Life of a T Swift Die Hard Fan

Before, I was just a simple grade conscious girl with nothing in mind but to attain my desired grades. I
was just focused with that straight line of 9's laid beautifully on my report card. My life was okay,
monochromatic but still, I'm content with it. But! All of that was ruined that one fateful day in 5th grade.

The moment that catchy intro of Blank Space played on the radio, that annoying intro that played over
and over in my head like a broken record (sing it). I immediately knew, I was doomed. It was like a highly
contagious disease that spread like wildfire in my school. My friends, my classmates were all devoured
by it! No one was spared by its mercy. And of course, I was one of them.

That one line, "I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream" consumed every bit of me and I tell you, that
line was real alright. Nightmare dressed like a daydream! In every single day of my life after its release, it
haunted me. In my sleep, in the shower, at class! It doesn't even help that my friend had this notebook
with Blank Space's lyrics written on it. And you know what happened next. We sang it, in chorus, with
our classmates.

That was the dreadful day I started fangirling over Taylor Swift. And for the record, I never really cared
about famous icons that time, actresses, actors, singers. I. Don't. Care. I only cared about my grades! But
something about Taylor Swift made me care. It was an annoying feeling, I didn't like it. But there I was,
arguing over my friend who was a 1D fan. She claimed that 1D was greater than Taylor and of course I
didn't just stand there and leave without a fight! I was so ready to have our friendship over but
thankfully we managed to resolve it quickly.

When 1989's era was at its peak, it didn't let me have peaceful days. I was always enclosed in my little
bubble of Blank Space, Out Of The Woods, Shake it Off, Wildest Dreams and New Romantics on repeat.
Sang it with my made up lyrics 'cause I was a caveman then, I didn't have a phone.

So when all that craze died down, and the Shake it Off hype faded, so was my obsession over Taylor
Swift. For a few years, I came back to the former lifestyle of mine. Grade conscious, whining over a line
of 8, cried over a tied rank. Haven't got over about that till now actually.
But I knew that Taylor Swift wouldn't just let me live in peace. 2016. Reputation. Look What You Made
Me Do. Like the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombing. Wiped out. It was like Blank Space all over again. Just
intensified. Why does she always have a catchy line in every hit song? "I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't
come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, 'cause she's dead!" What? She's dead? No, I died that day. That
iconic music video made sure that everyone wouldn't be able to breathe after that.

The first time, I managed to escape from Taylor's Tayvoodoo but not this time. I was charmed, cursed to
stan Taylor for the rest of my life. I officially became a part of her legion, the Swifties. There I was,
downloading all her songs from debut to present. Sharing it to my friends. I was like the Swiftie drug lord
in our section that spread Tay's addicting songs. We often have a singing session despite our cracked
voices, just singing at the top of our lungs like we were high with ecstasy.

I thought I couldn't have it worse than that but nowadays, I have come to the point that whenever I see
any Taylor appearance in interviews, performances and such, I would just cry. Her Reputation
performances, I cry, her Lover interview I cry, her Miss Americana film, I cried a river. I couldn't even
shower without a Taylor Swift song playing on the background!

She changed my life. Then, I was just conscious about my grades, now I care about Taylor too. And I
would die for her in secret. From monochrome to polychrome. She showed me colors I knew I can't see
with anyone else. Before, I just wanted straight A's, now I want her albums and merches too. Then, I
only cared about my happiness, and now my sole wish for her is to be happy with her... lover.

I was self-centered but because of her I learned to be selfless. I transitioned to maturity just by the
lessons I learned from her. Because of her, I realized that there is more to it in life rather than devoting
myself to school only. My triumph doesn't come from academic achievements but from what good I do
to others. It is only then that life becomes fulfilling. And this is my life as a die hard Taylor Swift fan.
