I listened to a story today on
my news app about how some friendships are
ending over Taylor Swift and I laughed.
It’s not a real friendship if, really, that’s
the only sticking point between the pals.
I like her. I love her. I mean, I like
her music (honestly, not always), but
I love her humanity, I admire her
gumption and humor and kindness; she’s good.
And her power is mind boggling to me.
I admit to some level of super-fan,
I wrote her into my last novel, I did.
I say I listen to Swift without shame;
I doubt a single friend of mine will blame.
