TOC #117: I Bet You Think About Me
(Mar 21, 2023) What Taylor Swift Can Teach Us About Writing Better Copy
I bet you think about me.
I bet you think about me when you’re out at your ~cool indie music~ concerts every week.
And I bet you think about me in your house, with your organic shoes and your million-dollar couch.
And I bet you think about me when they say “oh my god, she’s insane, she wrong a song about me.”
Yeah, I bet you think about me.
You know what else I’d bet?
That anyone who has interacted with me in any capacity over the past 4 days would be able to tell that I just went to the Taylor Swift concert (!!!!!), because I have been singing her songs nonstop.
(Well, actually, I always do that, but… that’s neither here nor there.)
While listening to “I Bet You Think About Me” for the 487th time this morning, I thought to myself:
“Taylor is such a slay.”
I mean, come on. You’re entitled to your own opinions about this woman, but you can’t argue that she truly is an iconic genius. Like, it's simply an objective fact.
She is the QUEEN of using the things other people say about her as ammo for writing the most memorable lines—the lines you hear and immediately understand, almost like she’s sharing an inside joke with all of us.
And, today, I’m going to try to make my girl proud & teach you how to do the same.
What Taylor Swift Can Teach Us About Writing Better Copy
If you've been subscribed to my newsletter for a while, you know that I love to use the events of my daily life as copywriting tips, and with Taylor the only thing on my mind right now, of course I had to give her her MOMENT in the Table of Contents.
Swifties, you're gonna love this one.
Non-Swifties, you don't need to know a single one of her songs to benefit from reading these copywriting tips.
Click the button below to read what our queen has to teach us about writing the best copy—and how you can implement them NOW in your website copy… Taylor & I have got you covered.
(This post is also a great example of how you can use *any* event from your life as content, because there really are no rules when it comes to creating newsletters and blogs for your business. Just a lil side note for ya if you've been “but-idk-what-to-write-about”-ing your way out of content marketing.)
& that's all she wrote—now she's OOO.
If you need me, I'll be frolicking around Scottsdale, soaking up the sunshine, and spamming my Close Friends story with outfits that can only be described as “tits out for Taylor” and sneak previews of my new ass tat.
(Just kidding, I'm doing client work this whole time. But I'm absolved of my parental duties for the week and there is some sunshine and definitely frolicking involved, and I did have my tits out for Taylor, and I did get an ass tat, so.)
& by the way—if you're hoping to look I'm now accepting new website copywriting, sales page, and email marketing projects beginning in May of 2023–and I'd love to work with you! Click the button below to inquire. 🎉
