Taylor Swift Needs to Grow Up & Stop Writing Songs About Exes

by Kiri Blakeley on June 15, 2012 at 3:20 PM

Taylor SwiftIt's finally happening! We've all been wondering when Jake Gyllenhaal would find himself on Taylor Swift's hit list, and word has it that she is, as we speak, writing a tune about Jakey. Of course, The Stir already came up with potential lyrics for this smash hit, which everyone knew was going to happen the second Jake supposedly  dumped her. Personally, I'm much more looking forward to what she has to say about cutie pie Jake than what she had to say about chronic womanizer John Mayer. What else can you expect from John?

But Jake ... he's so quiet and well-behaved. I'm telling you, it's the quiet ones you need to look out for! Seriously, though, isn't it time for Taylor to stop this babyish whining about exes?

Taylor, of course, is famous for crooning about the various men who hopped in and out of her life. It all makes ya wonder just what Taze is up to that these men all retreat so darn quickly. But just let a guy dare to not return a text message, and he's got an entire album dedicated him. (Speaking of texts, word has it this is how Jake broke things off with her. But I don't believe it! Guess we'll find out.)

Besides the usual no-name dudes she dated and crushed on, Taylor has also written about Mayer, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, and Adam Young from the band Owl City.

But I mostly want to know about Jake. First off, I think he's the most talented and best-looking of the bunch. Secondly, why'd he dump her so quickly?? Of course, we'll only hear Taylor's version, so methinks whatever happened, it will certainly all be Jake's fault.

Hey, I have absolutely nothing against using your past relationships for creative inspiration. I've done it. Pretty much anyone who pens books, blogs, poems or songs has done it. But there comes a time when people start to get a little leery about dating you knowing that there's a good chance they're going to end up raked over the coals in a song. And Taylor may have just reached that point. Taze, don't you ever want to find true love?

Rumors are swirling about who Taylor is dating now. Tim Tebow's name has popped up. As has Mark Foster from the band Foster the People. Now there is one guy Taylor needs to be careful with. He could write a bigger song about HER than she could about HIM!

Do you ever write about your exes?

    I think she needs to learn that everyone gets their heart broken and everyone breaks hearts. The heartbroken one will always feel like it's an injustice and sometimes it really is, but other times it's just not fair to expect men to stay in relationships they decided won't work out. I think it's okay to  write the songs, but it's going to come to come to a point that the fans are going to get bored and men aren't going to want her, so she may want to stop making the songs public.

    Stop being a hater!! :) Her song writing has made her a very successful, famous and wealthy artist. If you don't like it, don't listen to her music.

     

    I say, Swift-y keeps writing for all those young girls who need to let out their heart ache! :)

    Amen! I've long maintained that she is far too immature for the grown woman that she is. And I'd like to give her some advice I give my middle school students since that's what she acts like......when you have issues with EVERYONE, maybe aren't the victim. Maybe you're the problem. And these dumb guys!! When will they wise up and realize the price of dating her is that they'll end up the subject of one of her whiney songs.

    You just wrote a blog post titled "Supermodel Bar Refaeli Is Dating ‘Down’ With Goofy New Snowboarder Boyfriend" and in it you most certainly talked about your former bf "Frank" in a most unflattering way "He was a homely man with a big, protruding brow, large, googly eyes, and a big belly." And let's don't forget "... I'd drink to blur the lines between what I was seeing and what I wanted to see."  So I don't see who you are to point any fingers at anyone for what they have to publicly say about any of their exes...

    Finally! Someone agrees with me! Her songs were cute and sweet when she was 16, but not now that she's what, 21? 22? It's time to grow up, sweetie. Am I saying it's not okay to write songs about your exes as therapy? No. I'll write to vent, but I'll keep it private, for my eyes only. Let's try that for a change, Taylor. Let's see how your career changes when you write big girl songs!

    Songs Taylor Swift wrote that are not about trashing her exes-
    Mean
    Eyes Open
    Never Grow Up
    Enchanted
    Sparks Fly
    Mary's Song
    The Best Day
    Change

    That probably isn't all them but that's all I can think of right now. I think she writes about her exes so much because the songs are relatable. If a song if more relatable, more people will like it. Simple. If writing a song after a bad breakup helps her get through it, so what? No big deal really.

    What else is she supposed to write about? She channels her feelings into songs. That's how she controls her emotions. She's 22, I'm a fan of her and I don't ever get tired of her songs. Apparently, neither do her millions of fans, if you are tired of hearing them, don't listen. Those songs have helped more people than you know.

    It's so immature of you to write blogs like this. Taylor does not always write about love. Anyway, if she did, that's what we like, because it helps us go through it. You're a grown up already, please.

    Who cares! She has made millions of dollars, won the hearts of millions of people and is famous becacsue of what she writes about! If you don't like it-don't buy her stuff or support her music! It really is that simple!
