What is TSS you ask? Well, it stands for Taylor Swift Syndrome. Unfortunately, with the impending release of her third studio album Speak Now, this condition has worsened and I have taken to my blog to find support during these difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>To be more specific, TSS is officially defined (by my friend Sarina) as the delusion that results from listening to TSwizzle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s music. The symptoms of the syndrome include feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside and becoming unreasonably optimistic about love and life. As a self-proclaimed pessimist, I find my status as a victim of TSS to be extremely disturbing.<\/p>\n<p>Though I had hoped that my condition would be temporary and that the poor quality of Speak Now would help ease my troubles, it seems that the exact opposite has occurred. If you thought that the songs on Fearless were insanely catchy, then be ready to have Speak Now on repeat. Here is a breakdown of a few of the songs from the album:<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Permanent Marker<\/strong>: Has a Should\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve Said No vibe to it, but this time she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s singing to the dude\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ex instead of being the ex.<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Mine:<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You made a rebel of a careless man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s careful daughter\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Perfect.<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Innocent<\/strong>: So-so song about Kanyegate 09. West\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s song (Runaway) was better in my opinion.<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Back to December<\/strong>: Allegedly about Tay-Tay\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s relationship with Taylor Lautner. Out of all the tracks released thus far, this one leaves a lot to be desired. The verses and the chorus are pretty weak.<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Speak Now (aka My guilty pleasure track):<\/strong> Girl tries to stop boy from getting married. They live happily ever after. Cheesy? I think not.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be counting down the minutes till the album is released on October 25th. Will you?
