Most young celebrities turned drug addicts, teen moms or even alcoholics by the time they are 19. However, there is one star who only gets made fun of for her love life, Taylor Swift. She shows no mercy when it comes to her songs. She openly discusses her love life and breakups thorough the lyrics of her songs and has gained millions of fans from it. Taylor’s dramatic lyrics is what makes her who she is. Love is the focus of most songs in our era. Many artists sing about love because that is what most hormone-full teenagers relate to.

Her message to young girls is that she wants them to know boys are thoughtless, and that they will break your heart. She wants them to know that they may even go crazy after a breakup and that’s okay but it may be too much to go overboard.

  • Taylor's Journey of Personal Growth in The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingslover

    942 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the beginning of the story we see that Taylor is an average teenage girl living with a single mother. She says, “But I stayed in school. I was not the smartest or even particularly outstanding but I was there and staying out of trouble” (3). She was called “Missy” for a lot of her childhood but when she was three she said, “I stamped my foot and told my mother not to call me Marietta but Miss Marietta” (2). From Taylor’s childhood I find that she had a sense of personal pride and could defend herself. These really are great attributes and we really see these attributes grow more and mature throughout the story.

    The issue that Swift is addressing is the fact that there are too many poor children in Dublin and that they are becoming such a huge burden for all the poor mothers or parents of the country. Swift then creates his own solution to the problem. He proposes that all poor children who are around one year of age, be cooked and eaten by the people of Dublin, preferably the poor. With this solution, he argues that it will eventually put an end to the overpopulation of the poor young children and it will satisfy the hunger for all the other people. Crazy right?

  • Music Video Analysis Of 'Crooked Smile'

    J. Cole talks about his insecurities such as his “crooked teeth” and expresses how nobody is perfect (22). Cole also says “I keep my twisted grill, just to show the kids it’s real” (9). Cole is now a famous artist who has the money to fix his crooked teeth but chooses to keep it the way it is to express that “We ain’t picture perfect but we worth the picture still” (10). Cole then transitions his lyrics that will target young women listeners. He expresses how some women are “Killing themselves to find a man that’ll kill for them” (17). Cole then encourages women to not “fix what God already put his paint brush on” (20). On the second verse of the song, Cole says “To all the women with the flaws, know it’s hard my darling” (28). This part of the song aims towards female listeners. Cole says “When I tell you that you’re beautiful you can’t be sure ‘cause he don’t seem to want you back and it’s got you asking” (30-31). This part of the lyrics explains how some women do not believe they are beautiful due to the fact that they cannot find a man. He later says “Take it from a man that loves what you got and baby girl you’re a star, don’t let ‘em tell you you’re not” (33-34). By saying this, he is promoting self-love and inner beauty amongst the generation. However, it did make me question why the lyrics and music video did not match. Although they do not technically match visually, the

    Trina’s intent was to create a song that liberated women from the double standards and stereotypical views placed upon them. Her song however can cause harm to young women that listen to take this song to heart. Instead of liberation, we are moved further down into the hole of degrading and devaluing women.

    Taylor Swift’s debut album contained such songs as Our Song, Teardrops on my Guitar, and Picture to Burn. Swift’s approach is perhaps more country than the Dixie Chicks in a few regards. The banjo is featured throughout the record and more traditional country percussion, as well as more country-style lyrics. However, she stands out with a crystal-clear voice and excellent use of metaphor throughout her songwriting. In terms of musicality, Swift may not be the most gifted, aside from her voice. But in her songs, her personality shines through in a way that pulls light through into your ears, noted especially in her song Love

    The star text of a celebrity can help to decipher their image and transitions they may undergo. In order to better understand these transitions, one must know the definition of a star text. A star text is the sum of everything we affiliate with celebrities, which includes their body of work, promotion, publicity, and audience participation (Jackson, 08/09/16). One must note that “celebrity doesn 't happen because someone has extraordinary qualities – it is discursively constructed by the way in which the person is publicised and meanings about them circulate” (O 'Shaughnessy and Stadler 424).

    After her enormous success with the Hannah Montana series, Cyrus released her first double album named “Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus”. The first disc is a soundtrack of the Hannah Montana series, while the second disc is Cyrus’ debut studio album. At that time she was the biggest teen idol in the world, so it’s understandable that Miley Cyrus songs had a teen pop sound with additional influences from pop rock styles. The lyrics revolve mostly around girl power, teen romance and friendships. Some of the songs from this album, like “Rock Star” and “Old Blue Jeans” discuss Cyrus’ double life on the Hannah Montana series. “See you again” was considered to be the leading single from “Meet Miley Cyrus”, reaching at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was the first song in Cyrus’s career to enter the top ten on the charts. The lead single for the first disc, Hannah Montana 2, was “Nobody’s Perfect”, which wasn’t as successful as “See you again”, reaching at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100.

    Ever since I was in eighth grade, I have been obsessed with Taylor Swift. She has been my role model since I was thirteen. When you look at most singers today, they have to be singing about drugs or alcohol, using vulgar language, or performing half-dressed. You never see Taylor Swift doing anything that she would be ashamed of later in life. On the other hand, she has had many relationships that have lasted short time periods. At least, she is not getting married for 72 days or even 24 hours such Kim Kardashian or Britney Spears. This is why I chose to write a research paper on her.
