Friday on my way to school, I was listening to my least favorite singer of all time, Taylor Swift. Her voice greeted me as I prepared for the last day of the school week. Her song in no way brightened my day, but it was the only song on the radio at that moment.
"You Belong With Me" is a song about Taylor Swift being jealous of this guy's girlfriend. She describes the other girl as "wearing high heels, short skirts, being cheer captain." Obviously she has some resentment against this girl, and she may not even know her. She is basing her accusations solely on what she has perceived of this girl's outward appearance. The basis of her hatred is jealousy no doubt. She wants this guy to like her instead of his "superficial" girlfriend. At the end of each chorus, she sings the phrase "Why can't you see you belong with me? You belong with me." I don't know about you, but this sounds like Taylor Swift has a creeping problem on this guy. She is obsessed with having him as her boyfriend and has written this song to let him know about it.
An obsession to this degree does not seem healthy in my opinion. Taylor may need to take a step back and examine her motives here. She may think her endeavor of writing this song is romantic, but it is quite the contrary. To the guy for whom this song was written: run the other way. To Taylor Swift: give up the creeper image, because it's not attractive.
