She Fascinates Me
By all accounts, Taylor Swift is a kind, gracious, stable young lady. But I've noticed something odd over the last several years. She keeps changing her appearance every couple of weeks, as if she is looking for something she will never find. She regularly changes hairdo, hair color, brows, eye treatment, lips, lipstick color, and for a little while she is a new version of herself. Put in another way, there is no Taylor Swift.
There must be, somewhere, a mountain of discarded lipsticks and eyebrow pencils, abandoned versions of Taylor Swift. See for yourself: Google some Taylor Swift images from over the years and compare them.You'll see blonde, copper, streaked, and brunette hair; black-lined eyes that look like rat-holes, a fresh clean face, hair bobs and bangs, natural lips and fat lips that rival Angelina Jolie's.
I haven't the faintest idea why she does this. Is she dissatisfied with her looks? Is she searching for a self? Is she trying to appeal to new audiences? Does she fear she's boring? I just don't know. I hope she finds what she is looking for, but I doubt that she will. She's not a particularly good musician; shouting songs is no substitute for vocal skills. Maybe she wants to divert us from that underlying weakness.
One of the oddities in all this is that the young woman who probably spends more time objectifying herself than any other woman in the entire world doesn't seem to incur the wrath of feminists. I believe that feminists want women to be seen as whole persons, not as objects. But here's Taylor Swift, devoting a large part of every day turning herself into a series of objects. I wonder why feminists haven't put her at the top of their list of bad examples.
What robs a woman of her real beauty is emptiness. No perfection of features can help a woman who hasn't much to offer within herself, whether it is intelligence, wisdom, command, maternal love, or sense of who she is. Empty little girls come and go across the musical and entertainment stage but women who have a rich interior self, intelligence and grace, only grow more handsome as they age, and end up utterly beautiful.
My hope for Miss Swift is that some day, as she weathers life, she will be beautiful.
