Surprise! Lewat akun Instagram-nya, Taylor Swift mengumumkan bahwa malam ini waktu Amerika Serikat ia akan meluncurkan single sekaligus video klip yang berjudul ME! Nggak sendirian, di lagu ini Taylor juga akan berduet dengan Brendon Urie, pendiri sekaligus satu-satunya personel asli yang masih bertahan di grup band Panic! At The Disco.
Sebenarnya Taylor sempat memberikan kode keras dari beberapa hari sebelumnya bahwa ia akan merilis lagu baru pada Jumat ini. Lewat sebuah wawancara singkat dengan ABC, kekasih Joe Alwyn tersebut memberikan sedikit bocoran tentang lagu barunya. “Lagu ini tentang menerima dirimu dan merayakannya.” Well, sepertinya Taylor akan bicara banyak tentang self-love dan self-acceptance di lagu ini.
Tapi Taylor memang bukan ‘orang baru’ ketika bicara tentang isu penerimaan diri. Bahkan, ia sudah sering memberikan kata-kata yang sanggup mengubah cara berpikir banyak anak muda tentang bagaimana mencintai diri sendiri. Sambil menunggu lagunya rilis, coba kita baca lagi kutipan dari Taylor, yuk!
"We don’t need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful."
"I never want to change so much that people can't recognize me."
"Just be yourself, there is no one better."
"In a relationship each person should support the other; they should lift each other up."
"My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time."
"Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy."
"I’ve learned that you can’t predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card."
"Knowing who you are and being independent and strong will be attractive to the right guy."
"Never never never compare yourself to the beautiful girls. There’s always someone gorgeous who will make you feel like you’re not. It’s total confidence buster."
"Be that strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst, be that fearless girl, the one who would dare to do anything, be that independent girl, who didn’t need a man; be that girl who never backed down."
"Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak, sometimes you’re just strong enough to let go."
"Never believe anyone who tells you that you don’t deserve what you want."
"We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls, gets broken."
"You are not somebody else's opinion of you."
Itu dia kumpulan quotes dari Taylor Swift untuk kamu yang mungkin sekarang sedang merasa terpuruk atau nggak percaya dengan diri sendiri. Ingat, nggak ada yang sempurna di dunia ini.
Hmm.. jadi makin nggak sabar dengar lagu barunya Taylor. Kita nantikan bersama ya, Bela!
