has been minimal. I've split the 25 cards-to-be-made between my classmates and church mates - 12 cards for my classmates, 13 for my church mates. I've got to get stamps and mail my 12 cards by Wednesday so that they can get it by the end of the week - today's Tuesday and I've only finished 5. ("[looks me in the eyes] Good job" "sniff, sniff, thank you, that means so much to me you don't even know")

 But...

 When they are done, they are going to be legen...wait for it...

 DARY!

 Ciao. x

In conclusion

Hello to all of you bitching about Haylor. I have one picture that summarizes all my feelings and I feel that for the sake of your brain and everyone around you, you should read it.

 First, stop with the whiny bitching. 


And now you may read this;


 Everything I feel and have talked about in long-winded sentences has been summarized in to one picture. Props to the person who made this. Thank you for enlightening everyone.

 Peace out. x

More Haylor Drama

To update you on the Swifties/Directioners drama, the picture below got viral and started the (not even going to censor because the trend is sick in itself) #FuckYouTaylorFromDirectioners. I'm glad they had enough guts to leave who they were.


 Thank you for that, Niall.

 And of course, Swifties retaliated, making the #FuckYouHarryFromSwifties. (Which makes no sense to me because the two of them did nothing wrong and their names are just an indirect way of saying "screw you Directioners" because they are the real problem here.)

 I'm sorry, but since your fandom was nice enough to claim that the Directioners as a whole send the message across (because you are united and you are the best fandom in the world!), why don't you ask them why everyone's pointing to everyone fandom-wise?

 This is the photo in question;


 My initial reaction was just;


 To the person who made this - just stahp. You are worse than the troll account that started #DirectionersDeserveCancer, because you're doing mean things and not taking responsibility for your actions. Props to you for this. Thank you for creating more misconceptions and dramas. (Btw, personally, your taste in colour is scary. You're on the Colour Police's wanted list now.)

 This photo got viral (quite quickly of course, because everyone's just trying to find fault in this relationship) and thus the trend #FuckYouTaylorFrom/ByDirectioners (I'm glad the grammar got corrected along the way) was born.

 Okay, these are my problems with the photo;
 1. This photo is so obviously Directioner-borne, with poor colour taste and venomous rage, the kind of rage that leads to false rumours.

 Excuse me, but you are not finding the faults in this relationship - you are finding faults in Taylor herself. You are being a mean, biased shit. So why should what you say we taken seriously? Besides, it's been reported multiple times that Directioners are livid over this relationship. Any one of them would have enough reason to be this desperate. If anything, if you're going to find faults, you should look at the people who are sending Taylor death treats (because really, who ever sends Harry death threats?) and calling "Haylor Swyles" a vaginal disease. 

 2. The facts in this photo are unreliable in themselves.

 Do you have proof that all these happened? Captain Obvious would be more appreciated here than some shrivelled little demon concocting lies certain people would be desperate/naive enough to believe in her head.  These lies are hardly believable as truths.

 [reads all the points in order] No evidence...

 [Point 2.] Exhibit half (because I decided to make this halfway through all the points): Interviews?

 Come on. These boys joke about their relationship. They have had it brought up and the talk about it. Liam's said that Harry would be the best birthday present for Taylor. I don't keep track of their interviews, but I know this is a light subject with them.

 And even if they did dislike Haylor, would they be stupid enough to show all of you? It's like you're desperately trying to bring out the dark side of people that isn't there. Something a bit like a hypochondriac, but afflicted by conscious choice.

 ["May we have the lovely miss Point number 3 step up on stage please?"] Exhibit A: Simon Cowell aka Uncle Si supports the Haylor relationship.

 He's been quoted, and you can find it in this Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ2W9dURL7E. After saying something like that, do you really think he'd take back his words? Simon Cowell is man with pride. He wouldn't contradict himself like that by saying that Taylor isn't good for Hary's career, because that would indirectly imply that he was wrong when he said "I think they are good together."

 So try again. Also, no evidence.

Misreading on my part, I'm sorry. "Simon is worried about Harry's career." That's it? You bring in the quote-on-quote 'fact' that he's worried, put it in this picture and expect people to assume that he is worried because of Taylor? Good going, anon. Have an virtual apple. Thrown at your head. 

 [Point number 4.] Exhibit B: Taylor never tweeted that.

 I'll be simple and straightforward with you - that whole thing never happened. You'd be desperate enough to pull that out and point a finger at her, wouldn't you? Get real! Unlike some of you, Taylor's twitter isn't her channel of inner-thought-releasing. You obviously do not know how non-personal her account is now. She barely uses it, unless it's to make an announcement or put in her two-cents of something big that happened or anything along those lines.

 So for Taylor to post "fuck you Directioners" and then delete it way after? People, please. She's not that stupid in the first place. And also, she's a celebrity and they have lives so, really...


Your evidence is here;


  Credit to ohsoswiftly.tumblr.com for that answer. Power to you, girl. If you go to her tumblr and look into it, you'll find it. Also, mobile notifications do exist and the fact that there are Swifties out there who would have her on their mobile notifications isn't surprising. So good luck trying to sniff out any lie there.

 [Point 5.] I don't even have an exhibit for that. That is an irrelevant fact. Everyone, celebrity or not, loses and gains followers every now and then. Doesn't mean anything, really. This isn't even big enough to warrant an exhibit. Power to you for trying, though. Have another virtual apple.

 [Point 6.] Also incredibly useless. I take it you don't write argumentative essays or debate very much? 

 [Point 7.] Back to point 4. When was the last time she actually did follow someone? Just because here we have to update our Facebook every time we go in and out of a relationship, doesn't mean celebs like them have time for that. She barely even uses Twitter. She probably doesn't even know how much all of us use it (to bullshit). It's like saying I'm dating this guy. He has a Friendster. I have a Friendster. He uses it a lot and tried to add me as a friend but I never accepted it because I barely touched it at all.

 [Point 8.] Good grief. There ARE pictures with him smiling, so I don't even understand. Maybe they just don't like paparazzi following their every move. It can get quite annoying, you know (which you don't). Can pictures (that can say many different things - photography is an art, isn't it?) be interpreted by biased teenagers and have their interpretations taken seriously? I...don't think so.

 [reading on] Irrelevant and useless, irrelevant and useless, and without proof. Sorry. Stop trying.

 Now I will go to sleep and pray that everyone involved would just grow up and learn to research before you open your damn mouths. You have Google a click away, and with good reason. Use it.

 If you've read this far and understood everything, props to you. I feel so strongly about this because lack of research is a very common pet peeve in GoodReads that I've developed. My current aspiration is to wipe the world of ignorant people one by one (however you wish to interpret that).




 I sincerely wish you a good night.
