My 'Trouble' With Taylor Swift, Lincoln Portrait, Yoga in South Windsor

Good morning, South Windsor! Today is Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013; there are 327 days left in the year.

Friends, I have never been more conflicted than I am today.

As you know, I think Taylor Swift is the greatest musician in the history of history. I love the Tay Tay. She’s just a li’l darlin’.

(Standard South Windsor Patch Disclaimer regarding Taylor Swift: There is absolutely nothing creepy at all to have a crush on a woman 20 years my junior. Nope. Nothing creepy at all. Move along. Nothing to see here.)

But the problem is that I now have a 9-year-old stepdaughter who caught one of Tay Tay’s earworm songs and hums it incessantly.

It’s not that my daughter doesn’t have a nice voice. She does. It’s just different hearing “I Knew You Were Trouble” sung by Swift versus hummed for three straight hours by someone who doesn’t even know that she’s doing it.

I’m. Going. Nuts.

Here’s your Daily 5:
