Although she is hated now for being a "serial dater", I love Taylor Swift. She is the recipient of 7 Grammys, 15 AMAs and lots of love from her 39m twitter followers. She writes songs from her heart and recently said that revealing her skin is not nearly as daring or bold as being truthful about the people you write about. Truly an inspiration. My favorite songs by her are Mean, I Knew You Were Trouble, Love Story and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.
Bruno Mars
Known for writing relatable love songs, Bruno Mars is another pop sensation who I love. My favorite songs by him include Grenade, Treasure, Just the Way You Are and Count on Me.
Plumb
I found this amazing singer through the show 'The Vampire Diaries' since her songs were heavily featured at key emotional moments. Her vocal range is amazing and her music is very angsty, which I find very relatable. Her songs make for great writing music as well. My favorites are Cut, Damaged, Invisible and Chocolate and Icecreams.
Katy Perry
Every one of her songs is catchy. That is basically all you need to know about Katy Perry. Though troubled by her personal life and early divorce from Russell Brand, she has definitely emerged on the other side with a 'Roar''. Bold, provocative yet surprisingly honest, her songs are very inspiring. My favorite songs by her include Hot N Cold, California Girls, Firework, Wide Awake, I Kissed A Girl and Hummingbird Heartbeat.
