Taylor Swift 美國鄉村音樂女創作歌手、吉他歌手、演員。她是我最喜歡鄉村女創作歌手，根據 Nielsen SoundScan，絲薇芙特在2008年總共賣出400萬份專輯，這使得她成為美國當年最暢銷音樂人。2010年1月31日，絲薇芙特以專輯《放手去愛》獲得第52屆葛萊美獎年度最佳專輯獎。

2010年1月，Nielsen SoundScan統計顯示絲薇芙特目前一共銷售超過243萬首數位歌曲，亦是音樂史上最高銷量的數位唱片歌手。

Taylor的專輯《Fearless》之前一共在告示牌專輯榜拿下11週冠軍，至今已賣出620萬張,全球已突破863萬張。即使是本屆葛萊美大贏家Robert Planet與Alison Krauss的得獎專輯有葛萊美得獎光環加持，仍不敵Taylor的威力，只能屈居亞軍。擁有亮眼外型與創作才華的Taylor被認為是從一群迪士尼偶像與選秀冠軍中殺出重圍的樂壇新希望，Taylor swift「國民小公主」的魅力正準備在全球開始蔓延。

2012年，Taylor的專輯《紅》，狂破美國首週專輯銷售、iTunes、告示牌3大紀錄！以120萬張的首週銷量，打破美國歌壇10年來的首週銷售紀錄，這是她繼2010年發行的「愛的告白」之後，第2張首週銷售破百萬專輯。

Taylor10歲就立志當歌手，13歲時父母為了達成Taylor的音樂夢想，舉家搬到美國音樂重地納什維爾，Taylor也成為Sony版權公司最年輕的簽約創作人。Taylor17歲發行首張「同名專輯」立刻一炮而紅，銷售突破超過400萬張，創下令多少天王天后望其項背的驚人成績，Taylor的創作才華更讓她入圍葛萊美最佳新人獎。她發行所有專輯總共超過1000萬張。

Taylor的MySpace博客已超過7600萬人次造訪，一共100萬人加入為好友，作品更是被點播超過1億6400萬次，連續兩年成為MySpace搜尋關鍵字冠軍，成為目前網路上最熱門的歌手。Taylor的歌曲一共付費下載 1100萬次，更創下史上第一人在一年之內連創 6 首發行首週空降前20名的紀錄。Taylor還接連成為《滾石雜誌》、《告示牌》、《Seventeen》、《Cosmo Girl》、《Teen Vogue》等雜誌的封面人物。

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance ( Blog Lyrics 西洋情歌 )

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

Chorus: And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

I hope you dance (dance), I hope you dance (dance)

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they're worth takin’

Lovin’ might be a mistake but it's worth makin’

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out, reconsider

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

I hope you dance.. (time is a wheel in constant motion always)

I hope you dance... (rolling us along)

I hope you dance...(tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)

I hope you dance.... (where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

dance (dance) (hold for 2 4 counts), I hope you dance (dance),

I hope you dance... (dance) (time is wheel in constant motion always)

I hope you dance...(rolling us along)

I hope you dance (dance) (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)

I hope you dance.. (dance)(where those years have gone)

tell me(dance) who wants to look back on their youth and wonder

where(dance) those years have gone

Lee Ann Womack 最能鼓舞“追求勇氣”之歌曲。

Martina McBride - Ride ( Blog Lyrics 西洋情歌 )

Yeah

You wake up from your dreamin' and you don't want to face the day

You can't find a reason to think your world will ever change

You can hide beneath the covers

Or you can run outside, head up high and carry on

Life is a roller coaster ride

Time turns the wheel and love collides

Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky

To shine while you have the chance to shine

Laugh even when you want to cry

Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride

It brings you up slowly then shoots you like a rocket towards the ground

It twists you and it shakes you before it turns you upside down

You can't see what's around the corner

And you can't look back, so just live it up and feel the rush

Life is a roller coaster ride

Time turns the wheel and love collides

Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky

So shine while you have the chance to shine

Laugh even when you want to cry

Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride

Ride, ride, yeah

Oh yeah, shine while you have the chance to shine

Laugh even when you want to cry

Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride

Ride, ride, yeah, yeah

Martina McBride - Blessed ( Blog Lyrics 西洋情歌 )

I get kissed by the sun each morning

Put my feet on a hardwood floor

I get to hear my children laughing

Down the hall through the bedroom door

Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing

Just soaking up the day

I think to myself, I think to myself

this world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed

And I feel like I've found my way

I thank God for all I've been given

At the end of every day

I have been blessed

With so much more than I deserve

To be here with the ones that love me

To love them so much it hurts

I have been blessed

Across a crowded room,

I know you know what I'm thinking

By the way I look at you

And when we're lying in the quiet and

no words have to be said

I think to myself, I think to myself

This love is a beautiful gift

Repeat Chorus

When I, when I'm singing my kids to sleep

When I feel you holding me

I know

Repeat Chorus
