45.

So, it's day 1 of The Speak Now Project.
I admit I didn't have a whole lot of time to come out with an outfit today, so this is what I've got:

I'm wearing a white t-shirt because white is Taylor's favorite color, and I've also got on a side headband with a gorgeous floral embellishment, an accessory that has become a signature of Taylor's.

I realize this is not the most creative of outfits, but I promise they'll get better.

So today I've listened to "Mine" three times already. This can be explained by the fact that I am home on a 4 day weekend from college and I had some serious TV to catch up on. Specifically the CMA Musicfest (where Taylor did an amazing performance of "Mine") and the NFL Season Opener last night where Taylor performed "Mine" again, although admittedly the performance wasn't as solid as it was at Musicfest.
Something I feel I should get clear on:
I am obviously a huge fan of Taylor's. That much I'm hoping is obvious. But what I'm not is deaf. I know that she's not the best vocalist in the world, and I know that sometimes she doesn't sound amazing in live performance. But what is amazing is her songwriting ability and performance skills. I know she's not perfect, and I love her all the more for it.
Ok, back to topic.
In terms of my promised previously released Taylor song, today it ended up being "You Belong with Me" as that was part of Taylor's performance at the NFL Season Opener concert. "You Belong with Me" has always been one of my favorites of Taylor's, especially because it's the opener of her concert and an adorable, relatable song.

I'm not sure there's anyone who hasn't felt this way at one time or another. Everyone always has that one friend that they inexplicably fall in love with, against all odds. I can easily say I've felt this before. And hearing Taylor's experience in the song, one that was so close to mine, made her seem to relatable and real to me.
So, that's what "You Belong with Me" means to me. What does it mean to you?

Thank you for bearing with me while I get back on my blogging feet. This is something I haven't done in a really long time, but I'm so passionate and excited about this that I'm throwing myself back into the fire that is blogging once again.
Keep you fingers crossed, everyone.
