Sekarang lagi demen-demennya nih sama lagu-lagunya Taylor Swift, terutama You Belong With Me, Love Story, dan Teardrops on My Guitar. Jadi penasaran sama cewek sweet yang satu ini... So, sekarang gw akan mengulas seputar Taylor Swift...
Taylor Alison Swift lahir pada tanggal 13 Desember 1989. Ya ampun!!! Cuman beda 2 tahun sama gw!! Cewek yang satu ini memang multi-talented abiss! Terbukti dengan kariernya sebagai penyanyi, penulis lagu, gitaris, dan aktor. Ia terkenal sebagai country pop singer-songwriter.
Pada tahun 2006, Swift mengeluarkan single pertamanya: "Tim McGraw". Single ini dirilis di radio pada pertengahan 2006. Single ini berhasil mencapai posisi ke-6 versi Billboard's Hot Country Songs, loh!! Swift bilang, "I wrote the song in my freshman year of high school. I was dating a guy who was about to go off to college. I knew we were going to break up so I started thinking of all the things that I knew would remind him of me. Surprisingly, the first thing that came to mind was that my favorite country artist is Tim McGraw." Aw…, aw…, aw…., jadi sirik sama artis yang satu ini! Albumnya yang dinamai Taylor Swift dirilis pada tanggal 24 oktober 2006 dan berhasil terjual 39.000 kopi pada minggu pertama...!!! Single kedua dari album Taylor Swift adalah “Teardrops on My Guitar”, dirilis pada tanggal 24 February 2007.
Album terakhir Swift, Fearless dirilis pada tanggal 11 November 2008. Singlenya yang berjudul “Love Story” menjadi hits di chart musik pop maupun country. Di minggu ke-8 setelah dirilis, Fearless telah mendapatkan keuntungan dari 338,467 download. Waaahh! Amazing banget,
Nah, kabar yang paling baru nih, udah tau belum Taylor Swift meraih penghargaan Best Female Video untuk "You Belong With Me" di ajang 2009 MTV Video Music Awards?? Nah, kalau belum tahu, ada sebuah 'insiden' pada saat Taylor Swift mendapatkan penghargaan itu. Begini ceritanya... Rapper yang sudah tidak asing lagi, Kanye West, tiba-tiba naik ke atas panggung dan merebut mic dari Swift yang belum selesai mengucapkan ungkapan terima kasihnya, seraya berkata kalau yang berhak menerima penghargaan itu adalah Beyonce untuk video "Single Ladies". Baik Swift maupun Beyonce sama-sama terkejutnya atas ulah Kanye West! Ckckckc, perbuatan yang engga patut dicontoh nih! Hahahaha... Beyonce ternyata mendapat penghargaan juga sebagai Best Video of The Year untuk "Single Ladies". Beyonce akhirnya meminta Swift untuk naik ke atas panggung untuk menyelsaikan ucapannya yang tadi sempat dipotong oleh Kanye West. Wah, oke banget yah Beyonce...
Kanye West yang dikritik oleh banyak artis dan juga Presiden Barrack Obama ini akhirnya meminta maaf kepada Swift lewat blognya. Ia juga tampil dalam The Jay Leno Show sehari setelah insiden itu untuk meminta maaf. Namun, Kanye West belum pernah meminta maaf langsung kepada Swift semenjak insiden itu. Hmm, seakan-akan engga tulus nih minta maafnya! Hahaha.
Pada tanggal 15 September 2009, Swift diawancarai mengenai insiden tersebut di acara The View. Swift bilang, "Well, I think my overall thought process was something like, 'Wow, I can't believe I won, this is awesome, don't trip and fall, I'm gonna get to thank the fans, this is so cool'", kemudian Swift berpikir, "'Oh, Kanye West is here. Cool haircut. What are you doing there?' lalu, 'Ouch.' kemudian, 'I guess I'm not gonna get to thank the fans.'" Setelah wawancara di The View, Kanye West secara personal meminta maaf kepada Swift dan dimaafkan. Wahh, ternyata bukan hanya wajahnya saja yang cantik, hatinya juga cantik!!! Go Taylor Swift!!!
You Belong With Me
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.
Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
Teardrops on my guitar
I fake a smile so he won't see
What I want and I need
And everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she's got everything
That I have to live without
Drew talks to me
I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny
I can't even see
Anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love
He's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows
He's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky 'cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight
'Cuz he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
He's the time taken up but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
Love Story
I closed my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On the balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd And say hello, little did i know
That you were romeo,you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy said to stay away from juliet
And i was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and i said
Romeo take me somewhere where we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and i'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me there trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh Oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When i met you on the outskirts of town, and i said
Romeo save me i've been feelling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He kelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all i really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh Oh, Oh Oh
'Cause we were both young when i first saw you...
