As avid Taylor Swift fans, we’ve noticed that over the course of her career, Tay-Tay tends to repeat several key phrases throughout her body of work. Rumor has it that when she’s writing her songs, T-Swizzle has resorted to simply filling an antique teapot with such phrases (written in calligraphy on Kate Spade stationery, of course), giving it a swirl, and going with whatever comes out the spout. However, we at Her Campus Kenyon have a more structured approach to songwriting. We have assembled an easy-fill-in-the-Blank-Space guide to becoming the next golden-haired songbird and aspiring real-estate mogul.
