Tay's Anatomy
I hate to blog and here is why. I post a blog about what is going on in my life and I get comments that are so hateful and cruel that I can't bare the thought of reading them. I am fully aware of my grammatical errors and I am truly trying to get better. I am embarrassed sometimes that I don't always know the correct way to punctuate.
I have found myself in a slump over the past few months and I can't seem to get out of it. I have laid in my apartment, defeated, and and when I finally get in front of the computer to put my thoughts out there I read that someone wants to "gut me" and I shut down. I can't even tell you how much that hurts.
I feel like the hate is becoming so much more evident and I don't know what to do. I get up most days and try to not let negative people break my spirit. I love to laugh and smile (not a creepy one, the only one I have, because it is honest). I love to work on this great show and share my experiences thus far but it has finally beaten me. I hear people when they judge me and read about it when they post nasty messages. Today is one of those days when I have had to read about it. I am so sad and upset that I feel like I had to address it. I wish I had thicker skin so that other people's opinions don't affect me, but I don't.
My heart is racing and I am sick to my stomach thinking about everything I have just read. Do you know the feeling you get when you find out your partner is cheating or when you mess up so bad the thought of disappearing seems like your only option? I don't know what to do anymore but I am tired of feeling this way. It seems like no matter what I say or do I am constantly criticized for it. Yes, I take pride in my appearance and like to feel pretty. I am not always successful at it but I try. I don't understand why this is such a bad thing. Why does that make me shallow?
Do you ever regret an impression you have made on people? I'm talking about the kind that makes you look back and wish you had never opened your mouth. Well, over the past year I have been given an amazing opportunity and I feel like I am screwing everything up. I'm so new at this and I work with people who have been doing it forever and they're SO good.
I am not trying to defend myself or come off as a victim as much as I am wanting to open up and grow. I am 23 and feel like the mistakes I make are all learning experiences.
If you look at my childhood you would probably say it seemed ideal. If you got to know me, you would learn that it was just as screwed up and had problems just like anyone else. I have in the past put myself in stupid situations. I have not always had the best judgment. Sometimes I have misunderstood what I'm being told. So what! I am learning from all of it. Find me someone you think is "perfect" and I'll show you someone you don't know very well. We all have flaws. I have plenty. We all have secrets, and quirky qualities but that to me that is what makes people beautiful. I was raised to be self-aware physically and always keep up appearances. I am going through this self discovery and just now realizing that inner beauty lasts so much longer. I have always been weight conscious and insecure about my body. In my defense, find me a 23-year old girl who isn't. I sometimes resent that I have been able to hide behind my appearance and that I haven't had to show people that I have a brain and feelings. Sometimes I blame my parents but they tried their best and now here I am desperately trying to figure all this out on my own. I know that it is much more appealing to be self-deprecating and self-critical. I don't understand that. They say my generation is full of fake self esteem and we have no reason to be proud. Why? Maybe what we lack in self-awareness we make up for in positive attitude. Not just about ourselves but others too. Maybe?
Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine who also happens to be somewhat of a mentor. She took the time to explain to me a concept I have been completely clueless about. This was so enlightening that it broke my heart that I had missed this lesson somehow.
When I told her about missing my flight, She said that I should have been at the airport earlier. I said, "Are you serious? It wasn't my fault the parking garage was full and the security line that I was standing in was shut down for 10 minutes so they could inspect a bottle of hairspray!" So, instead of taking responsibility for missing my plane. I was trying to explain to her it wasn't anyone's fault and I was an hour early and I had just run on some bad luck. She stopped to hear me out and listened to me go on and on about the parking and what happened at security. then she asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks. She said, "Is it possible it was your fault?"
It hit me like a ton of bricks. What the hell? Why did I think my justification took away the responsibility and blame? I finally get it. What she said finally clicked for me. It was MY fault. All those other people made the plane. How about a little personal responsibility?
When she finally said, "Taylor, admit it you messed up and you have no excuse for missing the plane," it sounded so negative and I didn't want to hear it. It made me feel like a failure and a disappointment. I think I was reflecting back on all my other screw-ups so it was hard to hear what I realized was the truth.
This doesn't mean I am a bad person, it's just being honest with myself and saying it is no ones fault but my own. I can't always plan for my mistakes but I know now that learning from them means taking full responsibility accepting the consequences. The flight situation was not the biggest deal in the world but I have nearly lost my credibility when it comes to being on time so it was pretty important.
I can't say much more than this today and I am not sure this makes sense but this is what is pressing against my heart so hard that it's all I could write.
Now it's back to the message board for another bashing I'm sure!

Hey Taylor..it's Jenny...(lunch actually Jenny)..I'm sitting in Houston...about to pack for a business trip...missing Dallas and reading up on kiddlive.com when I get to your blog which I read to keep up with you guys in Dallas on occasion!..I can't help but to say that anyone who has the time, gall and audacity to write hateful things about you, well, obviously don't know you very well...They don't know that you are completely normal. They see someone with a fantastic personality and fantastic job opportunity with Kidd Kraddick in the Morning and they are completely and utterly jealous...Don't become weakened because of them. You are falling slowly and they want you to..They want you to be miserable like them. Be happy because you are single, young, beautiful, talented ,smart and everything else that you want to be with that list you wrote! You know how many sad, miserable people are out there and why would you let them bring you down? Then they win....and we wouldn't want people like that to win......when all they are, are losers....satisfied bringing one great person down...one by one..
Screw the haters, Taylor. I'm 24 and I relate to you so much. Would anyone say those things to you in person? Not unless they were wearing a mask. That's what its like when you post an anoymous hateful comment. It's like you are wearing a mask.
I love your honesty, your insecurity, and most of all, your SMILE. We could totaly be bff's.
I'm not stupid either, btw. I have a BS IN Math from LSU and I'm about to start working on my masters. LOVE YOU!

hey taylor,
i just wanted to let u know that, and im sure im speaking for a bunch of KKITM listeners, that im behind you 100%. i dont care what all those idiots say, i love the show and theres nothing they can do to make me feel differently. u and the crew brighten my day every time that i need a good laugh, and i thank you for that. i hope u can take comfort in my email and in knowing that i speak for tons of ppl out there. keep on fighting,
your loyal fan,
Taylor,13
Hey Taylor
I actually feel your pain in your writing. You are young and you are growing. Don't be too hard on yourself. Unfortunately, your growing pains are held up to the public and most of us experienced ours in a much more confined space. I look back on when I started in my career - first as a law clerk and then an attorney and I cringe. Ugh... You'll be great and just stay true to yourself because you really are good enough and better than most.
Taylor-we love you! You add so much to the show. Ignore the negativity and keep moving one step at a time.
Taylor-
Wow, what you wrote breaks my heart. I have noticed that the comments were particulary hateful lately. Just the fact that people would even take the time to knock your physical appearance just proves it's out of jealousy. Unfortunately, the world is full of so many (more than you realize) bitter and unhappy people that bash others in order to try and bring them down to their level. They also are the ones that go out of their way to be outspoken and spread their negativity. While, most listeners, like myself, who think you are (gasp!) a clever and important part of the show won't go out of our way to let you or others know that. But, we are out here. I'm not sure if you'll even read this because if I was you I would never be able to handle some of the horrible and spiteful things you come across on a daily basis. Give yourself credit for that. I would have seriously had a breakdown ages ago and let those few miserable souls win. You won a freaking contest to get where you are so that right there should tell you something about yourself! It's not like they drew your name from a hat and put you on the show. I moved to Chicago 4 months ago but I HAVE to listen to you guys every morning online because there isn't a morning show up here that compares.
I don't think you are pretty or smart. The only reason you have the job, is because the station wants to appeal to younger listeners. You bring nothing to the radio. I wish you would leave and make all of us happy.
Taylor, I am very old now (36) and it took me this long to learn to ignore my critics. I wish I could say something to make the light bulb come on for you so you could snap out of it and not give a crap what anyone thinks. You're awesome. I believe that every time someone puts you down, it is a direct result of his/her own insecurities. That goes for everyone. Just try to find a way to know how much you are loved - you wouldn't be there if you weren't. Also - Kelly has always loved you, and she seems very intimidating. Remember the mirror gift you gave her and give it to yourself. Good luck.

I just read Taylor's blog for August 13, 2007. So I decided to post a reply. My sister is 26, and I'm 18, turning 19 in 2 weeks. We have both been long-time listeners and fans of the show. I remember the summer of last year I was in the car with my sister and brother-in-law in Austin. We live in Fort Worth, but at that time I was moving to Austin to start my first year at the University of Texas at Austin. While I was in Austin, I wasn't always able to listen to the show, but I always listened to kPod. Anyway, this was the day when the rest of the cast was going to vote on whether Morgan or Taylor were going to join the cast. I remember when Morgan lost to Taylor, my sister and I were both disappointed and angry because we thought that Morgan would've been a better addition to the cast. But when we both started listening to the show, it didn't take too long for us to fall for Taylor. And we've both been very glad that Taylor joined the cast ever since. We love the Happy Couple bits and I love the stuff you say on the show, it makes me laugh so much. Taylor, you're in no way screwing anything up. And as for the whole thing with missing your flight, forget about it; just because you missed your flight doesn't make you irresponsible or a disappointment. Things happen, accidents happen. Sometimes things just don't go as we planned. It happens to everyone, so you shouldn't feel bad. And on the issue about the "fake" self-esteem and positive attitude; there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. That's how we have to think and feel about ourselves because in the real world if we don't feel good about ourselves, then we just get beaten down. Basically, Taylor, you're a cool badass!!! Whenever anyone says anything bad about you, step back and ask yourself, 'Who's the one with a job most people would kill for?' And believe me when I tell you have lots of fans!!!
--R. S.
Taylor,
You are a great addition to the show...you add something young and fresh. Don't listen to all those negative people out there, believe me more people love you than you think, it's just that we are all busy with our jobs and more important things in our lives than writing hateful comments on a blog. Keep your head up!! You're so pretty and funny. Kidd, address this issue on the air. If all these people hate the show soooooo much, way do they listen and post comments???? Love ya, Taylor....and the rest of the gang.
Tracy, KY
26 with a BS double major
Taylor, I was blown away by how articulate you really are. You expressed yourself like have I have never seen before...way to go. GOOD JOB!. I think back to all the mistakes I've made, and still make, I'm 42, it just proves that no matter how old or how young you are we are all human. If you're not making mistakes then you're not really living life. The key is learning from them. Having said that, not only did I miss my plane I did it in California, with my wife and two kids and that stupid little mistake cost me $ 850.00 to buy four more tickets. Don't beat yourself up, you're going to make more mistakes. This world is full of mean and hateful people who literally thrive on making others miserable. The ONLY way they win at their game is if YOU let them. When you read the blog and they start tearing into you, go to the next one. You know what your flaws are and you don't need some jackass with a computer, spewing hate, to ruin your day. Dwell in the positive, there are a lot of people who would love to have your life. Be good!
You have chosen a career that exposes you to the public. Being critized for the smallest things goes along with that. Some people are going to critize you no matter what you do! I admire you for exposing yourself to millions of people on here and on the air. That really takes a lot of courage and I'm very proud of you.
It seems to me that the positive comments far outweigh the negative comments. If you dwell on the negative, you are letting them win!
Be proud of who you are and what you do. Always remember, everything happens for a reason.
Wow Tayor! This was a very well written and heartfelt post. The people writing nasty posts are just trying to get under your skin. They don't know you and have no right to cast judgment on you. Oh, and you don't need to worry about looking pretty. You could never look non-beautiful no matter how hard you try. You are amazingly beautiful.
Taylor
You are in a job where you are going to have to learn to be thick skinned. Not everyone is going to like you, not everyone is going to think you are beautiful. Until you learn to ignore the negative comments, I think you need to quit reading the message board. I've seen some of the comments about you and they are hurtful. I even felt bad for you. People who are writing mean things are just unhappy people who are probably just jealous of you and have nothing better to do than to pick at you. Honestly, I didn't like you OR JC at first. "Newcomers" to an already established group are always going to be criticized. Don't whine about the bad comments people are writing about you because you do get good ones and people are defending you. Concentrate on the good comments and let those good comments lead you in the path you are wanting to take. I think this will help you grow. You've "grown on me" I have to admit. I think you have the potential to bring a lot to the show, but it's going to take time. You are new to this industry. Keep your head up and SHOCK THE WORLD! Take Care!!
Hi Taylor, I listen to KiddLive everyday. I can honestly say that you are my favorite on the show. I relate to you the closest and I think you sound and seem just down right sweet.
In my 23 years I have learned that for the most part only the haters speak up. Something I have tried to do not only to better myself, but maybe better the world a little is speak up when I am pleased or happy about something rather then complain or hate all the time.
So in that vain I am here to say I think you are sweet, smart, funny...all those things. I hope yo don't let the haters get to you too bad because I really enjoy your cheerfulness in the morning. And I hope that you can surround yourself with people who lift you up rather then bring you down.
Always a fan,
Valerie
You're always talking about your looks, and everybody is always saying "oh they're just jealous" and "oh you're so pretty". Look at all of these comments; they each contain that.
You can say that you're self concious all you want, but you just stated "I hide behind my body". You completely contradict yourself, and not just by your words. You contradict yourself by what you wear and by what you choose to do.
Nobody's judging you based on nothing. Everything they're saying is based on something you've said or done.
And don't change your writing skills just to try to impress people and pretend you're smarter. You've never had paragraphs like that before.
YOUR AWESOME!!!
Hey Taylor!
I wanted to let you know that I listen to your show everyday.... I THINK YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL and A GREAT ADDTION TO THE SHOW.... I can relate to you because I’m young and sometimes I feel like older people are always judging me. They tend to forget what its like to be our age. While you are in the radio business people will always be judging you more because of what you do for a living, but I think you've done a great job of handling yourself! Keep your head held high and remember your true self and if you can remember that I think you will be even better!!!!
You're pretty much amazing.
-Chris
Hi Taylor,
You have to keep your head up and don't let bitter, jealous people bring you down. You are successfull and beautiful and there will always be someone there trying to bring you down. I have learned that the hard way. I let some 33 yr.old woman (i'm 26) with five children (all different daddy's) and no husband come in and try and ruin my family. I know I am too young to have a husband and 2 children but I am happy and thats all that matters. My family is my life but in one day this person comes in tell me all these lies about my husband and another possible child but when the truth came out she was lying about everything because she was jealous that he wanted to be with me and not her. Don't get me wrong he did wrong to by not telling me about her but he just saw her as a friend and apparently she wanted more and when he refused she told me all these lies. I believed her because I was upset at the time but I now know the truth and we are going to move forward and have agreed to never let any one come between what we have build for our family. Our girls are taken care of, we work hard for what we have and like I said someone will always be there to try and bring you down but you can't let them. Remember what is important in life, you happiness. As far as relationships one of my BF told me " you will be happy when you realize that no realtionship is perfect". You just have to make sure to never push your true friends away cause only they will be there in your time of need. Don't let any one in you can't trust.
I don't understand where people can get so much hatered toward someone that they don't even know. All these people posting comments don't know the real you so don't let there judgements get to you, stay true to yourself and what you believe in.
They need to worry about themselves and have something better to do with there time.
Your fan,
NORMA
sorry its so long.
Taylor! Even though there are those mean people out there, just know that there are those of us that think you're doing a great job. I love having you on the show because you bring a younger person's perspective, plus you seem to have great taste in music. It is great to have that. I know it's hard to blow off the mean comments...I am really sensitive too. Just come back to these positive ones when you're feeling down and know that you're a great talented person and you brighten lots of people's day each morning.
Hey Taylor, I just wanted to let you know that I love you so much on the show! I really think you are doing a great job, one that I know I couldn't do! I hate it that people take the time to write mean things about you, and I wish that it didn't get to you, but I know that if it were me I would feel exactly the same way. Don't let those people change you! You are loved just the way you are. As far as looking good, you are so right, who doesn't want to look good & take care of themselves? People that say that it shouldn't matter are lying!! (It just means they are ugly) lol Anyway, I hope all these positive comments brighten your day.
-Crystal
Tay...don't let the haters get ya down! I think you're a great addition to the show!
Taylor....
I am 23 and I understand where you are at. I myself have a bad habit of blame. My husband says its the one thing about me that drives him crazy. We get in a fight and I will blame the things I did on him, Ie.. i did this because you did that. I dont know why I do thins, maybe this a girl thing.
i am sure you will over come this in time.
Dont be to hard on your self. Some people take joy in bring down others. DO NOT let people who are jealous of you bring you down.
You add so much to the show. You are funny, and care free. I love each and everyone one of the people on the show, all for your own things that make you who you are.
So from me to you... Thank you for making me smile every morn on my drive to work. Keep it up girl, one day you will be perfect if only in your eyes(Is all that matters anyways!!!!)
Love Lora
Hey Taylor, I recently moved to Maryland from Dallas and I keep up with you guys by reading the blogs, listening online and checking out the message boards. I always wondered why you never blogged on a regular basis as does the rest of the cast (well with teh exception of Kidd :o)) Well now I get it. I would always see people on the message boards asking when your leavings, why your staying longer than a year... blah blah. Just as with Kellie and people coming donw on her for having a full time nannie before they knew of her divorce (and even after) its apparent that people just need to be mean. Maybe they were having a bad day, and wanted to make them selves feel better or whatever the reason may be, it doesnt matter. Obviously the show does very well in ratings and if you were that big of a dissapointment, I high doubt the station would keep you. The people who constantly critize you for what you bring the station, obviously listen to you day in and day out. If you were that big of an issue in their life, they should have changed the station. Who cares if you are not gramatically correct all the time. Who is? The only reason people are is because of s[ell check. I know I have many errors in this message however, thats who I am. Your right, every 23 has some sort of self image issues. Heck im 21 and of course i do. Honestly, keep your head up. Look at everything you have achomplished and your only 23. Be proud of yourself Taylor. Your an amazing and beautiful person and you shouldn't have your life figured out by the time your 23.
Hey Tay this is Sara, a long time fan. I listen everyday and think you are so funny! I hadn't listen in a while so I missed the whole "Radio Dream Job" but once I started up again and heard you and JC, I thought you two only made the show better. People who say mean and nasty things are unhappy with themselves and try to make others unhappy as well. Keep up the good job and just be yourself.
Have a great day!
Hey Tay! don't let anyone get you down like that, if you let them get you down, thats just a point for them.. dont give them that satisfaction. You are perfectly normal and we love you. Don't worry about anything, Your AWESOME!
Love,
Sarah
i dont know if this is going to come out wrong but i am glad you are growing and becoming more self aware...i was one of those listeners that didnt like you so much but you have grown on me and i look foward to your stories and stuff like that...i cant type either and all those people out there that hate on you so much see something in you that they dont like in themselves. Good luck on your growth and dont lose your spirit!!!
Hey Taylor!
My name is blake and yes...i am a girl haha. im 17 years old and i think that you are doing an AMAZING job no this show. you are absolutley beautiful and you dont need to be worried about what other people think about you...the only thing you need to be worried about is what you think about yourself. anyone who can actually sit there and put you down obviously has either too much time on their hands or isnt happy with themselves and has to put other people down to make themselves happy. trust me people put me down all the time because i am a little over weight but that doesnt ever stop me. You just have to keep your head up and keep smiling. You have been given an awesome opportunity with this show and i think that you are a wonderful part and you bring so much character to the show. Keep up the good work and dont let these losers keep you down=]
love you girl!!!
love blake!
Taylor...
I know what you mean by people hating you and all...people hate me too. but you cant let taht bring you down girl you are too amazing of a person to let someone do that to you...dont be too hard on yourself either because that never gets you anywhere except depressed trust me. i am 20 years old and have twin 3 year old's and when i got pregnant with them everyone brought me down by saying im too young for this and that im not ever going to be able to raise them becuase i was too ditzy and scatter brained and stuff...well i will let them know that im actually going to Baylor University and workign on being a surgeon and have a 4.3 gpa...so im not too stupid to do anything. You are an amazing person and a great add to the show! dont give up and just on smiling=]
love you!
Addison
Taylor - I agree with most of the people who have commented today. You are an amazing woman who has talent and can do anything you want. God loves you. Look to Him for guidance, faith and love. I wish you the best and I will be praying for you.
Taylor,
I feel how you feel on a regular basis and I struggle with those same emotions. I make stupid mistakes and so the wrong thing all of the time, yet it does not take away the fact that I have a brain, a degree (from your very own UNT) and a heart that feels just like any other person. Hang in there.
Taylor,
I have a daughter your age and when I read your blog it broke my heart. If I were your Mother I would want to hunt down every smart ass little brat that posted a hateful comment about you and "gut" them.
But as a Mother what I am going to tell you is that you are an amazing young woman with a genuine heart that spills over the radio waves and into our homes. My goodness who cares if you don't put a comma here or start a new paragraph there, my god this is not English class and if that is the only thing they can find to pick you apart those are some really lonely, bored folks. Come on guys get a life already.
Yes you are beautiful ( and what the heck is wrong with that ) but your beautiful inside as well, your parents should be very proud, they did a wonderful job raising a wonderful person. Hold your head high, never stop believing in yourself and never let them see you cry.
Much Love,
Victoria~
Taylor, your fans just don't leave comments as much as the hater so obviously. This blog makes me proud. You will be fine, remember "it has to get better from here."
I think you are beautiful inside and out! The people that post harsh words on here are just needing to deal with themselves. We are usually tough critics on people that are like us.
Example- I am always judging people, but then I talk about people judging others. See what I am saying? The person that said you aren't smart or pretty really thinks that about themselves.
Focus on the positive---you have a job, a roof over your head, and the freedom to practice what ever religion you want. Be thankful!
-Shannon
Taylor,
You seem to be such a sweet, honest, true person. Doesn't seem you have a mean bone in your body. All the self-discovery you are doing is going to make you a much better person. The people that leave you hurtful messages are probably desperatly in need of a little self-discovery too. Keep your head up and remember the most important thing is to be true to yourself and handle the jerks with dignity. Those bitter people are probably living a sad, sad life and the only thing you can control, is you! Choose to continue your positive outlook, I LOVE IT! Forgiveness is one of the hardest things in life, but you will be amazed where it can take you in life. YOu are beautiful, funny, interesting,smart, kind, and a wonderful person! NEVER doubt that, the show wouldn't be the same without you! YOU are the best!!!!
J-
Love the show. Love you on the show. People will always try to bring you down no matter what. They aren't happy in their life, so they want to make everyone else around them the same way. Keep up the good work
Taylor,
I am an Accountant with 3 great kids and I listen to the show every morning. I think you are an amazing young lady with so much potential. I recently had to write a demanding letter to a client and was in a hurry and did not spell check such letter and let me tell you it was awful. I read it after it was in the mail. I thought oh well! So everyone makes mistakes, what I like to call "ooops I am only freaking human" uh ohs! Keep your head up. On top of having brains you are a beautiful girl. Take care!

Kudos to your mentor, who had enough faith in your relationship, to tell it to you straight...Furthermore, kudos to you! Twenty-three is extremely young to have such clarity! You will understand so many more things now that you are opening your mind. It's called "maturity," and few people actually have it anymore...Ms Karen
Hey Taylor...I listen to ya'll every morning, and I've read the hate mail, and thought, "I hope she doesn't read that". Because I understand how it can hurt. When people we're going on and on about Kinsey not being that cute and Big Al's girlfriend being so amazing I felt the same way. When people have only bad things to say, you don't even need to listen. You are so cute, and funny and fearless. And YES, you're lucky with a great job and you're beautiful. So what. I think you're great at what you do, I love listening to you in the morning, you add to the show. Don't let the mean people get you down! Mean people suck..by the way, I'm a 42 year old mom of many!! :)
You got this job for being you. Don't let anyone bring you down. If someone takes time out of there day to talk bad about you, take it as a compliment. Seriously, good or bad it's still taking time out of there day to comment about you. Don't change anything about you. If you did then you wouldn't be the person that got you this job and that your fans love. Bottom line...STAY TAY! ha!
P.S I check the website daily to see if you have blogged. Your blogs are my favorite, so don't punish people like me by not blogging because of some idiots negativity. You're GREAT!
Caroline
Hey Taylor,
I've been a listener for almost 3 years now, and even though I've moved to a city (Salt Lake) where you guys don't air, I listen online as much as possible! I'm also a 23 year old female growing and learning and I love hearing you on the radio! If there is one thing I've learned, its that people always want something or someone to complain about! And typically they aim those complaints/hate at someone they feel is better than them! So even though I'm still learning this same thing, try to look at the positive and take every negative comment as a compliment! Because anyone who purposely tries to attack and hurt someone else, has worse problems than you'll ever have to deal with!! Love the show!
Hey Taylor!
Don't let the negative people get you down. Focus on the positive only! Your a great addition to the show and you shouldn't think otherwise! Being 21 I can relate to everything you have to add on the show! About missing your plane...Stuff like that happens but you can't dwell on it too much b/c you'll just end up beating yourself down. Just file for future reference that you need to leave earlier and next time you'll make your plane! Keep on keeping on!
Much love!
Rachel
you rock
Jay
i love you so much, keep up the good work
Spence
we all love you tay, keep up the good work
Karry
dont be so thin skinned, youll get this all your life. you just have to learn to ignore it. trust me, if this is the worst that is happening to you, you got a good life. there are others who have it worse. love ya
Zac
taylor, i think you are beautiful and very smart! so dont let these other idiots bring you down! i make mistakes all the time.. im a horrible speller and i make errors all the time.. SO WHAT?! i like to get pretty and feel good about myself.. SO WHAT?! who cares what other people think.. as long as your happy thats all that matters.. and anyone who has to put someone else down has their own issues. and i know its easier said then done but forget the negative things people have to say.. if they dont have anything positive to say they just shouldn't say anything at all!!
-Brittany
Taylor I love everything about you. You make it easy for the young adults to relate to the show. I think you are beautiful and have a very good spirit. Keep up the great work and don't let anything these people say bother you. Love the show!
Taylor, don't let what hateful strangers say get you down. Pay attention to what the people who know you and love you have to say. And what nice strangers who really enjoy listening to you every morning have to say ;)
You're a great girl. Just keep experiencing and learning, and applying what you know to life. That's the best any of us can do.
Taylor,
I read the show blogs everyday and everyday I check yours to see if you have posted a new one. Today when I checked, I was happy to see you had a new post, but quickly became saddened over how you are feeling. While I am only 25, I have had to learn the realities of life much quicker than most, and I can tell you from experiance that confidence is a threat to anyone that lacks it. What I am trying to say here is, your confidence is an amazing characteristic to have and one that not many people can truly possess. Those that cant grasp it are not only threatened by the ones that can, but also extremely jealous. In an attempt to make themselves feel better, they simply attack you rather than face their own insecurities and their own imperfections. Taylor, the best advice I can give you is to never let someone else define how you feel about yourself, that is a power that you and you alone should have; and consider the source, honestly, what kind of person has nothing else to do but listen to you on the readio, read your blog, and then insult you and disrespect you in a comment. Not only are they cowards, but I know there isnt a person on this earth that is flawless or faultless, therefore there shouldnt be a single person worrying about your imperfections and neglecting their own. But that would be too painful for them now wouldnt it!! As long as they know they can get to you, they are going to keep disrespecting you, and that is all it is, disrespect, where is the credibility in that. As far as your grammar, this is a blog, not an inter office memo, not a legal document, nor a book that is being published, this is a blog. Who cares about your punctuation or spelling, as long as I can understand what you are saying, I dont give a crap where the commas are. Unless this is something that you personally want to improve, forget about it. I hope I have made sense today and I hope that I have helped or made you feel better. There is nothing wrong with having pride in how you carry yourself and being confident, that is the sexiest trait a women can posses and those of us that have it are the rare few that can truly enjoy life instead of letting insecurities define our lives. Can you say FREEDOM!
Taylor,
I have never responded to a blog online before, but I just wanted to tell you that you are way too hard on yourself. I am 49 and my youngest son is 23. You guys have your whole life ahead of you, so ease up on yourself.
I just wanted you to know that listening to you guys in the morning, driving to work, makes me start my day with a smile. YOU ARE PART OF THE REASON FOR THAT!!!!
I hope you stay on the show for a long time. I love listening to ALL of you!
Thanks for the smiles.
Cinde
You wasted everyone's time by asking for sympathy. You put yourself in that business, people are going to like you or not like you. It seems very immmature, and inarticulate to ask people to feel sorry for you, especially when you do it repeatedly.
I really don't think it's fair that your contract has been extended. You were hired for 6 months, and there was never a stipulation of you staying on. And you're still here. It would have been nice if they had made radio dream job a yearly bit, and you could have had an opportunity to move on and make a name of your own. Now, it makes people think, regardless of what you say in your blog, that you have gotten by on your looks and that life has always been easy for you. That's just a perception. I'm sure that you must have done something with ratings for them to keep you, so congrats on that. But do know that if you were as talented as you say you are, and really wanted to be in the radio business, you'd seek out your own opportunities. Otherwise, you really do seem like a spoiled brat.
Taylor,
Just because sometimes you annoy me doesn't mean I think you are evil or stupid. I for one would much rather get to hear you talk about stuff you are interesting and know then the superficial crap they seems to be forced on you most of the time. You come off "ditzy" at times but really alot of that seems like some people around you only think of you that way. I can tell even when Shanon and Kellie tease you they still don't think you are dumb. You missed your flight due to things beyond your control that wouldn't have prohibited you making it there, but yes nowadays you need to get there 2 hours early which of course those times you sit around staring off into space for an hour and a half. :-)
But it is very sad that some many people try and make you feel better by only focusing on your looks. Sorry but when I read people throwing out how everyone is jealous of your "hottness" it makes me think they are the most shallow idiots in the world. They are judging you by one thing only. Hardly once does a person mention how you do show intelligence, kindess, and many other truly positive things about you as a person.
When you dyed your hair you whined like your life was over, and you still have your hair brown? I can understand how that defines you as you, but brown hair actually to makes you more attractive. Something about that color makes you "glow" not sure why.
And don't change being "sensitive" I am 33 and still get told to "get a tougher skin" when people are hateful to me.
And if you find you enjoy knitting then guess what talk about that. If you like to scrapbook, or play tennis or swim or whatever that would be fun to hear you actually be excited about something other than "woo I am pretty" because that not only makes you seem "shallow" but hides who you really are :-)
Im sure you are getting a lot of this after writing you last blog, but who cares about your gramatical errors. Its your blog. I think peopel hate because they want what you have. Dont worry most of us love you. I think you and JC have brought a lot to the show. I have listened since Rich and there was so much missing after he left. I think you two helped the show so much. Thanks for spending the time to entertain those of us with more boring jobs. Love the show. Jamey from kansas
You bring youth to the show and I love that you guys talk about The Hills. Last night was awesome. Who cares about these people!! BTW Im a fourth grade teacher so my opinion should count :D
Taylor, I would just like to say that I am not a fan of yours. I'm sorry, but you are not going to get me to feel sorry for you because you are an immature brat. You screwed up get over it. I bet it was not the first time you were selfish and inconsiderate and it probably won't be the last. I am not trying to hurt your feelings, but you can't help it. It's who you are. I also suggest you start looking for another career path, because i hate to say it but you aren't cut out for radio. You have to make people want to listen to you and unfortunately you make listeners want to turn the station. Again, not trying to hurt your feelings. I am just trying to share the truth with you.
Hi Taylor!
I'm so sorry to hear of all the negative comments you've been getting. I'm currently experiencing this, but there are some mean people online that totally live off of causing some sort of reaction (usually bad). I think you are doing great! Especially since you are young and you have such a great job opportunity that others can only dream of. Keep smiling and being positive! Life is nothing but a learning experience, everyone makes mistakes, big and small.
Youre the reason I turn on the radio in the morning :)Im 22 and starting a teaching job and being an adult sucks sometimes. Im with you there! Defeated is the optimal feeling....but push through, be encouraging and happy :)
Taylor,
I'm 29 years old and my name is Adele. I hope you read this because every positive comment that is posted about you should outweigh those hateful/negative ones 10 fold! You are an awesome person and don't listen to those people who say those awful things about you. When people say negative things like that, ALWAYS remember that they are just trying to break you down to build themselves up! And that's it! Don't let them do it! Say that to yourself and ignore them! I have people who say some rude things about me at times as well, and yes I used to let it get to me too when I was younger, but I have another quote that helped me. (Yes, it may be a little young for my age, but I love it still). It goes... "If you talk about me, I've got some advice. Click your heels together and say 'I Wish I had a Life'!" It's a funny quote, and I'm sure some people will think it's cheesy, but it's true! When people talk about you or say negative things about you, it's because they have nothing better to do. Seriously, keep your chin up. You are so blessed with what all you've got and people are just jealous, that's all!
Hey Taylor~
You are AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL, and unfortunately the world is full of hateful people! I also take everything to heart, and it sucks, but it shows you are a caring person. What I've just begun to realize is that you can't be a people pleaser all the time. There are always critics. You just have to be you, and if they don't like you...they aren't someone you want in your life any way! Well God bless, and keep up the EXCELLENT work on the show!!! Keep your head up!!!!
It's funny how some people can be so hateful/negative behind a computer screen. I also find it funny how focus more on the negative comments than you do the positive. This is life, girl! Not everyone is going to like you. Move on! Their lost! Me personally, I love you on the show. You bring a different element. I live by this quote:
"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." - Martha Washington
Mandi
Taylor, You have got to grow thicker skin. Who cares what people think. You should only care what your family thinks. You have to realize in the public eye these things will happen. You got the "dream" job so take the good with the bad. There will always be both in everything you do. If you are letting this get you down maybe this is not the best job for you. All radio listeners who read your blog are not your "friends" as you stated. That was a naive and juvenile statement. I like to listen to you and think you and J.C. add a great element to the show but come on...talk to the veterans and I bet they will tell you the same.
Hey Taylor! I'm 21 and have many of the same insecurities that you have. I've always struggled with self esteem and still do, but I learned that the easiest way around it is to never take yourself too seriously! Always be the first person to laugh at yourself and never let those people get you down. People are only insulting you because they don't want to take the time to examine themselves. Be proud of who you are!
Taylor,
When you're doing stuff around the house or driving down the freeway or doing those everyday things that we all do, does it ever occur to you that YOU work for a radio station in a MAJOR MARKET? Do you think to yourself, "wow, I work for Kidd?". Most people have no clue what it takes to get into a radio station morning show like you have. Kidd is a major player in morning radio world. You work for him! You work with him! You are part of a very small percentage of people who have the best job in radio. I know from experience that the only thing harder than getting a job on a major market morning show is actually keeping that job. I know guys who have slaved on radio stations for years and would kill to have your job, even if it is a "side kick" position. I tell you this because you have done amazing things in a short period of time. If Kidd didn't think you should be on the radio trust me, you'd be gone. Kidd is no fool and if he thought that you being on the show was hurting his show you be working at KSOL in some small town market doing live remotes from the auction barn. Be proud of what you've accomplished, be proud that you've made it to a level in radio that you have. Stand tall, put your chin out a little and don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing GREAT girl.
Ok "Tay". Quit being such a cry baby or leave radio. You are annoying because you brown nose. Get an opinion of your own and quit riding Kelly's bandwagon.
Taylor,
No one is perfect! Forget the hateful ones and remember the nice ones. You do a great job. You bring something to the show that no one else does. People are just envious of what you have! Forget them girl, you are awesome!
-Stephanie
For a 23 year old, you're very self aware and I think that says a lot about who you are and where you're going. I was explaining to someone just yesterday that no matter what you do, whether bad or good, someone is going to find fault with you and criticize you. Sadly, it's the nature of most human beings. The key is to rise above that and believe me I know that ain't easy! Words are just words and will only do to you what you allow them to. I still have a tough time with it myself and I'm quite a bit older than you. Take care and just be who you are because YOU are a good person and nothing anyone says will change that!! You're going to be fine. :O)
Hi Taylor, this was my first time reading your blog and it wasn't what I was expecting. I've been in similar situations and all you can do is keep livin and if you make mistakes, just learn from them. I know it's easier said than done, but pushing yourself through anything is going to be hard. It looks like you have accomplished more than most 23 year olds, even many 40 year olds, so at the end of the day, keep your head up and know you're doing exactly what is is you want to do. Haters will always hate.
Taylor,
I am glad you are on the show I listen every morning. All young women have those same self doubt problems, heck I'm 35 and still have them. I have two teenage girls (14 & 15) and I see it in them already. Like I tell them everyday you are loved and I think your beautiful! Don't take to heart everything people say look at the comments today, you have soooo many people who truly love you being you. I hope you continue to grow and stay on the show for a really long time I love listening every morning. You give it a fresh view!!
Sincerely,
Michelle - Augusta, GA
Taylor,
First of all I want to say that I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself finally.
Second of all, I want to say to all the "Anonymous" negative posts that I find it completely odd and "time-wasting" to come on here and rip this girl for expressing her feelings, when you cant even post your real name. There are a few of you that are outraged that she's stayed longer than her intended 6 months - thats not your choice. It's the KIDD KRADDICK morning show, where KIDD calls the shots, not people who get their kicks by saying hateful things to a girl who obviously has done something right to make Kidd, the rest of the show, and atleast 75% of these posts love her. I think that these negative posters should find something better to do. If you dont like Taylor's grammar or the fact that shes trying to improve it, dont read her blog. It's that simple.
Taylor, I know its become repetitive, but there are so many people that like you and empathize with you. Major kudos to you for taking the time to try to explain to people how you feel. Thats what blogging is for. Have a wonderful day. By the way - the Kiddie Kat Dolls video was GREAT!
Just keep doing what you do. It's hard not to let others' opinions of us affect us. That's the way most people are built. Just remember that as long as you are doing things that make you happy and hopefully a better person, you're doing the right thing. Don't let other people's hangups and insecurities bring you down. Love the video!
Brett from KY
Tay,
I just wanted to say,there are people out there that thrive on making others feel miserable. Girly, don't let them get to you. I know it would hurt me as well, if I had to read things about me like that. But then you have to consider the source. Most of these people who bash you, have nothing better to do than sit around all day and think of hateful things to say to others. They comment on blogs because the feel big and untouchable.Also, probebly because they cannot face their own faults, so it makes them feel better to point out what they beleive to be others flaws. Yours is not the only blog with hateful comments hun. These types of people do it all over the inet. It is amazing how much hate people can have in their hearts and minds. You may not be the smartest, brightest or creative on the show, but you are getting there, You have come so far in the past year since you began. You do bring a lot of funny and entertaining bits to the show. I would love to hear more from you to be honest. This comment may not be what makes it alright in your heart, but I hope it can at least make you grin a lil, to know that it is not you. You are beautiful, witty, smart, funny and so sweet. Keep your head up and just roll witht the punches. By the way, GREAT JOB on the Kiddy Kat Video, you guys were amazing.
Andrea (Baton Rouge, LA)
Hey Taylor, I
'm 24 years old, female... one of those uptown girls that I would consider you to be(also a blondie who went dark!) .
At first, I really didn't care for you. You seemed like a stuck up, annoying pest who didnt bring anything to the show. Looking back, I think you were just playing a part. I've actually grown to really enjoy what you bring to the show and I hope you realize that first impressions do tend to stick with people - but I think you have the class, wit, and talent to eventually get through to even the most dense listeners.
keep on keepin' on, girl.
Melissa
Hey Taylor,
Just remember that for every ass that childishly insults you and doesn't know you there's ten more people who only compliment you and have your back. Jealousy is a strong emotion and it can make people extremely hateful. Your pretty, skinny and talented, take it as a compliment that you inspire such jealousy but don't let it bring you down. Think of what famous actresses go through. You have a glimpse into that window and they deal with it on a much larger scale. It's just like you said, you can't let people you don't know effect you so much even though it's hard. I think your awesome and gorgeous. I love that you are trying to show people your more than a pretty face and look how much people reach out to you when they know your down. You have plenty of support you just have to realize it's there. Skip the nasty comments, they don't matter.
Taylor i can't imagine why anyone would want to criticise you, except that maybe they're jealous because they can't be more comfortable with themself like you are! I might only be 18, but i understand what you mean about the whole self-esteem thing. It's definitely okay to think you're pretty, and it's even better that you realise inner beauty is vital.
You're great on the radio too. I hear people pick on you sometimes, but i feel your pain, in a way. I'm a natural blonde, so i'm constantly being put down, and people are shocked when they realise it isn't all air up there. Do NOT stop believing in yourself, because you seem like a really great person.
Great job with the PCD video, i bet the guys are so mad they couldn't do something that fun! Y'all look like you worked hard, and it paid off! It's funny bc i've listened to the KK morning show for years, but i have NEVER seen anyone's picture.. so watching that was definitely cool to put the faces to the voices.
-Mary from Gulfport, Mississippi
Hey Taylor... don't let anyone stop you from shining.. just imagine if we had our life shown to the world especially at age 23.. people would defintely limit their judgements.. live life..you are young, living a life that most people could on dream about... stay sweet
Amber
P.S get out and have some fun.. you have plenty of time to sleep when you get my age :)
your beauitful that is what draws guys in but to keep a guy not most guys but one like me you have to be smart,funny,outgoing,and have "spunk".
don't feel insucure about your body or your brains, except them and enjoy them. you seem really nice and don't worry about making mistakes. everyone makes mistakes,everyone.
"you're beautiful" "you're so skinny" "oh my god you're so pretty" "they're just jealous of you Taylor" "I wish I were as pretty as you"
Weeeeee let's boost Taylor's self esteem!!!! =D This isn't artificial AT ALL!!!
A fake, self-absorbed person deserves such fake, self-absorbed comments, from all of you fake, self-absorbed people. =)
Hi Taylor,
I'm 16 and I don't get the chance to listen to the morning show a lot, but I'd really like you to know that I've found many things to look up to you for. You are probably one of the most genuinly nice people I have ever "known". You are not self-absorbed (something I'm working on), you make others feel good about themselves, you are able to put exactly the right amount of focus on your appearance (not too much, but you still look awesome), and you really deserve the positive things in life that happen to you. I think you are doing a great job here on Kidd Kraddick, and I'll be sad if you ever go. You know who you are, and you should never feel bad about what people say about you, because they don't know you. Focus on what your close friends and family think of you, you can trust them to say things that hurt when needed, and to give you encouragement and praise when earned. And I may not be right about saying this (But I think I am!), you deserve so much good.
Hey Tay! I left you a comment on the message board. Hope you get it. I looked today and couldn't find it. Hope you have a GREAT day! Smile :)
I think you are great.
Oh Grow up and stop whining! People don't like you? Who the HELL cares?? What a DRAMA Queen you are. Brush it off and go on with your life. This post is SO typical of what women have come to in today's world. Poor me. Nobody loves me. I can't understand why?? Stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about getting a LIFE.. Nobody cares if you feel like the world is against you, or if you flirt like a trashy little stripper. Look at Kellie and how she handles opinions about her and her pathetic life. She doesn't whine and grovel, she just accepts she is a bitter single soccer mom and get's on with her life.
To say ignore what others say is almost impossible...don't let anyone fool you. I can say that it does get easier the older you get. It is a lot easier to say it doesn't bother you, when deep down it does...I know this personnally. Look to the ones that you love and the ones that love you. Some people are just hateful, and they will never change. Be proud of who you are and what you have already accomplished in your 23 years.
Taylor,
I've been listening to the show since I moved to South Carolina in November and I wish I had it back in Illinois, where I came from. I'm a reporter and in this day and age, we get a lot of anonymous comments online about the things we write about and those who "know" us tend to think it is their place to criticize us for the decisions we make in our lives while remaining anonymous. They are cowards and have forever challenged them to show who they really are, but to no avail.
You really have helped bring insight to my life. You have always appeared as this very attractive, talented, funny and youthful person, and I didn't realize that someone of your beauty and talent could hurt so much. Block the anonymous cowards out of your mind and continue to do the fantastic job you do for the show.
I must admit, your blog - even though it's only updated about three times a month : ) - is the only one I read on KKTM. So I must give credit to you (and hopefully you'll pass it on to) Kelly and Shannon for the great job you all did on the Kiddy Kat Dolls Video. It took a lot of courage, CONFIDENCE and discipline to pull off such a performance. See, you have the confidence... now let it shine. Don't get discouraged! Always know you have a listener here in S.C. that knows you're better than that!! (jayrodsc@hotmail.com)
Tay- One thing you have to keep in mind is that when you are TV or in radio, you automatically open yourself up to critism and there are alot of people out there that are just mean. They make themselves feel better by making others feel worse. I am 24 and have been listening since you guys were on in Memphis. I was so happy when they brought JC and you on. I loved the show before, but you two brought a younger perspective along. I love everyone on the show. You all bring something different and that's what makes it great. It's like one big, happy, disfunctional family. You are beautiful and it's great that you are confident enough to know that. You are also smart, very compassionate, and have a wonderful personality. You are doing great. Don't let anyone bring you down.
OMG, I swear you never give up. Need more attention? You need to grow up! You lucked into this job and it's a "public" job. You will be slained by the public. So what. Get over yourself! Yeah missing the plane was your fault--DUH--no one should have had to point that out to you and they wouldn't have had to if you weren't so into yourself. Now you are writting a little pity party blog to get people to feel sorry for you! You should have never gotten that job to begin with. I didn't stop listening when you did because I was going to be open minded and give you a chance. Over a year has past and you are worse now than at the beginning. You will never be as good as Kellie or Shanon. What Kidd should really do is replace you with Shanon but we all know you couldn't handle her job! At least she would contribute something to the show! Stop feeling sorry for yourself. It's not very appealing!
Hi Taylor- I always read your blog, but I typically do not read the comments. Today I did; however, and I want to note that all but one negative commenter added their comment under "Anonymous," and did not sign their name. Very interesting. That just goes to show you what cowards those naysayers are. First of all, everyone has a right to their opinion, but why bother spewing hatred? It amazes me how sad and pathetic some people are and who obviously need a hobby, so they could feel better about themselves and feel less of a need to spend their time being so negative. I love KKITM, and I think you are a great addition to the show. Yes, you are a pretty girl, but its radio, not tv, so you clearly have something else to bring to the table besides your looks. Maybe its your youth that helps the younger listeners relate, maybe its your naive, but genuine perspective that gives a little softness to the team. Whatever it is, you should be proud. You have come this far, and Kidd Kraddick obviously sees something in you, and I think I would trust his professional opinion before I would go on some random dude hacking away at his computer searching around the internet for blogs where he/she can post a nasty comment. You are young and will learn so much about yourself and the world, and the fact that you embrace that is so refreshing. Keep up the great work!
Seriously, if you guys can't stand her then quit reading her blog and putting so much energy into bashing her! We get it you don't like her! I know she is a public figure but she is a human being too! No matter what she does she just can't win with some of you jerks but she's putting herself out there. I can only imagine how miserable those of you are who have such contempt for a radio personality you've never met. How do you treat the people in your everyday life? Oh wait, I bet you don't say any of the stuff you do on here since you can't hide behind your anonymous posts!
Blah, blah, blah!!! Why don't you write about something OTHER than the self-absorbed, pity me, rendition of your day? Tell a story, tell a joke - I suggest you read J.C. and Kellie's blogs (even Big Al's blog)!! Get out of the business is you can't handle the comments. Your blog is apparently a "tell me good things about me" sympathy request. Please, do us all a favor and GET OVER YOURSELF!!! (blaming other people for your tardiness, PLEASE!!!).
Yawn
Gosh this is all so dumb. This is why I hardly listen to 106.1 anymore. Whine whine whine. Stop trying to have everyone like you, and "oh" and "ah" over you. Just thought I would checkout the website today, came across this.. and man, this is the reason I switched stations. Too much silly drama.
Hey Taylor,
I posted in another one but cant find where it is haha..but man, some people deal with jealousy in such harsh manors!
You should take what all of these people who are being rude to heart because it comes from so many perfect people that do absolutely NOTHING wrong. They are perfect, i want to be just like them too..
People only hate because they have issues they cannot deal with being a weak person they are..so I think its humorous more so than anything else, entertaining almost, to read peoples hate messeges. It makes me feel better about myself knowing i have half a brain and am more mature for 26, than i thought! (and i never wanted to grow up, being a toys'r'us kid :P)
Im new to your blogs but ill check back in, hope all is well and i hope your month so far..is a great one! half over!!

Taylor-
I want you to read this (and do not be afraid, it wont make you the least bit sad).
A lot of people think you are a joke because you are cutesy and may even seem a little ditsy and you are great looking and have all these opportunities everywhere you are and everywhere you go for the above reasons.
Women LOVE to be hateful about that- women are JEOLOUS bi-aches adn it makes them oh-so-happy to belittle someone and criticize.
However. You are like Cameron Diaz's character on MY Best Friend's Wedding... you will come out shining even when you suck singing karaoke because you are so amazing as a person.
You are the most-optimistic and sincere person on the show for sure and the way you have stepped it up picking up Shannon for work and making plans as to how to make the journey memorable is awesome. It makes everyone wish they had a friend like you- to be so honored as to know you as Tay...
Look up and smile- if you see a hateful comment made to you- delete it at first sign and move on.
Many of us love you...
Crystal
Taylor~
I have known you since Mrs. Rhore's second grade class... well maybe even Mrs. Waddle's first grade class!!! Remember that we use to live one street over from each other? :) We have been through hating each other to liking each other to not really talking at all.... I can honestly say from an un-biased point of view that you are a good person. You have a good heart.
Keep your head up and be secure within yourself and the rest will fall into place!
Love~ Nicole W.
Don't worry about what people say, Taylor, nor what they think about you. I loved your blog today because it showed you are a feeling human being who is learning from your mistakes. Takes care!
Hi Taylor,
I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely LOVE you on the show. I enjoy you b/c I relate to you so much.
I, too, was raised to be aware of my physical appearance. As a result, I love clothes, make-up, nails, and hair, and ALWAYS leave my apartment looking as presentable as possible.
I love to feel pretty, and it drives my boyfriend nuts. It is very important to me. I am in a business that relies on a presentable appearance (I am a receptionist) and because I am so dilligent about my appearance, it has paid off.
Sometimes, b/c I have blonde moments, people assume I am not smart. This is not the case! I had a 3.5 GPA, and love school.
Don't let haters get you down. You are a great addition and you make me smile. You are a positive influence and it's nice to see someone who is so open.
So you have flaws. Big deal! Everybody does...it's time that those people who are jealous are aware of it. You're human too. :)
Victoria
Hi Taylor,
I understand it bothers you what people say. I would feel the same way. But the bottom line is, there are hateful people in the world, and they will say anything to get a chance to see you in pain.
You are a gorgeous woman, and a great value to the show. You have definitely made the kkitm show a more entertaining show to listen to. I think you will find that there are musch more people that love you then hate you. People who love ya just aren't as willing to speak up.
Please don't change a thing about yourself. You are unique, loving, and fun. Anyone would be very lucky to know you.
Ms. Taylor,
I know this is a late entry to your Monday posting and I hope you receive this message. After reading your posting as well as the critical and supportive comments I was compelled to reply (something I rarely do).
Several take home messages are evident from your blog and the responses to it. First, being accountable for the things you are responsible for is an important aspect of personal and professional development. Part of accepting personal responsibility is to focus on values established by YOU and at best marginally influenced by others. YOU must determine what is important and understand why it is important. Too much input from others typically confuses things. Of course when you work for someone else you must consider and be respectful of their expectations and things they consider important. From your posting it sounds as though you "get" this idea.
Second, and definitely related to the first message, is that opinions are just like assholes; everybody's got one and no particular one is the "right" or correct shape. So read and listen to the comments, but, accept the criticisms (and the compliments) just as they are - opinions. When people opine there is typically little FACT to support their ideas. If we then establish our BELIEF based someone else's nonfactual statement, we have developed our own miserable ideas or conversely established an exaggerated positive perception. Either way we have established a "fact" in our mind that is distorted at best and inaccurate at worst. For example, what does it mean for someone to say 'you don't add anything to the show' or 'you are the most beautiful and gifted young talent in decades'? Both are opinions that can not be proven true or false. If you accept them as fact (truth or false) you have developed an inaccurate belief for they are neither true nor false, only opinion. It appears to me that many people in public forums (media, sports, politics) lose an authentic sense of self in pursuit of an unachievable ideal as "the way it is" or "the way I must be". Often these "factual" ideas are set in motion by others who either assert excessively critical or excessively encouraging OPINIONS. Your task in the face of these comments is to think critically about them. Ask yourself "is this fact or opinion?" If it is fact then address the issue. If it is opinion, then develop the arguments that contradict that opinion. That way you maintain a healthy balance and have developed your own opinion that is more than likely closer to reality. For instance, reality as it relates to the statements described above is most likely reflected in this statement: "In some ways your professional weaknesses may interfere with the program and your professional strengths bring a refreshing addition to the program." I recently read several articles with/about Mandy Moore I'd encourage you to read as she has expressed some healthy and adaptive insights about being a young woman in a public forum. The bottom line is to not rely on the opinion of the masses (either supportive or critical) to define you. If you accept their opinions as fact, then YOU have misled yourself.
Finally, with regard to efforts to do your best remember this statement "Do all YOU can, with what YOU have, in the time YOU have, in the place YOU are." (caps added). If you believe you have earnestly held yourself to these standards, you can maintain your dignity and esteem even in the event of failure. The above quote was made by an inspiring boy named Nkosi Johnson. You can hear and read his story by following this link http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4195336
In parting, I hope you continue to give your greatest effort and wish you good fortune.
Another Anonymous and concerned, but part-time, listener.
Hello there Ms. Taylor! Don't you worry for one second about the people who are saying ugly things about you on the message boards or your blog! Forget them! You are working your tail off, in life and in your job, and if they don't think you're doing a good enough job.. who cares?!?! You're doing great on the show also =) Most people are probably just intimidated and/or jealous because you're so young and have a great start on your career already. I deal with this myself everyday. In my experience, I've learned that the best way to deal with people like that is to say a little prayer, smile, and move onto something more positive. You are the only person who can truly make yourself feel better... do it on a daily basis!!!
*** Isn't it interesting that such hateful people hide behind "anonymous" and feel brave about showing their ignorance? They come on YOUR blog and say things they would never say in person, and then sign off with a smugness, without ever admitting that instead of hating you, they want to BE you. If they looked into their heart they would admit that they would gladly step into your shoes and live your life for a while. Obviously their lives are pretty miserable since they are filled with such viciousness. But they can't, they have to continue drudging on in their own pathetic and miserable lives and apparently that makes them bitter and hurtful people.
I love how the internet shows true colors.
Tay - obviously self-confidence covers more then just physical attributes. We've ALL been there, and are there, and will continue to be there. It's human nature. Why anyone would come onto your blog, where you write about your own personal thoughts, and say that you are being self-absorbed is ridiculous.
Just for the record, I do think you're gorgeous, smart and very funny. The whole package. I've enjoyed hearing you on the radio. But beyond that, I think your blogs, and especially this last one, show that you are mature and deep. That you would take the time to look inside and discover ways to learn from bad experiences is something many people don't do. (but should!)
Finally - know this. You are not the kind of person that would go onto someone's personal blog or company message board and attack someone maliciously. That shows not only that you are a kind and big hearted person, but that you are a person who deserves good things.
It's hard to forget about the negativity that unfortunately does seem to come with the job, but please try. I'd like you to feel like you could stick around KKITM for a long time.
Love ya girl!
Chris
Taylor...your future is not in radio. You're wasting time not finding out what you are good at. Seriously.
Tay...Your blog had a lot of pain and saddness. I can tell you from experience that there is only one way out of your rut. This is going to sound like another one of those Jesus freak comments but the truth is sometimes hard for others to accept. The truth is that until you have peace with God and have that faith in Him and His unconditional love for you, it will be difficult for you to love yourself. We are all here on this planet for a very short time and it is not worth getting wrapped up with stress and worry about what others think of you. The only opinion that matters is the one who can give you eternal life. You have tried it your way your whole life and it has led you to this point, maybe it is time to try it His way. I hope you take this advice to heart because I can tell you from experience it is the only way to true happyness. Prayer is a very powerfully thing so I will pray for you but I suggest you also pray and see what miracles unfold in your life.
taylor your too sesitive.
big al needs to hit you with kellys baby a few times.
Hey Taylor,
I know that I'm writing this this anonymously but when when I read your blog I thought to myself, seriously, someone has the audacity to write something negative about someone else online. "Real ballsee" don't you think? When it comes to negative people I have found that it is usually someone that has nothing positive to say about their own life. And to make their life feel that much better they put others down to make their life seem that much brighter.
It's nice in this day in age that we have computers and technology, the downside is now everyone has an opinion good or not. Everyone has the ability to be the Monday morning quarterback, difference is, that now instead of, well football, we can talk about others. Nice...it has now become a word that people have replaced with gullible, happy a word that people have replaced with annoying, honesty a word replaced with suckers, in a world that changes its view on good things it's good to see someone with such a positive outlook, such as yourself.
Don't let negative people effect who you are just look at them smile and move on. You are who you surround yourself with, and personally I like nice people good luck.
On the flip side, I hear ya on the missing the flight deal. I have done the same thing, I travel a lot and I have missed my fair share of flights. I was held up in traffic, then at the parking garage, then at the security by the time I got to the gate it was closed. Not much I could have done, you can't control the present, I always look at what happens next, and how can I change that, meaning I missed the flight, what does that effect, sometimes nothing but sometimes other things. And if it effects something what can I do to keep a positive spin on it. Keep your chin up, smile and remember bad things happen to good people, but good people have a way of letting go moving on and smiling:)
HEY TAYLOR HOW R U ? U SHOULDN'T LET WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY WORRY U. I THINK UR IN A GREAT PLACE FOR THE AGE U ARE. I GET JUGDGED ALOT AND BELIEVE ME IF I HAD LISTENED TO WHAT EVERYONE SAID I WOULD BE NOWHERE. KEEO UR HEAD UP IF I CAN DO IT FOR SURE YOU CAN DO IT. I HAVE THREE KIDS WORK FULL TIME GO TO SCHOOL FULL TIME A SINGLE PARENT AND 24YRS OLD SO THERE.
I think you are a wonderful addition to the show i just started to listen to you guys but i think your awsome forget all the idiots just keep bein you
Well, Tay, its John. Sorry for calling you that, but it's more personal than Taylor. Anyway, this is my first time for writing in the comment section of the show, but I just read your last blog and was floored. NOT by you, but by the readers that are writing about you. I stopped on your last blog entry because there was no need to further read on. I just couldn't NOT write about it. First of all NOOOOOO it was not your fault that you missed the plane. Fate happens no matter how hard we try to change it. And if that was a TRUE friend that told you it was your fault, well then she hasn't learned much about life yet, and must be stuck in some wierd little world of brainwashing by someone (maybe the SCIENTOLOGISTS)!! You arrived early right!!! Could you control the security machines!! IF so, there is probably a bunch of terrorists that would love to hire you. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT AT ALL! Second, about the show, I have been a faithfull listener since you guys joined MIX 96.1 in SA, TX. And Every single one of you DJ's bring a certain substance to the show. We are not all perfect, if we were I would be married, with kids, have my own business, earning a million a year, oh yeah with a hot wife. But were not, we are just human, we are who and what we are because that IS what makes life go on. I just can't see the morning show any other way, and I know someday the DJ's will change, but for now we need all of ya'll. NO matter what the losers say. Ya'll make OUR world right every morning. IF they don't like ya'll, TURN THE STATION. The people that write the hatefull messages, have nothing in their life. They say they do, but let them tell you their story, THEY DON'T. They are working at a job that they really don't want to be working at, they are with their significant other that they really can't stand, but they stay together so it looks good to their friends, and they are in debt past their noses and just really don't know what to do. SO they write hatefull things about people that in all actuality they envy. I know my grammer and typing will probably be made fun of by the same people that do it to you, but what the hell, I don't know them, don't care to, and life goes on. You never know I just might be another Einstein, they will never know. Taylor, Kellie, Shannon, you ALL THREE did a stupendous job on the KITTYKAT DOLLS video. It wasn't made to over-do the PK DOLLS, it was a parody, do the losers know what that is?? KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK THAT YOU ALL DO FOR US IN THE MORNING, and yes it continues on throughout the day, another ripple effect of good deeds. I wish you really understood what you all at KIDD in the morning do for so many people, you would never again worry about those hatefull messages again, because the good ALWAYS outweighs the bad.
Taylor this next little message applies TO YOU ==
LIFE IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU,
BUT HOW YOU REACT TO IT.........
FOR WHAT CAUSED YOU TO REACT WILL SURELY PASS,
BUT HOW YOU CONTINUE TO REACT CAN ONLY BE PASSED BY YOU!!
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! you have too much going for you to be brought down by insignificant people.
AND us old folks(is 32 old) even listen to ya'll. Thanks for all that ya'll do!
j taylor----swtwa@hotmail.com
Hey Taylor,
I think you are great on the show...You should keep your head up high and not let other people bother you. My momma always told me that when someone is being mean to you, they are showing their own insecurities! You should keep a file of all good comments, and when you get a bad comment, read what is the the good file!
Taylor - you are so cute. People cut others down to make themselves feel better. You have added so much the KKITM show. Don't let people get you down!
Unfortunatly there are jerks out there that make life out there difficult for the rest of us. You really bring a lot to the show. I love your humor and keep up the good work. I loved the KCD video, you guys are truly awesome.
Taylor, this is off the subject but where did you buy the dress you wore to the pcd premiere? it is a cute dress that i would love to have for myself! Thanks, you are a great addition to the show.
Keep your head up Taylor! I hate talk radio but I can't stop listening to Kidd Kraddick in the morning because of YOU and the rest of the crew! Sure, I don't know you but you can learn so much by listening to the show and you truly are a great person. Don't let people get you down! Stick and stones remember. Tomorrow's a new day and you'll be just fine. :)
Heather from SA.
hey, taylor...i used to be one of those who didn't want you to win the radio dream job, but you grew on me!
sorry, but i think the people who are STILL "hatin'" on you one of the following: 1)they are jealous of your beauty/vivaciousnessor & how beautiful people "seem" to have it made, OR 2) they are intellectual snobs who like to feel superior to others.
I feel so much better about myself when I "pretty" myself up. I feel more confident and positive and there is nothing wrong with that.
I am an English teacher and believe me, it really gets to me when I read stuff with typos all over it that is written by so-called journalists or on a website that is supposed to be edited by a webmaster who ought to be able to catch those things. But you are neither of those, so I will give you a break (as should they!). You write from the heart (something I think some people must be missing, or they wouldn't post the ugly messages they do).
You have something that those people can't buy or learn...sensitivity. I wear my heart on my sleeve too, but at least we have one!
just so you persnickety people out there know, I see the typos in my last message. I DID check my message, but still missed the mistakes. See, Taylor? I am an English teacher and look what I did! Oh well...nobody's perfect!
how do you put up width some of these people. i see what you mean now. Still don't worry about them or anyone else for that matter. Your close friends and family know who you are and what your about so fuck all these other dickheads. to say we are fake and how you feel about your self isn't an issue pisses me off. your beautiful i know, and listening to you it seems your smart and have a lot of other good qualities going for you so keep ya head up and ya legs closed...lol jk sorry for the bad words. keepin it real bobby
Hey Taylor! This is Taylor. lol. A boy taylor though! But i'm gay, so i can be a girl too right, lolz. Anyway. I'm also a Taylor in your position who truly can't help but be affected by what other people think about them. When i was a child, i've been picked on for just being really girly and sensitive, and it hurts a lot to think about why people have to suck so bad, you know? You and I are both in the same when we wonder why some people go out of their way to hurt your feelings. I like to think of what the world would be like if everyone could be friendly. Certainly, if everyone were as sweet, charming, caring and fun as you are, there would be absolutely no problem. You are such a perfect addiction to the show and you're a great role model to lots of young girls and women. Not to mention that you are absolutely stunning! I understand how hurtful it must be to read those hateful comments on the message board, but please remember that there is a far greater sector of people out there who truly love you and wouldn't want the show without you <3 I could spend all this time throwing out little compliments but in the end, all i want you to know is that your are a Taylor! And we taylors may not always be strong, mighty or secure with ourselves, but we are beautiful inside and out; not to mention we're damn fun to hang out with. lol. So chin up <3 Listen to alanis - unsexy :] It's not loud or angry lol. It's a nice song. You might like it. But have a good day, for yourself! :]
Hi Taylor..
I just wanted to add my two cents for whatever it's worth. First of all, I have to admit when I first started listening to you on the morning show I didn't like your radio personality much. I can't say that I didn't like you because I didn't know you, only what I was hearing on the radio BUT you have come a long way and are proving that you are learning from all your experiences. Honestly, I think it would be really sad if we all peaked at 23 years old and knew it all. What would that give us to look forward to for the next 50 or 60 years of our lives. Personally, I am still learning every day and still don't have it all figured out and I'm 41. I also hope I keep learning for the rest of my life. But anyway....I think that's why I've grown to like you and your point of view on the show...reminds me of how my youth wasn't left behind but how much I've learned since then. And you are cute and funny and have had the most wonderful opportunity given to you. Just do the best you can do and in the end, when you look back and can say that then nothing else matters. You are being 23 in front of soooo many people...man, that's hard. I don't know how many of us would want to live that age in the public eye..sheesh!!! It just seems like all the "haters" out there could take the time to be constructive in their criticism, giving you ideas that would help or just don't post. I don't believe that all praise would be in the least bit beneficial but attacks are completely unwarranted and as hard as it is just ignore them...they need a ife. Keep learning and growing and know there are people pulling for you! :)
If the people criticizing you want brutal honesty, they should look at the fact that they are taking the time out of their lives to read a blog and then yammer on about how much they dislike it's writer. If that is how they live their lives, then whatever they write about how you live your's is irrelevant and a useless waste of space anyway.
You are beautiful, so be proud of it. A person's appearance is what it is, if anyone looks the way you do they should be very happy and consider themselves blessed, but being beautiful doesn't mean your shallow or unintelligent, just as being less attractive doesn't mean your less of a person or beneath people's notice.
Personality wise, you are one of my favorites on the show, and seem more intelligent than you give yourself credit for, so just be yourself and ignore the useless space-wasters.
san antonio loves you, taylor!
hey taylor... it's sara and i understand exactly what ur saying, at least u have the guts to put urself out there and who the hell care if u misspell words and/or dont use punctuation... its ur blog, so u decide and don't worry about the haters... they suck and you rule... im 23 also, so i understand how u feel and what ur going thru, but who cares what neone else thinks.... YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love listening to u on the radio cuz i can relate to u, so keep on doin ur own thing becuz its awesome and the haters are just ppl who really dont have nething better to do than drag other ppl down into their pit of misery, so keep ur head up chicka
Taylor you are great. I love listening to you on the show. Don't worry about the flight, we all do it. A couple weeks ago I booked a flight with the departure city and arrival city reversed- that cost an extra $150. Then I got the time wrong for the return trip home, we missed the plane and almost had to buy new tickets. We got stuck in that city and I had to get a hotel room for the night- $60, and I missed an extra day of work- $100 (new job, no time off). The whole weekend trip was a disaster. You are not alone...
Hey Taylor, I've been listening to the show for a long time and just took the time to check out the website. I read your blog and I have to say it was very enjoyale and REALLY honest. I appreciate it and I hope you do just that and dont let idiots drag you down.
Your doin what you love so dont listen to em, i'll continue to listen. Have fun and keep smiling. --Thadd
Taylor,
I'm so sorry that people have been saying things to make you feel this way. You are wonderful on the show and I love what you bring everyday. You have WAY more fans than haters. I know it's easy to say "don't let it get to you" but you have a wonderful family, great friends, and an awesome job that's like a second family. Just try to focus on that and all of the POSITIVE comments you get. Keep your chin up and know that there are so many of us out there rooting for you!
OMG TAYLOR YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! YOU ARE SO GORGEOUS! YOU'RE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING TO EVER WALK THE PLANET!
I HOPE I BOOSTED YOUR EGO SOME =)
Taylor, I hate you so much, therefore, I am jealous of you and want to be you. =) HURRAY!
Why would I want to be somebody I hated? lol
Taylor.. I think you should look for another job, I really like you, you're too nice, but working in radio is not your thing.
Taylor, you are great and you need to believe it. You're not perfect and nobody else can truthfully claim that they are, either. I realize that there are quite a few unhappy people who are going to post mean things about you, but they're the ones that look bad...not you. I am 24 years old and although that may seem young to some, I at least have the decency that if I didn't like someone, I wouldn't drop down to the elementary school letter and try to hurt them. All it does is reveal something about the person commenting (that they're a miserable person who feeds on causing misery because it's true: misery loves company), and it says absolutely nothing about you. I've heard some of the comments made about you, and I honestly just don't get it. You are beautiful, you are good at your job, and I think you have been a great addition to the show! I think the ones that are being hateful are the ones who resent the fact that you're beautiful and good at what you do. If people disliked me for those reasons, well too bad for them because I'm not going to try to be someone else just so everyone will like me. To sum up, you're awesome, talented, and beautiful and don't listen to the miserable people filled with hate. Would you really want to be friends with someone like that anyways?
P.S. I know people will read this and say that they say mean things to you yet they are happy. They're lying or in denial...simple as that.
My name is Becky from Prairieville, Louisiana...I have to sign in as anonymous but I want you to know that I'm proud to support you.
Taylor, Don't listen to Becky when she says "You're not perfect and nobody else can truthfully claim that they are, either."
YOU ARE PERFECT!!!!
Don't let anybody tell you otherwise!
You're so beautiful, you're so skinny, you're so pretty, you're so lovely, you're everything that everybody in the world wants to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope I boosted your ego some, because there is no such thing as inner beauty. This whole world loves fake people such as yourself. Always remember that. The world loves you.
There's nothing wrong with being a dorky 23 year old girl (atleast I hope not, if there is... I'm in trouble). Everyone of us goes through the same things... you are just doing it with attention. Don't let them get you down. You're awesome!
Wow, there must be some sad and pathetic people out there that have nothing better to do than criticize and bring you down. I feel sorry for them...don't let them get to you! Keep up the good work!
Hi Taylor, I listen to the show every morning and I love it. You really add something fresh to the show. I really enjoy your input and you are funny. Your voice is sweet on the radio, hope you are on for a long time. The Kitty Kat video is great, you and the other girls are beautiful and look great. Keep up the good work, I'll be listening. I listen to ya'll on 105.5 The Kat in Paducah, KY.
Love You, Doug
Listen up Tay Tay! More people love you than hate you. By the looks of things it’s a lot more. I’m glad you published this post. As many have said here; negatives always ‘seem’ to carry more weight than positives. Think about this for a second. What do hear in the news media constantly? We hear the bad news. We hear what everyone does wrong. Kinda reminds me of the old Don Henley song “Dirty Laundry”. People are conditioned for it. The world is place that has long lost the need to support one another. Instead everyone is out for themselves. And worst (non criminal) of all is jealous greed. Those are the haters that shout at us. They are the ones who need more help for themselves yet they fear their own true failure by lashing out at others.
You, my friend, are a great person. Tay, you did a great thing here opening up and pouring out your soul. Not many have the courage to do that. By doing so, you have definitely risen up as a better person. Not that you weren’t a good person before. What I mean is it’s one more step towards who you really are. It’s hard for anyone to let others know who they really are especially in the public eye. But I can tell you this. Those who become equally respected and admired in the public are those who keep real to themselves and those who follow them. In my opinion that is the key. Be who you are and be real. Don’t be a character because you think that’s what others want. It never works. Well, not for long anyway. You were kind of thrown into the spotlight in a very short time. You’ve learned a lot along the way. You will learn a lot more.
Read all the posts here even the negatives. You’ll quickly see and realize what those negatives mean. They mean nothing because they are all baseless and transparent. You poured your heart out and people returned the emotion by pouring out theirs. Connect with your readers and listeners like you’ve done here, you’ll continue to grow positively and so will they. Imagine if you ended up inspiring and turned around just one of the people who possess hatred out of their own fears. Now that would be a reward to behold.

Yikes! Sorry for the double post (especially since it's so loooong, lol). My browser decided to flip out on me!

Taylor-
I'm a 23 year old girl and LOVE that you are on the show. You bring so much to the show and I'm sure that you are helping attract a younger audience (and more male listeners!) Don't let the negativity bring you down- those people are only jealous of you. (or are too OLD and set in their ways) I'll be totally honest with you- I stereotyped you as soon as you got on the show. But I realized that about MYSELF and gave you a chance. I realized that nothing was wrong with you, but that I wanted to be and always wanted to be the pretty popular girl that you are. People will always be quick to judge- but I wonder how many of them would be able to do what you do and do it half as good as you. And about grammar mistakes- have you SEEN the message board??? Others mess it up just as much! Anyways, just know that you are doing a great job! If anything, you need to speak up more :) I'm a huge fan of yours!
Hey Taylor,
I just wanted to say that I 100 percent understand. I'm just starting out in the media world (24 years old) and it's tough trying to find yourself, especially when there are a bunch of JERKS out there trying to tell you that you are no good. Don't listen to them girl!! I love listening to you in the morning and think it's so wonderful you get the opportunity that you do! Most people would give their left arm to get to do some of the things you do. SO take everything said that's negative with a grain of salt. Focus on the positive and the constructive. (For the haters, why not give some constructive feedback on how to IMPROVE instead of being nasty and rude....that speaks volumes of you as a person....)Life is good girl, and there are plenty of people out there that love and support you!!! Keep doing the good work and find your way! (HA! We'll get it all figured out someday!!!)
Wow....some people are so hateful! It seems like people have no boundaries anymore. What happened to "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"? I guess these people think just because they don't like you should be taken off the show. Who cares about all the other fans out there who enjoy listening to you.....and they call YOU self-absorbed!
Taylor,
I just want you to know that you are great. The people that write hateful things are just jealous, insecure people, and you should really feel sorry for them rather than let their negative words impact you. I don't know why there are people in this world that feel it is their job to bring others down, but I think they must be very lonely - and miserable - people. You should be you and don't let the negative people change you. Even if they don't realize it themselves, they all probably want to BE you. And, in my opinion, the definition of 'perfect' is so subjective.
TAYLOR DONT WORRY ABOUT IT. YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT; NOT FOR THE SATISFACTION OF OTHERS. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME BEING UPSET OVER SOMETHING SOMEONE SAID. IS IT REALLY WORTH IT? I MEAN THINK ABOUT IT. LIFE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING TO BE WASTED THAT WAY. LIVE UP TO YOUR OWN EXPECTATIONS!
Taylor dont worry about all that stuff people are saying u have natural beauty and are have an amazing personality u are a big reason i still listen to the show i love to her ur take on thing we have all heard kidds and kellys and al's but its nice to hear what someone thats the same age as me has to think
thanks and keep it up
Taylor,
GROW UP and quit whining. Sure you are cute, but realize that cute only gets you so far in life.
Usually the people who take the time to get on here and leave hateful words are the ones that are jealous. So just ignore them. I know stuff gets under your skin but part of that comes with the reality of being on the radio and being a mini celebrity. Just focus on the comments that are good because those are the people that will help you get through the slumps!!
Taylor,
I read your blog and completely agree with you. I don't understand why people have to "hate" so much. Obviously, they are the ones with the problem and are just trying to make themselves feel better by bashing everyone else around them.
I know it's easier said than done, but FORGET about all the rude things people say. Your energy is better spent on positive things. Yes, we have all made mistakes in our lives and our parents may not have taught us everything we needed to know, but we all try our hardest every day.
As long as you can go to sleep at night and feel that you have added something positive to at least one person's day than you are on the right track!
Keep up the faith and most importantly know that each day you are working on becoming the best you that you can be!
Taylor, I am 40 (female) and love hearing you on the radio. I think you appeal to the young and older listeners. I prefer hearing your stories to Kellie's anyday but that is my taste others probably love her stories and can relate. I guess what I want to say is not to let people get you down. WSometimes they have to bring you down so they have to feel better about themselves. I wish I was as confidnet as you are at 23! You are beautiful and funny. Keep your chin up and to hell with the negative comments!
Oh my god Taylor, I can't believe you care about inner beauty at all. You know that's not true and you could never accomplish that! Just keep looking GORGEOUS and flaunting your naked body to all the men.
You rock Taylor! I enjoy your blogs and love you on the show! I know it has to be hard but don't let the haters bother you and remember for every hater there is someone out here who thinks your awesome!
Taylor - I think you're doing a great job on the show and I always enjoy listening to what you have to say. Keep your head up and have a good weekend!
Taylor,
You are great on the show and you should just keep on being you. I love that you are sensitive to other peoples feelings(execpt for the haters). I really had respect for you when you told Kellie that of all the gifts you would give her, it would be a special mirror so she could see how beautiful she is on the outside as she is on the inside. Well I think you should follow those words for yourself. You bring a fresh, young feel to the show and it's great!
Beth
I hate to tell you but it doesn't matter how old you get, you will always be faced with hateful people. You are a wonderful addition to the show and I look forward to my drive to work in the mornings to hear all of you. Keep up the great work girl! :)
Jamie
Taylor,
Since I'm too lazy to open an account, technically I'm "anonymous" but my name is Laura and I'm a listener from Lubbock, TX.
Reading your blog made me tear up with emotion for you. It breaks my heart that all those mean-spirited, hateful, unhappy people are actually accomplishing what they set out to do, squash your spirit! All I can say is, I'm 31 and it does get easier, as you get older, to say "to hell with them all!" But I feel so sad for you because I know exactly how you feel. I too wish I knew what to say to you to make it click for you that they are IDIOTS! You are beautiful, talented, spirited and add so much to the show! Keep up the phenomenal job you do and good luck, you will get past this!
Hey Tay just read your blog and i just dont understand some people. ive just read some of the other comments they have left you i dont know where they get the nerve to say that stuff. I dont know how they think like that about you and other people in this world. I know they are getting you down but dont let them get the best of you. you add so much personality to the show. Your great! words cannot explain how much fun you are .I just can not comprehend why those people said that stuff. they OBVIOUSLY have problems with them selves and cannot accept the wonderful people(you) that actrually serve a purpose in life. I love you tay you are absoulutly wonderful.take care. Amy
Taylor,
I think you're awesome. I admit last year when they had the contest to add a new younger girl to the show I was disappointed- only because I hate change and enjoyed listening to to Kelly, Kidd, and Al. It didn't take long for you to grow on me. I remember you digging in the dumpster for a Louis Vuitton handbag, and I was laughing so hard on my way to work. Just keep doing what you're doing and you will be successful in life. Thanks for making me laugh every morning :o)

Taylor! Own your Hottness and let the other people be jealous!
A listner from Oregon:)
Hi Taylor,
It's amazing how small minded and ridiculous folks can be when they have nothing better to do with their time.
Look at it this way...you've been charitable in giving them an outlet to relieve themselves of their pent up anger. Anger at you?..Probably not..Anger at their own pathetic situations?..probably so.
So thanks for helping them. Thanks for giving them the opportunity to play billy badass for a day. I'm sure it made them feel so much bigger and better and more important to say ugly things to you while they hide behind their computers.
Keep your head up lady. You are a valuable part of the morning show and the station realizes that.
And to the folks slamming you every chance they get...and you know who you are...is your own life really THAT sad that you have nothing better or more productive to do than be a bully on a blog?? If so...I really feel sorry for you. Grow up already.
Ann -Austin, TX
As a mom, (of 17 & 21) I will tell you that there are mean, sick people out there. They enjoy hurting and hating. You just have to say a prayer for them as they are eaten by jealousy, anger and righteousness. Then move on. As a long time listener, I remember some of the ugly, ugly things people would say to Kellie and how hurt she would be. You will never loose that sense of shock over people's ugliness, but perhaps you'll learn how to put it into better perspective as you continue in this industry or other business endeavors. You were hired for a reason, it wasn't a fluke. And you have succeeded on your own talents, not just because you're attractive. And as for being on time...at 49 years old, it's still a challenge for me. People like us just have to give ourselves LOTS of time to get where we need to be. Do it for you. You'll feel less stress and won't disappoint others.
Taylor, I think you're great. I love your optimism. You bring a fresh outlook to the show. Keep up the good work!
Taylor you are AMAZING! Don't listen to the haters! You are doing a great job! Enjoy this amazing opportunity and don't worry about all of the mean negative people- if they are not bagging on you they would be bagging on someone else!
Tay,
Look at it this way...when people climb Mt. Everest, the ones that make it have trained and prepared and worked hard each step. And it's not easy for them. You're climbing a Mt. Everest. You've joined a profession that is going to be brutal. Everybody's got something to say about celebrities. You can't look at your job as a personal judgment day or it'll kill you, girl. These people don't know you, do they? Then how in the world can you let your judgment be so clouded to start taking what they say personally? Again, this is just a step in the climb. You're an extremely intelligent young lady who put herself out there to get on this show and succeeded. And you don't sound like an amateur. And each week you get better (in my opinion). And if Kidd or any of the other management are smart, they are telling you it's going to be tough because you are in the spotlight, and you will have days that you question yourself and with maturity you'll learn to celebrate your "wins" as well as your failures.
But here's the biggest question for you: Hasn't anybody told you to just stop reading the blogs? When you go to a doctor and you say, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." His advice is: "Well, don't do that!"
You're a very talented girl and you are very fortunate to have this job. Don't let anybody rain on your parade...and lose perspective that this is your profession. And with any new profession, you have to train...so just keep training (like a climb for Mt. Everest)...
You're going to be fine!
Signed,
One of your older fans
Taylor, I'm another older/wiser listener here that wants to advise you not to listen to the people that hate you. You've put yourself in a very public job/position and are open to all kinds of nuts.
The problem is, you ARE a very beautiful, funny, sweet girl (or appear to be!!) and women (girls!) tend to get nasty and jealous. They're insecure about themselves so to make themselves feel better they take someone like you and try to bring them down as well.
The internet is another awful culprit because I could sit here and type whatever I want about you with no consequenses. None of these people would have the balls to say these things to your face.
Also, think about how sad and pathetic their lives must be if they have nothing better to do than track you down online and say hateful things????
My suggestion is turn OFF your comments on the blog. Don't let anyone comment good or bad. And ignore the message board. I'm sure the station has moderators to control what's said there and can remove ugly things for you. It's not healthy.
Big hugs to you. I feel your pain in reading your blog and it makes me sad that complete strangers out there feel the need to do this to you. But you let them win when it upsets you.
It's easy for people to be nasty when they're not saying it to your face. Take the high road. I don't know you but you come off as a fun, genuine person on the radio.
Beyond that, I'll resist the temptation to say you're smokin' too.....crap haha.
myspace.com/jfreak762
Taylor-hold your head high girl! You are beautiful, inside and out! All those people that are writing hateful things about you are just jealous! Let them talk because its real easy to say something nasty about someone online, that's the coward way out! You deserve to be on the show, Kidd must think so too since he keeps you on it! You make me laugh so much and remind me so much of myself! I could totally see us being bff's! Don't get down on yourself, that's what they want! Be strong nd hold your head high and proud! You are an amazing person!
Lots of Love!
I think you are the best thing since sliced bread...believe in yourslef and know that there are tons of fans on your side and I enjoy starting the day listening to you and the crew!
Taylor,
When you are good at what you do, there are always going to be people who want to bring you down. There are going to be people who will pull out all the stops and hurt you in the deepest aspectsor you and reach out to hurt your inner soul.
AT the wise old age of 38, I have seen this play out time and time again. I am a nurse, who is great at her job. You are great at your job. When one is good or great at their job, there will always be people who want to crush your spirit, and hurt you in the worst way possible.
Girl, hold your head up high. Walk proud. Honestly, it took me a while to warm up to you. Change takes time to accept. You are a valuable part of KKITM. Living in the public eye is difficult, I assume.
Feel sorry for the ones who do not know you, and want to say horrible things to you. You should feel sad for them, because they have nothing better in their life than to lash out at you, someone they do not know.
Let it go, and be proud of yourself.
Hi Taylor,
I am not one to leave comments to blogs, but this one requires a response. It is appalling to think there are people out there who can say the kinds of cruel things people have messaged you lately. I don't know you, but I do know that no one deserves to be treated the way people have treated you. Any decent human being would never spew the kind of hate that you have been subjected to, and they should be pitied for their ignorance and hate. You seem like an intelligent, funny and kind person. You can only be responsible for your own actions, not the way other people choose to act. They have to live with themselves, just hold your head up high and remember that they don't really know you and have no room to judge you.
Megan
These people who have the time to sit here and criticize every last word and move you make obviously have NO life of there own. They are probably big, fat, desperate losers and cant stand the fact that you are so pretty, funny and have a great job that you enjoy. They are probably sitting at work in their dead-in job they hate, or at home on their computers hating life and it makes them feel better to bring them down. You have brought so much to the show and make me laugh every morning. Keep it up! I have never posted a comment on here and have only been reading ya'lls blogs for about a month - but felt it was needed just to let you know that you do a great job - you can't let pathetic people like that bring you down.Have a WONDERFUL week!
Hi Taylor,
I just read your blog and wondered why you hadn't posted anything for awhile. Well, girly, pick yourself up and refuse to let anyone step on you. A few things I will address to you, first you got the job based on a contest but you know what, you have kept that job and if I'm not mistaken you even got a contract now, and no matter how you got there you have proved yourself morning in and morning out that you deserve that job because of your hard work. Second, you are young and still discovering who you are and what works for you, read/listen to criticisms people write/say about you, both good and bad and take those things that will make you a better person for you and relish in the good comments for a minute or two and then move on. These are people's opinions and just cause they write/say something about you doesn't make it true. Finally, any changes you make, make them because you want to and because they benefit you and your world. No matter what, you will never please everyone and someone will always have something negative to say, make a promise to yourself that when you read negative comments about you that you will take a deep breath, smile and think of something positive about yourself and move on. You can't let those comments hurt you, cause they will, but only if you let them.
Keep up the good work!!!! I listen to you guys every morning and look forward to hearing you grow in your career. Live life and be happy!!!!!
Girls Rule!!!!!
Abbey
Taylor:
I just wanted to let you know that I think you are awesome! I admire the way you are positive and always encouraging to the other people on the show. The whole "kiddy kat" video is a perfect example. The entire time you guys were talking about having to do the video, you were always the positive one in the group talking about how cool it will be getting to wear the costumes or how great Kellie and Shanon looked. Regardless of if people like you or not, the truth is that you do bring positive things to the show. And I especially liked the letter you wrote to Kellie in a bit that you guys did, I don't remember exactly when that was, I just rememeber thinking how much extra you put into yours. You took an opportunity to tell Kellie how much you admired her. I think that's really cool. Keep at it and keep your positive attitude. I have always heard that good things happen to positive people!! And I know that you are a positive person, don't let those others get you down, your better than that. The only real thing that matters is that at the end of the day, you feel good about who you are and are proud of the person you have become.
Hi Taylor, the entertainment industry is full of critics and thats the field you have chosen. In life you cant please all the people all the time and I know it must seem worse for you because you are a public person and it must seem like everyone is against you but a lot of the criticism is on your side too. The negative things people say are just opinions and all that matters is that you still have your job.
Hey Taylor - Just wanted to give some words of encouragement - the thing I was thinking while reading your blog is that you should ask Kidd for a list of the Four Agreements - just print them out and read them everyday. I have not read the book and don't really care to - but I read the agreements everyday and it actually helps - especially when people are being very cruel to you. It helps you realize that it is not because of you - it is their projection onto you. As for figuring things out - just keep at it - I am in my mid 30's and still have yet to figure out many things. As for the show - I think you are doing a great job. They could not have asked for a better winner. Like you say at the end of the show - think about it - keep looking up because?
wow....i hate haters. seriously taylor, it seems like the most negative and hateful people can dish the hate, but can't take it. if only all the negative people left their blog addresses so that you could constantly harass them...the shoe would be on the other foot then, wouldn't it?
keep on smilin'!:)
HI taylor
I have to admit that while I have never posted anything nasty about you, I have thought about it but strictly from a professional standpoint.
Honestly I DO roll my eyes at some of the comments that you make. Your insecurity is transparent.
While I say this, I also want to say that you can only be who you are going to be, and sometimes that means seperating that professional from a personal life. When you are a "personality" people will mix the two and your own insecurity about your performance and taking on dark criticism from strangers will drag you down too. It's like you are sinking and you only have one life jacket. The more people you take on, the farther down it will take you.
Blah....whatever. I don't mean to be critical. But it is endearing that you would open yourself up like that. Shows people your human side which is important.
Ohh Taylor...
i think you are adorable!
people are jealous because you are a happy and beautiful, the two things everyone would kill for, people only say things like that when there miserable with themselves.
ALTHOUGH..i do disagree with you
spencer (the hills) 100% Jerk!!!
i think you are so wrong about him!!
But your sweet everyone likes you and so what you act your age theres nothing wrong with it!
Just laugh your cute laugh and forget about the people who try to bring ya down.
They just want what you got!
You do WAY too much hand motions... it's really terrible looking in the interview... and that's a pretty skanky bottom piece you have on...
Taylor, there are always negitive people who are thrown into your life to challenge and test you, but by overcoming these challenges, you become a stronger person. I know alot of how you feel, being a 19 year old student transferring from UNT, where I have a reputation as a "partier", to Seminary; I get alot of negitivity and harshness from people, even people I don't even know!! I imagine you get alot of this negitivity from people because they are jealous, insecure, or even just bored. You are doing an amazing job on the show, and make an awesome addition!! You are also a very beauitful woman, and even though everyone is insecure on one level or another, you have no reason to be. Have an amazing day, and feel better. Just remember, you are never alone in times of need =]
(ps- i know how you feel with grammer...i'm horrible at it!!)
I think it's really pathetic that you devoted an entire blog to begging for sympathy. Be grateful for what you have. You obviously got more in life than you deserve.
Hey Taylor. I want to be honest with you..when I first started listening to the show, I wasn't wild about you. You are now my favorite on the show. When your contract was up if they were going to let you go I wasn't going to listen anymore. You help make the show what it is. You are always so upbeat and I think that is great. Becasue of you I have a better outlook in the mornings.
I am a single mom to two little girls and I hope when they are your age they are as positive and sweet and successful as you are. You can tell that you honestly love your job and you have a passion for it. That is all anyone wants.
The people that write negative things about you are just jealous. Delete the negative comments and remember you are a beautiful girl inside and out.
TAYLOR,
I THINK THAT ALL OF THE IDIOTS WHO POST NEGATIVE AT HATEFUL THINGS UNDER "ANONYMOUS" ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF COWARDS...IM SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT PERFECT(OBVIOUSLY)...I AM 21 AND AM VERY SENSATIVE, BUT I AM SLOWLY BECOMING MORE CONFIDENT AND STANDING UP FOR MYSELF, I KNOW ITS HARD, BUT SOMETIME YOU JUST HAVE TO IGNORE ALL THE MORONS OUT THERE:)..YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!!! I LOVE THE SHOW! I AM A LONGTIME LISTENER AND YOU GUYS ARE A WONDERFUL COMBINATION OF PEOPLE!!! LOVE, ALLISON
Taylor, I think you are great. I have always been a hit or miss listener even though I love everyone on Kidd Kraddick but I listen everyday day now because of you.You crack me up! You can't please everyone, there will always be people who don't like you but oh well. Focus on the positive.
Taylor - I read your blog for the first time today...then I read a few of the comments...it hurts my feelins for you how mean people are. But as many of them said - you have taken a job that most people would kill for and that exposes you to millions of people...you just have to take the good with the bad...tons of people love you and think you're awesome...try to concentrate on that!! Love ya - keep up the great work!!!! - brittany!
If you are all the things that you say you are, then channel "their" negeative energy into something positive. People who don't know you are in no position to judge you, so don't let them. You'll never change people's minds by complaining about it-that only adds fuel to their fire. If you look to others to measure your self worth, which we all do, then look to the people who actually know you, i.e. your friend Jenny--your real friends are the ones which remind you how wonderful you are-not random bloggers--not even me.
You're great and YES the haters are JEALOUS. I bet they couldn't do half the things you do or look half as good as you do. So they try to get you down.
They can't handle the fact you have something they wish they had.
Don't listen to other people's hateful comments, I think many people are jealous and insecure about themselves so they have to put other people down to make themselves feel better, but they are only fooling themselves. The things they say have no benefit to anyone, sometimes when I read the crap that is out there I really wish I could get back the time I spent reading it and use it somewhere more productively, its honestly such a waste. Taylor, keep your head up, I think you are doing a great job and you should be very proud of yourself!
Tay,
Rayray in San Antonio loves and supports you 100%. Stay strong and there are many of us that have your back.
I wanted to let you know Taylor that whoever is leaving hateful messages on your blogs has no life..why would anyone in there right mind want to say hurtful things to you. I listen to the show every morning on my way to work and I think that you sound like a very sweet warm hearted person. Im not a good writer either and I have not idea how to punctuate. I think that you have to just let it roll off your back and just know that you are a good person and you give it 100% everyday with all you do.
Screw the mean people in this world.
I think you are GREAT!
Hey taylor ... u are an awesome women dont let crap like that bother ya so much .... keep up the great smile and enjoy life ....
Taylor, I've been listening to the show for over 10 years but now that you and JC have joined, it's more complete. I love it more than ever. You're very cute inside and out. YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB! please ignore the ugly comments, they wish they were you:)
Taylor, don't let people get you down. I don't take criticisms very well and I'm pretty sensitive (so my family tells me), but I've learned after years of being a doormat, :) that there are just mean people in the world. They have to try to bring other people down because they're unhappy with themselves. The thing that has helped me is that when I start to get really upset or mad at someone because of what they did, I just say a little prayer for them because getting upset just hurts you because they don't care. And yes, that's easy to say, but hard to do! :)
You're great! Keep up the good work!
RE: James Blunt...I watched the post interview and he was so into you and (in my opinion) it was because you're genuine. You were like an innocent, nervous little girl all excited, not because he's famous, but because you really liked his music and I think that's what attracted him to you (besides the fact that you're very pretty).
Hey Taylor, I have been listening to the show as much as I can. I just want to say that you add A LOT of great things to the show. No matter what you do, you can never please everyone. There will always be somebody who will say negative things about you because people suck and they have nothing better to do than tear apart people who they will never have to face. I think it would be really hard to read that crap and not internalize it, but just know that it isn't true!!! It is normal for girls of any age to want to look and feel pretty. If people say they don't, they're lying! I admire you for reading all the horrible crap and still being yourself. Screw all the negative people, and remember the good things that people write. :)

Honey, stop apologizing for yourself. You seem like such a sweet person with so much to offer. It's not about being thick skinned it's about believing in yourself and I do not think that you do. Don't worry about about all of the haters. You're young and beautiful and have a very fun job. They are just jealous. Listen, I don't even recognize myself at 23. I do know I had a fabulous time and surrounded my self with people that wanted to be around me. I look back at my "mistakes" and think of them only as learning experiences. Now,(10 yrs. later) I am a happily married mommy. Enjoy yourself, take risks and make no apologies. Own every moment. Chin up, keep up the good work!!

p.s. How is your great grandmother?
Omg I was listening today when you said you pluck your eyebrows in the car. I totally agree. Everyone in my family carries tweezers in their car! It is the best light! I love it!
Taylor,
There are only 3 people that you have to impress, in no particular order, the higher power you individually believe in, the person that signs your paycheck, and finally the face you see in the mirror. That truly is all. Hell, you are only 23, you have 3/4 of your life to live yet. As you grow remember that whenever you tell people of your problems half don't care and the other half are glad that you have them. Just continue being who you are, constantly growing and if people don't like it *u*k 'em!
You are the reason why I listen to Kid Kraddick in the morning.
Ahhhh...showbiz. Do you really want it?
I actually think you have tremendous potential, but you should avoid hitting on your guests. It's tacky and unprofessional. Starf***ers are kinda looked down upon in the biz.
Ok, get over yourself and post something else. This blog is old news and by now I'm sure there has been enough positive feedback to boost your low self esteem. No need to run it into the ground! How bout blogging about all the male guests that you have hooked up with? Funny, they never call you back??? Don't be so trashy. Noone wants a chick that has been around as much as you. You should be a little pickier!

Jake... your quote made absolutely no sense. Please tell your mom to retake English.
Taylor... get over yourself. You're not the center of everybody's attention, so stop acting like it.
