A quick little intro- songwriter to songwriter.

Taylor, if I hadn't listened to your song Love Story back in 2011, I may have never become a songwriter. Well, I kind of wrote songs back then, but not to the point of it wanting it to be my job. Every time you sing and write, you inspire me. Please continue singing and writing because you're so good and you do it so well (Wildest Dreams pun). You are one of the most inspiring singers I have ever come across. Happy 26th birthday! Let this be a year of great, magical things.

Sincerely,
Bellise
