Taylor Swift's Photo Blog: An Idol Moment

Posted: April 14th, 2008 at 3:43 pm  |  By: Taylor Swift  

The one of us pointing to the wall. I ran into Kristy Lee Cook from American Idol at the mall in Beverly Hills the other day, and she invited me to come watch American Idol that night! It was a blast, and she's SO sweet!

Editor's note: Leading up to the 2008 CMT Music Awards, Taylor Swift is sharing some of her favorite photos.

    Hey, Taylor!
    I’m definetly a huge fan of yours!
    I love all your music!
    When i saw this blog i was
    like “Omg, no way!”
    because Kristy Lee Cook
    is my favorite contestant
    on American Idol this season!
    She’s really good at singing
    and seems to have
    a terrific attitude! So I’m
    absolutely positively big fans
    of both of you guys!
    Love,
    Misty

    Taylor,
    I’m a mom with teenage girls about your age (16-1/2 and nearly 19), and I love to see how grounded you are especially in light of your rocketing success. Stay that way. Have fun. Your songs are fun and real. (I guess that means they’re real fun– haha!) And you’re the best darn songwriter out there.
    Signed,
    A Montana Mom!

    HI TAYLOR,
    MAN I WISH THIS WAS A REAL CONVERSATION WITH YOU BUT ANYWAYS I WANT TO START OUT BY SAYING THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU!!!! I WROTE YOU ON MYSPACE ALL I HAVE IS ONE QUESTION, WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE WORDS TO ‘JUST ANOTHER PICTURE TO BURN?’ WHERE IT SAYS ‘GO AHEAD AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS IM OBSESSIVE AND CRAZY THATS FINE ILL TELL MINE YOUR GAY’ THAT WAS MY FAVORITE PART!!!! WHAT HAPPENED?
    I THINK THATS SO FUNNY IN THAT ONE CAPTION YOU HAVE ON HERE EXPLAINING ONE OF YOUR PICS WHERE YOU GO ‘THIS IS A PICTURE TAKING DOWN IN TEXAS’ I THINK THAT IS HILLARIOUS WHEN I HERE PEOPLE SAYING STUFF LIKE THAT. (IM FROM TEXAS) :)
    ANYWAYS HAVE FUN AND KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING I LOVE IT, AND OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE ELSE DOES TOO! I HOPE YOU BUILT SOME KIND OF SPECIAL, HUGE ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE CAUSE YOUR GONNA NEED IT AFTER THE CMA AWARDS WITH ALL AWARDS THAT YOU WILL BE BRINGING HOME WITH!! ;)
    lOVE YA,
    MANDI

    P.S. MY BROTHER WHO IS 11 YEARS OLD WANTS ME TO TELL THAT HE LOVES YOU AND MAYBE YOU CAN WRITE A SONG WITH HIS NAME IN IT…TRISTAN. I KNOW THAT PROB. WON’T BE POSSIBLE BUT I JUST MADE HIS DAY JUST BY MENTIONING IT TO YOU..
    IM FIXIN TO TURN 21 IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST MAYBE YOU CAN COME DOWN AND SING A FEW OF MY FAVORITE SONGS AT MY PARTY!! JUST A COUPLE THEN YOU CAN JUST HANG OUT WITH US AND SOME FUN CAUSE IM SURE WORK SO MUCH AND SO HARD ALL THE TIME!! WE WILL SHOW YOU SOME GOOD OLE’ TEXAS FUN.

    Hi Taylor,

    I just wanna tell you how much of an inspiraton you are to so many people including me, all your songs are so real and pure that all teenage girls can relate to, thats what i like about you most is that your just being you and having a good time instead of trying to be someone your not. I wish you alot of luck in country music and in the CMA awards. PS: your so awesome and i love your hair. keep it real.

    love-love-love

    That is so cool! Kristy has really improved on “Idol” this season and is now one of my favorite contestants. And by the way, I started screaming the other night when the camera panned on you in the audience. I was like, “THERE’S TAYLOR SWIFT! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!” :)

    I saw a recent interview and learned that you write up your music depending on what you are experiencing at that time. That you write up about your boyfriends. Cool.

  • Alessandra Dowling says:

    Posted: June 30th, 2009 at 10:14 pm  

    Hey! you are my favorite singer i have both of your albums and is waiting for your 3rd one! My mom thinks you are a good idol! I sang your song Should’ve said no for my talent show this year! My favorite song so far is either You BElong With Me because i like a boy and he always goes out with other girls and I’d Lie because that explains that same boy in a nut shell! Thank you for writing about your boy experiences whenever im going through something with a boy i listen to one of your songs and they make me feel better
    your biggest fan,
