Hold On To This Lullaby


I remember on a cold Christmas evening a couple of years back whilst I was watching telly on the sofa I got up and went to get a glass of water, as I was in the kitchen I heard this enchanting sound of an angel! I ran into my living room only to find that it was the end of a promo advert for an upcoming singer. I got a glimpse of a beautiful, long, cream dress and stunning golden blonde hair in an up do. It was just a picturesque site. I longed for the advert to return but it was only until weeks later that I heard it on telly. I remember thinking to myself that Taylor Swift is now my idol. The advert was of course for her dreamlike song Love Story.

Since then I have been a Taylor Swift fan. 

Eight reasons why I admire her:

  • Her music is just so wonderful and relatable
  • She is such a down to earth girl
  • Unlike other mainstream artists she can actually sing perfectly live
  • Taylor is flawless and an absolute darling
  • Her outfits are of perfection and are always faultless
  • Swift’s award ceremony outfits are always so elegant
  • She has an adorable kitten called Meredith
  • She cares for her fans. 

Her latest song Safe and Sound (which is the soundtrack for The Hunger Games) is definitely dark and unnerving. I suppose that’s the whole point seeing as the song is based on a fantasy-thriller movie that tells the story of a young girl who must fight for survival in a disturbing, corrupt and twisted society. 

I find this song really emotional, touching and meaningful, yet I also find it to be haunting with the collaboration of all three voices on the “oooohhh’s” … it is genius . Unless you have been living under a rock then you have probably heard about the craze for The Hunger Games Trilogy books! I am still to read them but I will beyond doubt be adding them onto my summer reading list alongside Speak!

I did a cover of Safe and Sound recently at an event at my school! Check it out below!
