Closing my blog down.
Not like it matters anymore since I haven’t been that active anyways, but I’m closing this blog. Some of you may have been following me since my xxxxmomsen days (before I moved my blog completely) and if that’s the case, hey, it’s been a nice 4 year run! This blog really affected how my life is today. I wouldn’t have met some of the people I now cherish so much and for that it will always have a special place in my heart. Those 2010-2012 days were so nice huh.
I suppose I’m leaving this blog due to being on it less, but also because of how things have changed with TPR. Nothing is the same anymore when it comes to them or the fan base. To be honest, I am growing increasingly annoyed these days. From how they don’t allow pictures at some of the meet and greets (despite the price doubling) to Taylor saying the most ignorant shit about feminism. That was the final straw. The girl used to rant about sexism and women in interviews, and now she said all that god awful stuff. It feels like the person I fell so in awe with doesn’t really exists anymore. I remember when Taylor used to actually talk in interviews and not just use the same scripted answers. It feels robotic now. She used to share so much of her knowledge with us and give great advice. Like the interview where she talks about being yourself and feeling like you don’t fit in changed me. That’s why it makes me so sad to watch current interviews. I don’t know this has happened or why there seems to be such a big personality change in Tay, but it’s really not any of my business to know so I’m not going to waste my time trying to figure it out. I know some of you are going to give me shit for this and say I was never a true fan then. But don’t even go there. TPR make amazing music so I could never not love them. But that’s it, that’s all I find myself doing these days…loving the music. So that’s what I’ll keep doing of course. I just don’t feel the same way when it comes to me feeling personally connected to or admiring Tay like I used to.
I have invested so much time in Taylor and the band, so it is bittersweet. Like god I’ve turned so many people into fans because I practically shoved Light Me Up down everyone’s throat circa 2010/11. This blog was once my life and all I focused on. I have met Tay a bunch of times and have had great special experiences every single time, yes even in September and October when we met after the show. She has taught me a lot and definitely opened the mind of my 15 year old self. I also met all my best friends from this fandom and flew to the east cost in September and saw TPR with some of them. . There are soooo many good times. Like when we all listened to the Hit Me Like a Man EP together and cried. In fact, remember how the previews on Amazon dropped out of nowhere, like we didn’t even know the EP was a thing that was happening. Gosh I also have some not so good times in the fandom, like when my post about John went viral haha. I will definitely hold on to all those memories for the rest of my life and will always rock out to their albums…but all I am is disappointed these days to be honest. So it’s time for me to say an official goodbye. Love you guys, thanks for sticking with me. It’s been fun.
