Highlight Of The Decade

The last decade has seen me go through the bratty age of 16, to my most formative age of 26. Through all the highs and lows, Taylor Swift has been there creating the albums that have helped shape my life. As I grow, so does she, so her music has always felt like my personal story. I moved in with the love of my life this year so when her single Lover was released and she first sang, "This is our place, we make the rules," I had goosebumps from my head to my toes. Was the highlight moving in with my love or the release of another relatable Taylor banger? You can make that call.

Prediction For Next Year

I've finally finished my degree! My crystal ball is telling me I'm going to get into PR or media for a Tassie music project or festival. Locals Sly Withers and The Sleepyheads are going to blow up, and GRAACE is going to be an international export and a major popstar. Steven Avery will finally be proved not guilty and I'll interview Taylor Swift and be totally cool about it.
