As if creating her own music videos and clothing wasn't enough, Taylor also created her own music festival. Instead of doing a Lover tour in 2020, Taylor has crafted her very own Lover Fest, which will include musical appearances from some of her famous friends.

She Gave Us More Glimpses of Her Personal Life

As any Swiftie knows, Taylor expresses herself best through song, and her Lover album gave us even more rare glimpses into her personal life. While Taylor's Reputation album included tongue-in-cheek songs about her public persona, her Lover album was the complete opposite. Of course, there were songs about her romance with Joe Alwyn, but she also showed a more vulnerable side as she opened up about her mom Andrea's battle with cancer. She even touched on mental health as she talked about her overbearing anxiety in the album's prologue letter.

She Learned to Let Go of the Past

Those same themes of letting go of the past and moving on from drama continuously pop up in her Lover album as well. In the opening track, "I Forgot That You Existed," she talks about brushing off the naysayers, and in the closing song, "Daylight," she talks about wanting to be remembered for the things she loves rather than the things she hates or is afraid of.

She Played by Her Own Rules

As if creating her own music videos and clothing wasn't enough, Taylor also created her own music festival. Instead of doing a Lover tour in 2020, Taylor has crafted her very own Lover Fest, which will include musical appearances from some of her famous friends.

She Had Some Big Achievements

Following the release of her Lover album, Taylor dethroned A Star Is Born as the bestselling album of 2019, earning 500,000 sales by its second day alone.
Taylor will also be the guest of honor at the 2019 American Music Awards as she takes home the artist of the decade award for the impact she has made on pop music.

She Spoke Up About Issues She Was Passionate About

In addition to urging her fans to vote, Taylor also spoke up about LGBTQ+ rights. She donated $113,000 to the Tennessee Equality Project, she used her performances as an opportunity to show her support for the LGBTQ+ community, and she even created a Change.org petition in an effort to pass the Equality Act.
She also voiced her support for the LGBTQ+ community through her song "You Need to Calm Down." Not only does the music video make reference to the GLAAD organization and pride parades, but it's also a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community with rainbow imagery and numerous cameos from LGBTQ+ stars.

She Took Ownership of Her Music

Though her music catalog now belongs to Scooter, Taylor eventually revealed that she plans to rerecord her first five albums in an attempt to own the masters to her original music. "My contract says starting from November 2020, I can start rerecording albums one through five," she told Robin Roberts on Good Morning America in August. "I think artists deserve to own their own work. It's next year — I'm gonna be busy."
