Swift doesn't just give money, she gives advice, too. When a male Swiftie, who goes by the Tumblr user-name “Swift Romantics”, asked the singer's opinion Tuesday on whether he should wear a tie or bow tie to his prom, Swift responded. "So prom is on Thursday and I need to know, tie or bow tie?" he wrote. "I like the tie but honestly both are great," she wrote back. "I just feel like you look like a 50’s movie star in the bow tie, but more like a modern movie star in the tie. Depends on what vibe you’re wanting to convey but I’d say the tie. Great suit by the way!" In what was known as "Swift-mas," the singer bought, hand-wrapped and sent Christmas and Hanukkah presents to some of her mega-fans last year. Not just any gifts, though.

    Not leaving as in literally leaving out of the door, but leaving the face of earth. Taylor is actually someone I had the honor to meet once.

Just as well as it was her in that terrible, sad accident; that could have been my best friend, my sister, one of my classmates. This showed me that I should be nice to everyone and cherish the time I have with people because there is no telling what could happen to someone.

    Frank Ocean once said, “When you 're happy, you enjoy the music. But when you 're sad, you understand the lyrics.” Why does one have to be sad to “understand the lyrics”?

    Behind every song, there is a story that summarizes an event that happened to the singer. The story behind Taylor Swift’s song “Bad Blood” is all about breaking the trust and cheating. The music video for the song defined the theme of the words and their meaning, and what I liked the most is that both the lyrics and the video have the same story. In my own point of view, I think that the music video and lyrics complete the song and make the song different and have a special taste. Both the video which represents Taylor Swift’s reaction toward the unexpected betrayal and the words of the song delivered a life message.

The description of Ireland leaves a gloomy effect on the audience, as they are met with a somber tone set forth by a description on how thousands of people are affected by the poverty in Ireland. Swift continues this appeal to Pathos by describing the state of families within this poverty: “this prodigious number of Children, in the Arms, or on the Backs, or at the heels of their Mothers, and frequently of their Fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the Kingdom, a very great additional grievance” (Swift, 2). This description of the melancholy state of Ireland creates an emotional appeal because, the thought of having mass amounts of children being forced to cling to their Mothers and Fathers in a desperate struggle for survival, is a morose image.
