Happy birthday, Taylor Swift! The once country darling turned global pop sensation, turns 29 today (Dec. 13).
In celebration, letâs revisit some of Taylorâs greatest lyrical accomplishments. In 2006, her words deeply connected with the country audience. We were all singing along to "Tim McGraw." As her repertoire expanded, her songs quickly became the backdrop of our lives as we navigated falling in love, falling out of love, and falling down after intoxicating nights out with friends.
Everyone has a valid argument for why their favorite âTaylorâ is the best version of Taylor, and that conversation will continue to reinvent itself as many times as she does. However, one thing is for sure, her lyrics are perfect for Instagram captions that chronical moments our lives.
