It was 31st of January when Taylor Swift released her documentary titled ‘Miss Americana’ that covers her behind the scenes footage, as well her past experiences through out her career.

Body shaming, politics, LGBT and women’s rights – that is one of few topics that was tackled in the said documentary, which was aired in Netflix. The things that we can learn and relate to from here are as follows:

“When you’re living for the approval of strangers, [and] that’s where you drive all of you joy and fulfillment. One bad thing can cause everything to crumble.”

-Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift, in her film, opened up about being the person everyone wanted her to be. That being a nice girl, she should not make people feel uncomfortable with her own opinion. That she shouldn’t force everyone to believe her.

“It’s better to think that you look fat than to look sick”

-Taylor Swift

The pop star stated her belief regarding body shaming. In accordance with this, she also opened up about her experience having an eating disorder.

“We do exist in this society where women in entertainment are discarded in an elephant graveyard by the time they’re 35… As I’m reaching 30, I’m like, I want to work really hard while society is still tolerating me being successful”

-Taylor Swift

T-swift talked about how young artists can impact change in the society.

“I want to love glitter and also stand up for the double standards that exist in our society. I want to wear pink and tell you how I feel about politics. I don’t think those things have to cancel each other out.”

-Taylor Swift

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
