don’t live in someone else’s shadow!
I think for me, beauty is sincerity. I think that there are so many different ways that someone can be beautiful. You know someone’s so funny that it makes them beautiful no matter how they look because they’re sincere in it. Or someone’s really emotional and moody and thoughtful and stoic but that makes them beautiful because that’s sincerely who they are. Or you look out into the crowd and you see someone so happy that they’re smiling from ear-to-ear and that sincerity comes through, and I think that’s what makes somebody beautiful. I’ve never felt like there’s just one way to be beautiful, you know, tall or short, straight hair or curly or whatever, some people have definitions of their “types.” You know, for me, I think that when I meet someone and there’s that magical thing about them that makes them unforgettable, it’s that they’re sincere in honest in whoever they are. Be that funny, happy, sad, going through a rough time, sarcastic, I think these personality traits that come through when somebody is really sincere is what makes them beautiful.
Taylor Swift & Zac Efron - Pumped Up Kicks (Foster The People acoustic cover) (Ellen version)
[live on The Ellen Show, Feb 2012]
for those who havent seen this yet.. not even a wk old & already over 4.5mln views on youtube! take a supertalented world star [Taylor] & add an actor which seems to be another hidden talent (>singing) [Zac]..result: a fucking OUTSTANDING duet. the acoustics, the new hilarious lyrics, the vocal harmonies. listen to it once & u wont be able to get it out of ur head for a while. one of those moments when -nobody- (in both the physical & tv screens audience) expects to get such an incredible musical moment.
Tyler Ward - Tyler Swift (original song)
he has my big respect for not just covering a Taylor song & changing the words (like owl city did) but for writing an ORIGINAL song for her. got stuck in my head immediately. very catchy. wish i could write a song for her one day.. (already have a rough idea in my head) she deserves every way of love shes getting.
this is what I’ve wanted to do my whole life. it never freaks me out. never. ever. but you know what does freak me out? when is the other shoe going to drop? i am so happy right now. so I am always living in fear. this can’t be real, right? this can’t really be my life.
Speak Now prologue. (by T.Swift)
Real life is a funny thing, you know. I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life and looking back regretting the moments we didn’t speak up. When we didn’t say ‘I love you’, when we should have said ‘I’m sorry’. So there is a time for silence and there is a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel and you so clearly know what you need to say, you’ll know it. I don’t think you should wait. I think you should SPEAK NOW.
