It's me, hi. I'm the problem; it's me.
Kia ora koutou my fellow Swifties and all those who have not accepted her into your heart (yet)
What. A. Night. My ears are still ringing. I’m still buzzing. My wristband is still glowing ominously. What a show. Truly an extravaganza.
In honour of Miss Americana herself, I’ve got a quiz full of songs that can be linked to Taylor Swift…one of which may actually be a Taylor Swift song.
Please use the below format to send your answers to thelyricsquiz@gmail.com by 3pm Friday (NZ time). I’m still in Melbourne until Tuesday afternoon, so I won’t be answering your emails until Wednesday.

And I will climb that hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the tree line and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you’ve said today
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling

I'm fed up with crying
My despair is dying
Turning into rage, day by day
Green before you met me
In the pink when you let me love you
I was blue when you let me down
Black and blue
When my baby's walking down the street

And I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only doin' good when I'm havin' fun
And I don't have to please no one

And if walk up and down on the Blue Sky Mine
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
And some have sailed from a distant shore
(And the company takes what the company wants)
And nothing's as precious as a hole in the ground
Who's gonna save me?

Though time has made us change
And I understand if you don't
Want to talk to me about it tonight
Oh, tonight
'Cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
Time was overtaking me
And I guess I was confused

Pack up and leave everything
Don't you see what I can bring?
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
Set my midnight sorrow free
I will give you all of me
Just leave your lover, leave him for me
