Amazing story! @taylorswift

Dear Taylor, Love Taryn

Taylor,

I don’t know where to begin. This could be a novel to be honest if I let it (I won’t). One huge thing I love about your concerts is no matter how huge they are, you introduce yourself “Hi I’m Taylor and welcome to the  ___ tour” and it cracks me up, because 60,000 people obviously bought tickets to see you, so maybe I should do that first. Hi! I’m Taryn! Thank you for (hopefully) reading this. I’m from Brisbane, Australia and I have been a fan of yours for 10 years now. With my love of music, I have tried to see as many bands and musicians over the years, but yours are honestly the best moments of my life. The way you interact with the crowd is so intimate, despite being a sold out stadium or arena. Every single person is screaming the lyrics in their costumes they have spent months making. No other artist or band has the presence you do, you literally light up an entire stadium. The speeches you make are incredibly intimate, as if we are just talking to you over coffee, and they are relevant to every age group that is there. I just turned 30 and I feel like you are writing about my life half the time. You have this ability to make every single person feel special and thats what makes you different from everyone else out there.

I have had a particularly bad two years. I worked incredibly hard towards what I thought was my dream career and trusted people I shouldn’t have, put people’s feelings above myself because thats the type of person I am. I was bullied endlessly because I was promoted above someone else, and due to that persons jealously I ended having to give up my career because she falsified evidence against me. People believed her and despite having lawyers involved, I lost everything. I am not proud of this but the day I found out I had lost my career, that I spent 5 years studying and 4 years working in, I felt like wanted to die. I sat in my car, completely lost, crying for 5 hours because I was scared of what I was going to do. So I listened to your music. Like I do every day and have every day for the last ten years. I lost friends because they don’t want to hear “I’m not doing so well” for the third time that year. You got me through the hardest time in my life. I literally “rose up from the dead”. I could pick out a lyric from each song and relate it to an experience that I have had, and it’s crazy cause I feel like you wrote them for me and after reading so many other fans experiences, its seems like that is such a common thing and that is incredible. When you sang Change as a surprise b stage song I lost it, that song means everything to me “it’s hard to fight when the fight ain’t fair” “but there’s something in your eyes says we can beat this” is what I cried to for days after putting on a brave face while getting grilled by officials for hours for things I didn’t do.

Now on to happier things. I couldn’t wait for Reputation to come out. It came at the perfect time, I had been dealing with this awful situation and with everything you had dealt with, to come back with this incredible album, to basically f*** everyone else and do this for us, it gave me so much confidence and strength back. I am eternally grateful. It is so empowering. You are a huge role model, especially for woman, to stand up for themselves. Your trial will go down in history. It was SO important and I don’t think you get enough credit. Lyrically Reputation is amazing. It’s my favourite album for many reasons but personally, I now know I really needed it. So did my now husband. 1989 on repeat for three years was a bit much for him, he was even asking when the new Taylor album would be out. We actually got married on the 13th (!) Of May this year, our first dance song was ‘You Are in Love’, and one of the craziest things was I wrote notes for a year and a half for my vows and I had in there “I woke up just in time” because we were best friends for a year and a half and he waited for me even though I said no when he told me he liked me. I lost it when I heard dress for the first time. So in my vows I had that in there and it was my little secret. I also added in “I remember what you wore on the first day” from the song you co wrote ‘Two is Better Than One’ because I did remember and I think thats so romantic. We are all hopeless romantics right? (Also I wrote you a song, well a rhyme, to the tune of Love story 😂, see below). I have also met incredible friends through your music, once again like no other artist out there, you bring people together from all over the world, and I’m more than grateful ❤️

It is my dream to meet you this era, I feel like this era is the one I relate to you the best, cause I am fighting to get my reputation back and rising up from the dead (for the 4th time) in my small world, while you are out there being bad-ass Taylor showing everyone you don’t take peoples shit anymore. And I couldn’t be more PROUD. I’m going to be in Sydney (by myself ahh) section B3-1 Row B Seat 10 and Brisbane Snake Pit 1. You have been my constant over the last TEN years, always there for me and I will always be there, supporting you, I STAY.

Love Taryn

P.S Pictures of my tattoo have been floating round Tumblr and I hope you have seen it but I’m going to put another picture in anyway. Enchanted, was my first, played 30 times a day song, I just played it over and over, I was obsessed. I still am. Combining it with a flower from my wedding bouquet seemed fit.
