Everyone’s talking about Taylor Swift

I’m pursuing further studies this year! Here’s the essay that landed me a spot in the master's program I applied for where I explored Taylor Swift's media influence and the unique connection she shares with her fanbase, analyzing the impact of her public persona on pop culture and the music industry.

Of pink bikes and orange summers

There I was one sunny afternoon in May, riding my pink bike and listening to Pedro Pascal read an essay about love. He wasn't reading it to me. I was aware of the many layers between his voice and my ears. The many recordings it must have taken to get a take worth using. Imagine the editing room where a technician had to splice his good takes and input the canned ads that were needed to make money out of a podcast. But as I listened to his soft yet powerful voice, fully aware of the distance between my ears and the speaker's lips, I still found myself lost in a world outside my own. Lost in the maze of cul-de-sacs and identical houses where I once wished I had lived.

To Another World

We transport ourselves to another dimension, the worries of the weekdays behind us, our phones ring from messages and calls from friends, family, and workmates, mixed with the noise from the city bustle, but we ignore it with only the two of us on each other’s minds.

The Summer's Last Sunset

We knew it would end. Like the seasons, our feelings were fleeting.
Each year, a different hue, a different kind of feeling.
We knew it since we were young.
