Feelin’ 33: Taylor Swift songs about different ages 

by Athena Yap

AVID Swifties surely know it’s Taylor Swift Day every 13th of December, and the pop phenomenon just turned 33.

The Grammy-award winning singer and songwriter has proved her popularity, and millennials and Gen Zs are so hooked and connected to almost every song she releases.

She is known for mirroring the sadness and heartbreaks of the generations through her lyrics and tunes.

There are also many times when her songs mention ages and talk about what people feel and experience during those years. 

So let’s look back at these years through the songs of the one and only Taylor Swift as she celebrates her birthday.
