8. Why do I like Taylor Swift?
 The fist time I saw her was on youtube. I was looking
for new songs and a country music video appeared, it
was called ‘’Mine, by Taylor Swift’’. I clicked on it and I
started to watch it.The video was about Taylor and her
boyfriend, how their lives change as time goes by, how
they get married,they buy a house despite they don’t
have too much money….From that moment I began to
listen to her songs, because her music means
something, her lyrics are real and that situations really
happened to her in her life.

9. One of her songs
Mean-Speak Now ‘’(…)And I can see
you years from
now in a bar,
talking over a
football game, with
that same big loud
opinion but
nobody’s listening
washed up and
ranting about the
same old bitter
things.Drunk and
grumbling on about
how I can’t sing but
all you are is
The song was originally written in response to a mean’’
music critic who wrote not-nice things about her.
