A Closer Look at Taylor Swift’s Positive Message

Nicole introduced Taylor Swift’s song “Ours” to you girls a couple months ago. Here I’d like to talk about the wonderful lyrics in this song and how Taylor is a living example of a beautiful, humble and successful girl who’s a great role model for teens!

Swift is an amazing songwriter, singer and artist. She has made her way to the top, but has risen with dignity and class. Swift is a great role model and writes songs with fun, relatable, and creative lyrics.

Her newest song “Ours” is so catchy and great to sing along to! My favorite line is, “Don’t you worry  your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine…but they can’t take what’s ours…”

Swift’s lyrics are so different than those of most “pop icons” in the industry right now. She is a shining star who stands out among the others. Here are her creative lyrics to “Ours”:

Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers’ silence makes me want to take the stairs
If you were here we’d laugh about their vacant stares
But right now my time is theirs

Seems like there’s always someone who disapproves
They’ll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury’s out, my choice is you

Chorus: So don’t you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water’s rough
But this love is ours

You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don’t care ’cause right now you’re mine…

And it’s not theirs to speculate
If it’s wrong and
Your hands are tough
But they are where mine belong and
I’ll fight their doubt and give you faith
With this song for you

‘Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
‘Cause my heart is yours

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
Don’t you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can’t take what’s ours
They can’t take what’s ours

The stakes are high, the water’s rough
But this love is ours

Not only is Taylor Swift talented and motivated, but also she’s down to earth. Taylor makes video blogs and loves catching up with her fans on her website and through social media. I love how humble and real she is. Take a look at one of her video blogs!
