Taylor Swift Figurative Language

Throughout “Love Should Grow up Like an Wild Iris in the Fields” Susan Griffin provokes the readers to think twice about why they consistently enslave themselves with the burden of daily monotony, instead of enjoying the simplicity of love. Griffin uses two metaphors in her poem when describing love, as a flower, as well as the iris of an eye. Her comparisons are both interesting as well as accurate.

Anytime someone takes a complicated emotion and simplifies it so I know it like I know the ABC’s, my heart wells with pride and admiration with an intensity that's slightly embarrassing. The album is uniquely defining for me mainly because it fits into so many aspects of life. Although it has a seemingly shallow message about her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles, I have always thought of it as slightly deeper. With lyrics like “This love is alive back from the dead” and “Take my hand and don’t ever drop it, my love” I relate it to daily life. One song describes a time when all you want to do is hide, but the next track describes something beautiful and lovely. Just like one day the storms are raging everywhere I go, but the next God has cleared the skies and created something lovely. The album taught me to not be ashamed of who I am or what I believe, so for that I owe Swift big time. Finally, I recently fell in love with writing songs and at 1989’s core it's just the result of great songwriting. Songwriting does for me what punching someone does for someone

The poem “Fight” by Laurel Blossom is full of poetic devices that help develop the theme. In the poem, Blossom is writing about how she and her lover are very different (opposite), and how her lover is more prepared and she is more of a free spirit. The summary very directly correlates with the theme, which is that opposites attract. Although the author is having troubles with the differences between her and her lover, she is trying to overlook them to be with her lover. The poem has a plethora of poetic devices, such as imagery, assonance, and rhyming words, therefore helping the theme.

She is a 10 time Grammy award winner, and among the five artists to ever win a Grammy for album of the year she is the only female to ever win more than once. Her hit song “You Belong with Me” resonated with millions of young girls many of which connected with the lines “If you could see/ That I’m the one /Who understands you/ Been here all along/ So why can’t you see/ You belong with me”. She turns ordinary teenage girl experiences into fresh country and pop songs. She grew up fascinated by music which led to her success as a Country/Pop artist. She constantly strives to make sure that her fame does not get in the way of her truly being herself. Taylor does not read into any of the articles about her in magazines to avoid getting caught up in all the gossip that publicity spreads about her. Taylor has made a huge impact on music industry, from selling out Madison Square Garden, to record breaking songs and albums. Award winning singer and song writer Taylor Swift, is still forming her legacy as she continues to make history in the music industry, while garnering a large fan base worldwide.

The main purpose of Beyoncé’s songs is to emphasise feminism and invigorate gender equality through her lyrics. She does so by using by conveying feminist philosophy in her lyrics. In Run the World, Beyoncé sings “strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business.” Figurative language is used to express be that women give birth however then after they proceed to work. Throughout the song used is both repetition and rhetorical question as this is how Beyoncé portrays the women empowerment theme, domination as well as confidence in her tone whilst preaching the line “Girls, we run this motha (yeah!)” and “Who run the world? Girls!”. Having expressed the line “My persuasion can build he nation” Beyoncé is building women up by speaking

Or perhaps the real artist, Taylor Swift’s purpose is to show the audience how ridiculous is the media image that has been created on her. It is a warning for both boys and girls, primarily those who are hoping to attract love from boys that love is perpetuated by its tortuousness. It is painful if boys will lose interest, that is Swift’s warning. The song revolves around a message for girls: do not be a daydream dressed like a daydream; do not be a nightmare dressed like a nightmare; do not find out what kind of a girl he wants and be like that forever, do not be heaven, do not be nice, do not be magic, never be too plain or perfect and good. You can also add torture to love and bring darkness to light, it is all about the

The lyrics can make one happy, confused, or relate to Swift’s situation. This appeal to pathos is used in different ways here. Whenever one sees the scene with Swift holding the cat, it forces them to emote and feel terrible or sad for the cat because it is adorable and by extension for the person holding it. Also, Swift sums up all that has been said about her in one climatic boy crazy video. The video’s setting resembles that of a fairy tale where all is well, but then Swift goes into a fit of anger after her supposed one true love hurts her. Throughout her video, she tries to tell young women that boys are dumb and can break their hearts to the point that they go crazy after a breakup and that is okay as long as they do not go

The age fifteen is often mentioned in Taylor Swift’s “Fifteen” and Five for Fighting’s “100 Years” because of its effect and importance towards one’s future. The songwriters use the age not only comparing it to the years of a human’s life, but instead referring to the age when one aspires to live in a romantic fairy tale. In this stage of one’s life, they transition between the innocence of childhood toward to the maturity of adulthood. One is not yet fully developed, or independent, but are still gaining new knowledge. Fifteen, an illusion created by preconceived ideas, is focused on through song to display when one discovers or questions their identity.

A break up song by Taylor Swift, and one of the most important document ever written for the U.S.A, The declaration of Independence and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, friends vs troops with the substantial time transition, change, as well as freedom. After you develop an understanding of the Declaration of Independence you realize it’s a very well written breakup song from Britain. The similarities in these pieces are hidden by complicated wording and a quite substantial era gap makes it even more difficult to notice how similar they actually are, one being based in 1776 and the other in 2014. In Taylor Swift’s catchy song “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together” this stanza embodies that he is sending his friends to hopefully get in her head and she’ll give in.

Fidelline sighed to her best friend. It’s been a month since that nightmare came for Arrietta. Every time they went to go karaoke, broken-hearted song from Taylor Swift always be picked by Arrietta. Even one day Fidelline was bursting into laugh when there was one song that the first lyric was,

In musical superstar Taylor Swift’s music video for her song “Blank Space,” she is portraying herself as the high maintenance and dramatic girlfriend that the media believes she is. The speaker of this text is the media’s perception of Taylor Swift and her message is about the disconnect between who Swift really is and who the media sees her as. I believe Swift has two purposes for this music video. One is for her character in the music video to warn her audience about the type of love that boys want, and the other for real life Taylor herself to poke holes into the media’s concept of her love life. The video is filled with satire and paradoxes to convince us that our idea of Taylor Swift is not an accurate opinion of her.

The song “Hold Me” by Jamie Grace has over 18 million views on YouTube. When looking at the denotation of the poem and then understanding the figurative language in the song, you begin to understand what the author is trying to convey. The format of the song helps the audience better understand the tone shifts and the lyrics meaning.

She is confounded when confronted with the fact that she herself had set up the scenario in which her fiancé could meet in a lover’s tryst with her exquisite young friend. The story shifts gears, evolving completely from innocence to anguished experience. The moment that permanently leaves innocence behind, the final line, is near. There is a moment of sudden clarity, described so well by Wharton as the setting and the story merge: “the sky curved crystal clear, without light or color. It was the moment when afternoon and evening hang balanced in midheaven” (127).

Since 2008- the present day (2015), people have been listening to her wonderful songs. Two of her most notable songs are: Rolling in the Deep and Set Fire to the Rain. They both spotlight her love life and figurative language she writes on the page. She uses figurative language but doesn’t stray from three of her most used types. She usually uses metaphors, idioms, and hyperboles.

The song basically describes the “perfect date” and all these emotions that are “supposed” to be felt to indicate that you love the person. The artist adds classical elements and modern-day elements to her song making it more relatable to teens and also causing them to remember memories of when they were kids watching “Snow White” and wishing one day they will be that princess. The artist keeps repeating that this
