Celebs are everywhere; all over Twitter, Instagram, in magazines and on TV, however how much do we really know about them? A relatively new idea of mine is to post each month about a celeb who has appeared in the media recently due to success or are inspirational individuals. So starting off this trend is Miss Taylor Swift, who I am sure you are all familiar with. So why Taylor?
Don't you watch videos of Taylor now and think how grown up she has become? Far gone are those days as a sweet young country singer in music videos such as Love Story and Teardrops on My Guitar. I picked Taylor this month due to her latest release Bad Blood, which echoes the amount of success she has and how 'bad ass' she has become in more recent years. Starring big time celebs such as Cara Devevingne, Ellie Goulding and Selena Gomez, the video emphasises 'girl power' (no men feature in this video!) and shows Taylor to be sophisticated, sexy and most importantly authoritative which perfectly resembles the figure she has become. She has just been named the number 1 on Maxim Hot List for 2015 and doesn't she deserve it? She has also become a style icon, especially with her trademark 'red lips' which has encouraged many young girls to copy this trait. Her haircut which was most prominently showcased in her video Blank Space, inspired me to go shorter over Christmas to achieve a more 'grown up' look which I think Taylor carries off so well. Additionally Miss Swift racked an income of 64 million in 2014 after the obvious first big selling female artist, Beyonce. But her success doesn't end there...
Bad Blood
Taylor's new album 1989 is truly great! I've uploaded it to my phone thanks to a friend of mine and every song is really good, not like some albums where you pick your favourites to listen to and discard the rest. However I do have my favourites, including: Blank Space, Style, Wildest Dreams and How to Get the Girl. What I like about Taylor and particularly this album is you can listen to her when in any mood and when anywhere, she has a song to suit that journey home on the bus, in your bed at night or good tunes for a party. So I highly encourage all you readers to go and have a listen!
Unfortunately nothing is ever perfect, a message Taylor frequently reiterates herself, as Taylor's mum was diagnosed with cancer in December 2014. Despite this Taylor has stated that the last twelve months have been the best months of her life so far. She became a tourist ambassador for New York, has produced an album she has always wanted to make and has won various awards. She won several Billboard Awards including Top Female Artist 2015, was nominated for 3 grammys, won Favourite Female Artist in the People's Choice Awards and International Female Solo Artist at this years Brit Awards. Although she has been very successful in the music industry, Miss Swift has been renound to be not so good on the dating scene. Past boyfriends include; Joe Jonas, Lucas Till, Cory Monteith, John Mayer, Taylor Launtner, Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor Kennedy, and the most remembered, cheeky boy Harry Styles. However, with her new man by her side Mr Calvin Harris, has Taylor found her 'Love Story' after all?

Taylor's humblness and wise words surrounding relationships and her approach to the conflict surrounding women over being labelled 'attractive' based on certain physical features has elevated her respectability even more amongst the public. Lets commence Taylor for her success, she works very hard and has therefore come along way from those days singing about Romeo and Juliet and other fairytale romances. That transition from country singer to chart topping pop artist is evident in her music now. Today Taylor sings about power, finding yourself, and loving who you are which is especially reflected in her new album in songs such as Welcome to New York, Shake it Off and Blank Space. So well done Taylor, keep it up, I'm sure there are more awards, success and number 1's on the horizon.
Love Story- Back in 2008 when Miss Swift was just starting out! I'm sure you all remember that one.
Blank Space- Produced in 2014 this video demonstrates how Taylor's style has developed and rocks and damn good and sassy attitude. How she has matured.
Taylor, in a recent interview has shed light on why she believes feminism to be 'vital' to society in reaching equality between sexes. Check out Buzzfeed for more information on this!
