Why NOT Me?

I've heard "all the news" about Taylor Swift lately. I don't need to rehash it. She's the most famous person in the universe. 

But I thought "Well, everybody else is talking about her, so why not me??"

Here's my thing about her: she's disproving that old saying "Nice guys finish last." Or shall we say "Nice girls." However you want to put it. Your call. 

She's nice to her fans. She asks people to get out and vote. She paid $55 million in bonuses to her employees out of her own pocket. She even featured a shelter cat named Yaris in her Time Magazine Person Of The Year photo

I'm not here to canonize her. Plenty of people are doing that already, which is cool with me. And she's human, so she has her faults like everybody else. 

Some people will say "Well, I'd be really generous too, if I had her kind of fame and fortune." (Yep, I name-played here.)

But when you combine her type of generosity with catchy, well-written tunes, it's easy to see why people on Pluto have heard of her. 

(Confession time: I've taken an astronomy course - under pain of death from my university - and I didn't hear anything about "people on Pluto." I made that up. But you get the point. I don't have to beat you over the head with a club.)

I just think a genuinely nice person who also writes catchy, fun, and heartfelt tunes - and works with other talented people - should have her day in the sun.

Yay you, Taylor!
