Look What You Made Me Do REVIEW

When Taylor Swift first appeared on the music scene, I was going through my whole dislike-anything-that-majority-of-people-like-just-to-be-different phase.

HAHA

I don't know what snapped but one day I just realized how much I appreciated her music writing skills and melodies and easy to sing along factor.

I have top 5 favorites which are:



Being a pretty loyal follower of Taylor, or "a Swiftie" (LOL) I keep up with new songs and album drop dates. Normally she puts out new music every 24 months around the fall time..... This year however she changed things up and us fans painfully waited for three full years!

I read on Facebook about a song being revealed Thursday "night" so naturally I planned to wait until midnight because obviously I'm not going to miss it! I don't get this committed to many things, so don't judge me!

This first release is called Look What You Made Me Do and my first time hearing it, I felt unsure. I didn't know what I expected or how I felt. I was also desperately trying to listen on volume 1 through my cell phone as my husband was asleep next to me. I turned it up a little bit and I replayed this song FIVE times before I could understand how I felt.




I went to bed, I didn't have any clear thoughts, and I woke up to Friday morning for work.

My job allows for headphones because primarily I do data entry so THANKFULLY I got to play this bad boy on repeat for hours. hehehe.

I did skip around and listen to a few people's covers of the song over on YouTube and then had a blast watching "reaction" videos from hundreds of people. 

So my final GOOD thoughts.

I do like this song.

It is catchy.

It is easy to sing along to.

It is car music, mostly, but also home music (when I'm working etc)

It is different.

It's Taylor's voice.

My final NOT GOOD thoughts:

It is a bit forced in my opinion on T.S. 'trying too hard' to be 'too edgy'

It doesn't show growth to me, instead, I felt she took a step back with how repetitive the lyrics are it's kinda juvenile to me 

It sounds a bit 'like this' and a bit 'like that' there are SO many different kinds of sounds to it. This isn't a bad thing really but I feel like she did a little too much on it like chill out pick a tune and go with it lol

but overall, I do like it, and the more I play it the more I like it, duh. 

I'll always support this artist because I've purchased every album so far and I haven't been disappointed. 

HER ALBUM COMES OUT NOV 10 (also my dad's birthday hehe) I CANNOT WAIT ;) 

Do you agree? Disagree? Leave me a comment, I would love to hear your thoughts!!

Ever been caught in a state of questioning yourself as to whether you should keep someone on your social media account? We've all been there. If you're questioning it, must be some reason behind it. Anyone you're thinking twice about needs to go. Could be a coworker, old acquaintance, an in-law, or just a person you no longer have interest in hearing from or seeing updates from. Just let em' go. It's your social media account, you have every right to weed out people. If anyone takes it personal that's on them. You are in charge of your own happiness. I've unfollowed and removed so many people on the simple basis that their posts are ignorant and annoying and they make me hate the publisher. Instead of hating anyone I just unfollow their feed. No more problems. Happy me! If the person is someone you actually dislike or have reason to remove that requires a more permanent basis I recommend blocking. Don't question it; just do it. Move

Not all pain is physical, and not all physical pain is visible.

I am so sick of crying. I hate feeling helpless and I hate being in pain.  When someone is crying and you ask, "hey what's wrong?" Normally, you expect an answer that gives something of an explanation as to why this person is crying. Humans are curious and want to know what causes things to happen.  When I cry and someone asks me what's wrong, I answer, "my lower back hurts again"  This may not sound like a reasonable explanation to someone who has never experienced lower back pain. Those words could easily to the unknowing person sound like "my stomach hurts" "my hand is cramping" things that are taken as common and fixable.  Well, allow me to give you some insight as to what the words "my lower back hurts again" really means, from my experience.  My back pain all started on Mother's Day 2013. I woke up excited to go fishing with my boyfriend and his family. I jumped out of bed, peed, and went to brush m

Supporting doesn't mean agreeing...

Supporting someone does NOT mean you must agree.. A common misconception in friendships and relationships....If I support you, I have to agree with you, and then I am being fake because I really do not agree... Who said you had to agree with the person? YOU DON'T! You...DON'T! You can support someone you love/care about and still not agree with what they are choosing to do. Support is simply you being there regardless of what happens...You believing in them, that they will in fact do their best and that is all they can do...You being there at the end whether it worked or failed...You will not say "haha, told you so" in case the plans don't go accordingly....support is many things..but it's not agreeing. How can you support someone and not agree? Well, it's easy! For example. Your best friend or sister [female] just decided she wants to be a stripper...You are very against this because of your personal/religious/whatever belief/morality. So, do you s
