10 Awesome Taylor Swift Songs That Aren't About Guys

2. Never Grow Up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq34Zy0s1mA What It's About: Saying Goodbye To Childhood and Becoming An Adult In second place is Never Grow Up, a song that shows Taylor in a different light, as instead of taking the role of a girlfriend, she portrays herself as both a sister and a daughter. Never Grow Up is a personal and endearing journey that tells of the sibling relationship between Taylor and her younger brother Austin Swift. She describes the stages of watching her brother grow older, showing the passage of time by beginning the song with her tucking him in and watching him sleep as a young child, before describing how he starts to mature and becomes less dependent on Taylor while wanting to spend more time with his friends and move out to his own place. The phrase €œNever Grow Up€ can be seen as both a plea to her sibling because she cannot bare the feeling of no longer being needed, but also a reminder that time is precious and the days of running free as a kid without a care in the world are short. The song is particularly emotional because not only does it describe the feeling of time slipping away from you, but it relates to her own experience of suddenly finding independence and adulthood. Taylor reminds her younger fans that the harshness of real life and responsibility creeps in a lot sooner than you think, so you should treasure the little time you have being young .
