MY NAME IS AMAYA GRACE Montgomery. I am 7 years old and going into the second grade.
And I am a Swiftie.
That means I am a big Taylor Swift fan. I first heard Taylor Swift when I was just one year old. Back then my favorite song was "Shake It Off." Now it's "Cruel Summer" on her album Lover.
But Taylor Swift isn't just a good musician. Taylor Swift is a role model for girls like me. That's why I'm writing this: My mom read me something that said that Taylor is not a good role model. That really upset me. So, I wanted to talk for little girls and explain why we don't agree.
