Here's what Taylor Swift has taught us about love


 

Check these out, too...

Our two-time cover girl Taylor Swift has shared some valuable love lessons with us throughout the years. Our faves? To put your friends before fellas and take all kinds of compliments.

 

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we decided to jam out to some of Swifty’s fearless songs for more relationship inspiration. What did we find? Ten lovely lyrics that are always good to keep in mind.

 

Relationships require effort

“This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess”—Love Story

 

Be supportive

“The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry

But I'll hold you through the night until you smile”—Jump then Fall

 

Stay true to yourself

“Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in.

So shame on me now...”—I Knew You Were Trouble

 

Feel free

“I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress

Fearless”—Fearless

 

Take a chance

“Don't be afraid to

Jump then fall”—Jump then Fall

 

Know when to call it quits

“You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together”—We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

 

Say sorry

“So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you saying, ‘I'm sorry for that night.’

And I go back to December all the time.

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine”—Back to December

 

Don’t scheme

“But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know

Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go”—Better than Revenge

 

Be flexible

“People are people,

And sometimes we change our minds.”—Breathe

 

Express yourself

“If you only knew me

We could be a beautiful

Miracle,

Unbelievable

Instead of just invisible.”—Invisible

So I have a complicated life with my crush. I've liked him for about a year now. The complications are:
1. He's as close to blood relative as you can get without being one.
2.He has a girlfriend.
3.I'm really shy around him.
So I really want to know how to make it less awkward/complicated between us. It doesn't even have to be asking him out?

 

hey! all you have to do is approach him as you would a friend. How do you talk to your friends? what do you guys talk about? just be yourself, and maybe ask him like what movies he like or what music. just see what things y'all have to talk about in common Smile

The main love advice I take from Taylor Swift's songs is to not let other people get in the way of your relationship.

First of all, Taylor Swift is my all time favorite singer and I LOVE all of her music..so I'm not saying this to be mean at all. But honestly, Taylor is not the best role model in terms of relationships. She treats dating like a hobby and sometimes it seems like she only goes out with guys to create new material for her songs (although I know that's not true). I also find it impressive that so many guys have had the guts to date her knowing that they have a one in a million chance of being in a lasting relationship with her and that she is going to publicize the break up and broadcast all of their flaws through a song.
Again I love her songs but it would be refreshing to hear the guys she's gone out with sides of the story sometimes.
I suppose there are some lessons to learn from her though..since nothing has worked out for her I guess just do the opposite :p

I write songs about my breakups, loves, and my life. Just like Taylor Swift. Everyone thinks that I will be the next Taylor and I have to agree. Its my dream. I am about to start recording but I need help with exposure. I already have promises of recording. Any ideas for getting exposure please?!? Thanks!
