Taylor Swift recently announced that after her 1989 tour she is going to take a break. In a interview in NME magazine, Swift’s reason for the break, “I think I should take some time off. I think people might need a break from me. I’m going to… I don’t know. Hang out with my friends. Write new music. Maybe not write new music. I don’t know.” This lead to great controversy not only to people outside of Academy, but to many of the girls in it.

I SWEAR IF TAYLOR ( SWIFT) TAKES A BREAK FROM MUSIC AND TOURING I'M GOING TO CRY. AND PROBABLY DIE INSIDE.

Academy girls reactions ranged from..

Understanding:

“I’m a little sad to hear about Taylor taking a break, but I definitely understand because she is always such a hard worker and everyone needs a break every once in awhile.” Elizabeth Benjamin 11

Mad:

“WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITHOUT TAYLOR SINGING TO ME ABOUT HER BOY PROBLEMS??? I FEEL LIKE WE ARE FRIENDS THROUGH HER MUSIC!!” Miranda Plummer 12

Confused:

“I’m actually very shocked she’s doing that. I feel bad for all her fans since it wasn’t really expected. But I understand that everyone needs a break sometimes.”Alisha Sanchez 10

Happy:

“I think it’s good news that she’s taking a break. Maybe after her break she can come up with better music.” Caroline Lamoutte 12

No matter what AHN girls think about Swift’s break, there is no changing this pop star’s mind. TTYL Taylor, you will be missed.
