Taylor Swift's Other Dream


She said the only other thing she'd want to be doing if she wasn't making music is, "Being a mom full time, doing everything for my kids, having a bunch of them," she says of her future aspirations. "That's the only other thing that could be as thrilling for me as doing this."*

Being a full time mom, doing everything for her children and having a bunch of them would be thrilling for her! She thinks it would be as thrilling as being a number one singing artist known all around the world with a ton of money. She understands the value of motherhood.  There is no greater job in the world in spite of what our society has told women.

The women's rights movement started because women were unsatisfied being full-time moms and raising children. Women were told they would be much happier if they were able to get out of the house and have full-time careers. This hasn't seemed to satisfy many women. It just causes their lives to be a lot harder.

 I love it that Taylor is willing to openly admit her desire to be a mother and as much as she sings about love, it sure seems like she is looking for love.

 I like Taylor Swift. She seems to be keeping her gentleness and kindness through her fame. I saw one interview with her recently and she admitted that she didn't know how to do love. I think the most important thing she needs to focus on is choosing the right man, a solid man who loves God, works hard, and keeps his commitments AND becoming a wife who will love and respect her husband without trying to change or control him.

 Then she needs to learn that love is commitment. It has nothing to do with feelings because feelings will come and go. Love is a lot of work. It takes a lot of forgetting about yourself and learning to love and serve your husband. I pray she will learn that lesson soon so she can have the desires of her heart.

She would be a great role model to society if she found an amazing husband,  had an incredible marriage, and lots of children. Now that would be fun to watch!

Teach the young women to be sober,
to love their husbands, to love their children...

Thank you for sharing this. I haven't really listened to mainstream music in 20 years. I recently heard Angie Smith raving about her new album, so I purchased it. There are so few mainstream role models these days for girls.

That WOULD be fun to watch! She is such a talented, beautiful girl and such a good example for younger girls compared to the other choices out there. I hadn't heard that quote before but that just makes me love her even more. :)

There's nothing wrong with a woman who wants to work outside the home and have children. Also, there's nothing wrong with a woman who doesn't want to have children. In the same respect, there's nothing wrong with a woman who does want to stay at home and raise her children. In my opinion, the women's rights movement has given women the choice of what they want to do: they can be stay at home moms, which is awesome, they can work outside the home, which is also awesome. And, women can choose to do both and switch between the two throughout their lives, which is fantastic. It's important not to judge any women for their choices regarding working outside the home or staying at home with their kids.

My mum started working when I started school, she was a great mother and we never wanted for anything. Working mothers can and are dedicated mums too, they are not lesser mums because they work and they shouldn't be seen that way by those who are at home. I love my children as much as you even though I also work. We are all full time mothers, even when we get old and our children have families of their own. That title never leaves us.

I just linked to this through Growing Home and thought you might be interested to hear Kevin Swanson's radio show from yesterday which was on Taylor Swift: https://generationswithvision.com/

Thank you for the link, Stephanie. I am sorry to hear the lyrics to her new album are so bad. I had heard she wanted to save her virginity until marriage but if her lyrics are true, I am not so sure it is important to her. I was just writing on her statement of wanting to be a full-time mother. We do need to be very careful what we allow our children to listen to.

My first time to visit and it's an interesting post. I hope Taylor Swift makes good choices so she will be happy and not get married and divorced again and again like other famous people. It is so sad to think that the wonderful gift God gave them would also be the reason so many doors were open and they chose the wrong ones. Patsy

I'd like to see her say how "thrilling" it is when she has been stuck inside the house for days (if not weeks) on end with two whiny, crabby sick children. AFTER she has not only spent years coming and going as she pleased, but traveling around the world and AFTER she gets to see her husband go out into the world ALL DAY with GROWNUPS. I'd like to see her say this AFTER she realizes that she can't even go to the bathroom without an audience. (Sure, she is used to performing in front of an audience, but not that.)
