hello. bella is the name, looking bored is the game. i promise i’m a happy person and i have the ability to smile.

if you want to make me smile, come find me @ gh @ gibbehhhh.

taylor was the very first industry friend i made outside of my band. she and paramore were both nominated for best new artist at the grammy's in 2008 and we had both attended an afterparty thrown by timbaland. her mom came up to me towards the end and said: my daughter sucks at making friends, will you be hers if i give you her number? not really, andrea swift would never talk about any of her kids that way but like…close enough, right?

i remember when she released speak now, i sat in my car in my driveway at home and listened to it all the way through and by the end, all i remember thinking was that my best friend was magic. her songwriting was just magic. i’ve felt that way about every album she’s put out since then, 1989 being no different.

i wish i could go back to this specific moment at my 21st birthday party and tell her one day, she’ll be two albums away from legitimately owning all of her music. for real this time. what an honor it’s been to watch her grow.
