✨My name is Taylor and I was born in 1989 ✨

I did!

WELL. SO. I’ve been counting down for months and finally the ‘I Can See You’ video is out. I wrote this video treatment over a year ago and really wanted to play out symbolically how it’s felt for me to have the fans helping me reclaim my music. I had my heart set on Joey King, Taylor Lautner and Presley Cash starring in it. Joey and Presley had been in the video for ‘Mean’ when they were 9 and 13 and they are back and so ridiculously bad ass!! Taytay is INCREDIBLE in this (didn’t have a stunt double!) and shout out to Tay Lautner for being so awesome to hang with on set. The Tale of 3 Taylors 😆 I always wanted to direct fight scenes/a heist storyline and had the most incredible time plotting this out with my amazing DP Jonathan Sela. So proud of this one. 

My whole life, people have tried to make me into something I’m not. To make me “normal”, or at least “acceptable”. I became skilled at so many things just so I would still have value. Despite my flaws… or what I’d been taught was a flaw. Of course I tried to fit in. But when you’re punished just for being different, you begin to  hate what you are. And what you love. What should make you happy… only brings you pain. Don’t hate what you are. What you are is beautiful.
