It’s time for another instalment of my Sounds of Me series! Today, we’re entering into the painfully awkward years of early secondary school and believe me, it’s cringe AF. From hiding my love of Kylie Minogue and my trauma over Steps breaking up to discovering the world of emo music, it all happens. Awkward AF… Continue reading The Awkward AF Early Teenage Years | Sounds of Me Part 2

Childhood Bangers | Sounds of Me Part 1
It’s time for a brand new series of posts, and they’re all about music and nostalgia (don’t worry, they won’t be completely centred around Taylor Swift, either). I’ve been inspired by a fellow writer within the creative community to create this post, and that’s the fantastic Dom G. Dom is a published poet who writes… Continue reading Childhood Bangers | Sounds of Me Part 1
Tay-Tay Top Five: Taylor Swift
So, we find ourselves back at the very beginning. Today’s Tay-Tay Top Five is focusing on Taylor Swift’s debut album, aptly titled Taylor Swift. As of today, we’re equals pequals in this series, although I hope by the time this gets posted we get some sort of update on what the next Taylor’s Version recording… Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: Taylor Swift
Tay-Tay Top Five: Fearless
Okay, so before I get into this I want to clarify something. Today, I’m talking about the initial release of Fearless. I appreciate that we have recently seen the release of Fearless (Taylor’s Version), and I admit right off the bat that it is far superior than this one. However, I felt it was still… Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: Fearless
Tay-Tay Top Five: 1989
It’s time to churn out another edition of my Tay-Tay Top Five, and today it’s all about the album that I have the biggest emotional connection to - 1989. The 1989 album was one that I discovered in the run-up to my wedding and it’s the album that turned me into a full-blown Swiftie. I… Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: 1989
Tay-Tay Top Five: Reputation
It’s time for another Tay-Tay Top Five! I feel as though Reputation has well... a bad reputation compared to Taylor’s other albums. It was released following all the public feuds with the likes of Kanye West, Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian; and while the Swifties themselves loved it (myself included), it was snubbed in general… Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: Reputation
Tay-Tay Top Five: Lover
It’s been a while since I launched my Tay-Tay Top Five series, but today I’m determined to pick things up again with my top picks from the Lover album. I’ve always said that 1989 has a real personal meaning for me (more on that later), but I think Lover definitely earns the title of my… Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: Lover
Tay-Tay Top Five: Folklore
While Lover will always be my favourite Taylor Swift album, there’s no denying that Folklore is an absolute masterpiece. I’ve lost count of how many listens I’ve given it over since it was released in mid-2020, so I thought now would be a good time to talk about my favourite songs on the album. I… Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: Folklore
2019 in Review
I can’t believe we’re officially coming to the end of 2019. It only feels like yesterday I was writing my 2018 in Review post, which just so happened to be my first ever post on Sassy Cat Lady. It’s so cliché to say that the time has flown by, but it really has done this… Continue reading 2019 in Review
My Christmas Playlist
As my regular readers will know, most of my playlists on Spotify consist of Taylor Swift, Disney songs and music featured in Grey’s Anatomy. However, I have a Christmas playlist that I crack out every year when I’m putting up the tree, wrapping presents and just generally wanting to get in the festive spirit. While… Continue reading My Christmas Playlist
