Taylor Swift’s Swift Rise Inspires Me

Taylor Swift (@TaylorSwift13) is an amazing, young country music superstar that has already achieved everything and more that she has wanted, and she is only 20!

From a young age, she knew that she wanted to be a country singer, and her parents supported her endeavors 110%. With her curly blonde locks, genuine heart, beautiful voice, and innocent look, she quickly found her way into Nashville and won over the hearts of producers and fans alike.

One of my favorite quotes of Taylor’s was in an interview she had with USA Today, “I’m so lucky to have these experiences.” In fact, it was such a meaningful and inspiring quote that I actually cut out that article and hung it above my school desk for two years after the article was published.

Taylor is the ideal representation of someone passionate about achieving their dreams with hard work. I can relate to her dreams exactly because I have found my true passion, and love doing it every day, all day. Although she is in the music industry and I am in the Internet marketing industry, our passions still shine in the way we work and discuss our accomplishments with friends and families.

I became a fan of Taylor just after her first album was released, and have been able to relate to a majority of her songs and take to heart all of her award acceptance speeches and YouTube videos displaying her work ethic. She is the idealization of what I want to achieve in my lifetime.

I have goals, dreams, and passions that I know can get me far. I know that great accomplishments can’t come without hard work and dedication, something I definitely have and will practice everyday. I see what I want for my life and am inspired by how Taylor envisioned that as well. I want to live out my dreams, be surrounded by amazingly supportive people, and realize my passions. Ten years from now, I want to look back on my work and see where it has brought me at that point and say to myself, “I feel like I have never ‘worked’ a day in my life.” I want to do what I love each day, and feel that it is not work but doing what I do best and enjoying it at the same time. I have gone a long way towards getting there already, and know that with time and hard work, I WILL be there soon.

Who is your idol or hero and why do they inspire you?

Taylor Swift: A Gen. Y SUPERSTAR!

Taylor Swift is my favorite music artist, so naturally I follow her on Twitter and am a fan of her on Facebook. Since the release of her first album a few years ago, I knew there was something different about T. Swift. The difference is that she has a lot of traits and ambitions that I have. She is young, passionate, creative, independent, and most importantly, follows her dreams.

One article in USA Today reported her saying “I’m so lucky to have these experiences.” She has a great opportunity and has been thankful for it since day one. She thanks her fans after every performance or show, and I think this is why us fans are so passionate about her. Taylor has won over the hearts and minds of so many Generation Y consumers, as she is one herself. She sings about real life situations that any of us can relate to, she is real no matter what, and she acts like a normal 19 year old girl.

Taylor has just about 3 MILLION fans just on her Facebook page and about 2.5 million followers on Twitter. I find Taylor a social phenomenon because she emerged as such a naturally talented singer with such a loyal customer base.
As one of her songs is titled, Taylor is “Fearless”
