This One Tweet Describes Taylor Swift's Whole 2015

by Michelle Lulic

When you think of celebrities in 2015, odds are one specific person that comes to mind is Taylor Swift. 2015 was basically the year of Taylor Swift. Between the overwhelming amount of praise pouring in for her album 1989, the introduction of her award show-stopping "squad," and her celebrity guest-filled world tour, nothing has been preventing this country-turned-pop songstress from taking over the music industry. It's been hard to avoid her music playing on every radio station, her name popping up on every award show, and her face appearing in every magazine and tabloid. This year she was on fire, and this one Taylor Swift tweet sums up her year perfectly.

And the year's not over yet! With the Dec. 7, release of Grammy nominations, Swift's 1989 album has managed to score her nominations in categories including: Best Pop Vocal Album, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. Other major prestige you can assign Swift in 2015 includes: Video of the Year, Best Female Video, and Best Pop Video at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards; multiple awards including Top Artist at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards; and even the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Artist. She stood up for indie artists everywhere when it came to iTunes. She started dating Calvin Harris. She was everything. So, how do you sum up all of the amazing-ness that was Taylor Swift in 2015?

I decided to look through all of Swift's tweets from this year, and one in particular stood out. This tweet from this past September is perfect.

Why, you may ask? Because it narrows down the truth of Swift's larger-than-life year in one simple snap. Despite all of the romance gossip she had to put up with in regards to her relationship with Calvin Harris, or her unforgettable feud with Nicki Minaj, she stayed true to herself. Yes, she's a huge celebrity with millions of fans around the world and a posh apartment in New York City. But, in the end, she's really only done one thing: focused on her music.

With a world tour that began in Japan in May and lasted up until December, she has been performing non-stop. She took on the United States and Australia. She missed the American Music Awards because she was filming her latest music video. She has been constantly busy. With her career.

Yes, she may have had fun girls' nights at her place, or spent the Fourth of July with her boyfriend (I mean, we all need to take breaks sometimes), but that hasn't distracted her from her work. She's too busy putting smiles on fans' faces or working on her next project to waste time with tabloid rumors. She's just doing what she was meant to do: work on her music. And that's really what Taylor Swift's 2015 was all about in one succinct tweet from the queen herself.
