Taylor Swift’s ‘majorie’ is the most sentimental as it was inspired by Swift’s late grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, an opera singer who encouraged her to pursue music. Swift stills like her grandmother is “still around” and still feels like she is “talking to me [her] now.” While she may be gone, Swift still feels her presence and give her advice of “Never be so polite, you forget your power/ Never wield such power, you forget to be polite.” These important words are what she remembers of her grandmother, and though she wishes she had kept even the grocery receipts she had from her, we are all touched by the sentiment of the song. We each have someone we wish we could have back even for a second, and who we wish is listening to us, so this is a nice reminder of that person during a trying holiday season.
