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…”
Check out the music video:

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 theirsSeems 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 youChorus: 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 oursYou 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 yoursSo 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 oursThe 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!
Watch this video of Taylor when she is waiting to see the CMA nominations:
Taylor’s fans talk about how she is an inspiration and how she impacts them in between takes of “Enchanted” live.

I think she’s beautiful. She seems so good. But so did Selena Gomez. :/ Time will tell, I suppose.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Taylor! She is an amazing role model!!! I love the way she expresses herself. You Belong With Me and Ours are among my MANY MANY MANY favorites! 🙂
My favorite is Change! It totally reminds me of the Anti Cosmo mission. Here are some lyrics:
“We can walk away, say we don’t need this. But there’s something in your eyes that says we can beat this, cuz these things will change!”
Love it 🙂
Oh my gosh that is my absolute favorite song of hers!!!
AAAHH I’m so glad you posted this! I LOVE Taylor Swift. She’s so encouraging and makes me wanna get back up every time I get hurt. My absolute favorite song by her is I’d Lie. I even learned the Sign Language for it(:
LOVE Taylor Swift! She’s so classy and genuine. Hahah, I love how at one part in the CMA announcements video she’s wearing a T-shirt that says “I wrote that song.” So cute!
My favorite Taylor Swift song is Haunted.
I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT!!! She is my role model! She is my inspiration! I started writing songs because of her! I don’t have a favorite song of hers, because I love all of them! She is so amazing, and so sweet, and so kind! I will always love Tay! 🙂
“Ours” is a beautiful song! soundtrack to my life 😉 I also love the duet Taylor did a few years ago with the band Boys Like Girls called “Two is Better than One”. It’s so pretty! “Half of my Heart” with John Mayer is also really good.
She’s the cutest, I love Taylor Swift! 🙂
I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT!! She’s my role model, it’s my dream to meet her! 😀 x
I <3 Taylor!!!! She is amazing and beautiful. 🙂 I especially love this song. it has a really good message! 🙂 Go Taylor!
Taylor is my favorite singer, EVER! NOt only are her songs catchy and just amazing, but she’s a great role model, and an amazing example at how young stars like her can stay successful without giving themselves up to the devil!
And my favorite song by Taylor Swift is her recently released song for The Hunger Games (which I also love), “Safe and Sound”! But “Enchanted” is super beautiful too! Then again, “Stay Beautiful” is amazing, and I am obsessed with “Christmas must be Something More”…UGH! I can’t pick just one!!!!!
I LOVE Taylor Swift now! My favorite song *ahem* SONGS by her are.
Enchanted-
Stay Beautiful-
Ours-and
Mean
I love the song “mine” and i also love enchanted:)

It’s towards the end though….
I love Taylor!! She’s like the only person from Hollywood that you can trust to not go and totally let you down.
I LOVE Taylor Swift!!! So far my favorite songs by her are: Love Story, You Belong With Me, Speak Now, and Mean! <3 <3
She is very famous but still very down to earth. One of the few artists that are actually modest these days!
She has the real talent because she writes all of her songs. Some artists don’t even do that, other people write the songs and then they sing it, but Taylor does both!
“Ours” is lyrically and musically beautiful! Taylor makes clean music which is neat. And it sells a lot, too, which shows that the American public likes clean music.
I love taylor swift! When i get my truck Im gonna be jamming out to this! 🙂 (yes girls CAN drive trucks. At least COUNTRY girls) I hope Taylor NEVER ends up on the cover of Cosmo… :O
I LOVE HER! I didnt even know she made a music video for this song! its amazing! <3
I love all the songs but my fav is Sparks Fly! <3
My Favorite song of hers! She is My Role Model. I love her! My Favorite part is
“And it’s not theirs to speculate
If it’s wrong and
Your hands are tough
But they are where mine belong “
i think this is a good message fo girls our age, because people do throw rocks at things that shine…. and it says don’t worry about it.
I love Taylor Swift, and this is an adorable music video.
I have a best friend and she looks so much like Taylor, except, my friend has red hair…The song of hers that speaks to me the most is Innocent.
Taylor, you are doing awesome! <3
I heard this song when I got the target Taylor Swift cd with extra songs on it! I loved the ending with her boyfriend being a soldier that was awesome!!
Last kiss, enchanted, ours and a couple others 🙂 They’re awesome! She is an amazing singer 🙂
Taylor Swift is not only a fabulous singer she has her own family and she is so beautiful and stunning! And I love her lyrics! 🙂
my favorite song from her is called “Innocence” and i can relate to it. i strongly suggest you look up the sing cause its so powerful,it’s such a great song!

i like Taylor Swift because she is down to earth! She is my actual role model I’ve had to go from famous role model to another all of them failed miserably but i dont think this girl will ever forget her priorities! i’m actually listening to stay beautiful right now! 🙂
I love Taylor Swift. She is very humble. The only thing I don’t like is how she can be a little too boy-crazy….
lyrically and personality-wise, taylor swift is awesome. i just don’t really like country music.
she is an inspiring, admirable person to look up to. 🙂
