How did you become a Swiftie? I first heard about Taylor when she was dating Joe Jonas (I was a Jonatic). I decided to listen to her music and more after they broke up, when she released the Fearless album. I use to say I like her since 2008, but I became a Swiftie in 2009.

What is your favorite Taylor album? 1989!

What is your favorite Taylor song? Enchanted (but New Romantics is a close second)

What is your favorite Taylor-related memory? The first time she liked my selfie! I never thought it could happen but thanks to the Swifties who shared it on a Selfie Night, she could see my face and know how much I love her!

What is your favorite cursed fandom memory (if you have one)? I wasn’t around when most of these happened, so I’m gonna say five holes in the fence.

What are some of your non-Taylor related hobbies? Singing, playing the guitar, reading, writing, and editing.

What other music do you listen to? I listen mostly to pop music, I like songs that make me feel happy.

Do you stan anyone else, and if so, who? I’m a huge directioner; I follow their solo careers but I’m not a stan.

Do you have any pets, and if so, what kind/who are they? I have three cats: Agatha Luna (black and white), Charlotte (siamese mix), and Charlie (ragdoll mix) (editor: omg my stepmom’s cat named Charlie is either a ragdoll or maine coone mix i’m shook)

How long have you been on tumblr? As a swiftie, for almost 3 years

Anything else you’d like to share? I’m an international fan (from Brazil)

I know I'm supposed to have a new song every day, but these past few days I've been too busy to find new songs and post about them. So I apologize for being busy and not true to this blog's url. I'll just say that from now on, I'll try my very best to post a new song every day. But if there are days when I'm ridiculously busy, then I guess there just won't be a song that day. :/

For today's song, I chose a song that I actually listened to before but never realized how good it was until Sunday. While wandering through Spotify, I found Dillon and listened to "Thirteen Thirty-Five". I thought she was an interesting person so I saved that song. I also listened to "Tip Tapping", but it didn't strike me as a cool song or whatever. But, I listened to it again on Sunday because my friend came over to work on chem labs with me and showed me this song. After that, I was like "Whoa. This song. Dillon's voice. How did I not notice before?"

So yeah. If my friend didn't come over on Sunday, I probably wouldn't have listened to this song again. I showed her Lena's "Stardust", and she commented on her voice. The uniqueness of it reminded her of Dillon's voice. So she found Dillon for me, and I re-listened to "Tip Tapping".

I really like Dillon's voice. It's a really different voice. Like, it doesn't sound like a woman's voice but more like a child's voice. But at the same time, there is still a little bit of that matured voice feeling. To me, Dillon's voice is like a mix between a little boy's voice and a high-pitched girl's voice. It's got that raspy, child-like feel to it.

I also really like the kind of relaxed, carefree, and upbeat-ish beat. (blargh. i cant explain things well.) The instrumental sets up an almost child-ish sounding song: the trombones playing the alternating beats with the clarinets and woodblock, the staccato and bouncy notes, and the lightness of the instrumental. Dillon's voice only helps the song sound more childish and playful. Even the lyrics are childish. But, the childishness of the song is why I like "Tip Tapping". I feel like I could just listen to this all day. It's just a really nice song to listen to. (and i still cant explain why. orz you see what i mean by not being able to explain?)
