6 years ago I turned 16 and a few months later I heard this song & #39;Shake It Off& #39; on the dutch radio on my way to school. At that moment in time, i just liked music but this song gave me chills and make me feel so strongly against everything that people said to me at that time.

i knew Taylor was a country singer but this was something i needed to be part of. So i went on twitter and followed the release a bit and & #39;1989& #39; just blew me away and that was the point I felt I found the person who made music for my heart, who sang about things I felt.

I always think back about that ride in the buss to a school i did not like, people i did not like, but at least it gave me one of the greatest things in life; my passion for music.

& #39;1989& #39; is the best pop album ever made but for me it& #39;s way way more then that. It speaks of hope.

& #39;1989& #39; is not just a reset of pop music it& #39;s a rebirth of a new pop era and so many more things. Most of us started to really see the power of Taylor during 1989 and i want to thank her so much for taking the risk making this pure pop masterpiece despite her label saying & #39;no& #39;.

She most likely has no idea whatsoever how much & #39;1989& #39; changed my life. Even after 6 years, and now a young adult, I still get tears in my eyes during & #39;Clean& #39; and so many more songs. & #39;Shake It Off& #39; will forever be that song for me. Thank u so much Taylor https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz"> #6YearsOf1989
