I have loved her since she Teardrops on my Guitar and Tim McGraw which is not creepy because we are the same age
Just wanna point out I’ve had Taylor Swift as my avatar since the beginning so I’m a self-proclaimed expert on everything Taylor Swift.
Billy Shakes didn’t have the ending she wanted. "Love Story" came along late into the production of Fearless.[3] Swift wrote "Love Story" about a man who was never officially her boyfriend. When she introduced him to her family and friends, they did not become fond of him.[4] "His situation was a little complicated, but I didn't care", said Swift.[5] Swift also felt like it was the first time she could relate to the plot of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet(1597), one of her favorite narratives, which she described as, "The only people who wanted them to be together were them."[4] She conceived the idea for the song when she reflected about the scenario: "I thought, 'This is difficult but it's real, it matters—it's not simple or easy but it's real'." She then centered the song on the line, which was ultimately placed in the "Love Story"'s second refrain.[6] All events, with the exclusion of the end, narrated in the song regarded Swift's actual story. The song's conclusion differed from that of Romeo and Juliet. "I feel like they had such promise and they were so crazy for each other. And if that had just gone a little bit differently, it could have been the best love story ever told. And it is one of the best love stories ever told, but it's a tragedy." Instead, she chose to write a happy ending.[7] She took her favorite characters and conceptualized the ending she believed they deserved.[8] She perceived it to be the ideal ending that girls hoped for, including herself.[6] "You want a guy who doesn’t care what anyone thinks, what anyone says." Although it was fictional, Swift said it was an enjoyable experience to write about.[5] Swift wrote the track on her bedroom floor in approximately twenty minutes, feeling too inspired to put the song down unfinished.[4] Swift and her love interest continued their relationship, but then separated because it was hard for them to see each other.[7] To Swift, the song resembles much optimism regarding love and how encountering the right person could surpass skepticism.[8] She deemed "Love Story" one of her most romantic songs, although she was never in an official relationship with the subject of the song.[4] In retrospect, Swift said the song is "about a love that you've got to hide because for whatever reason it wouldn't go over well", adding "I spun it in the direction of Romeo and Juliet. Our parents are fighting. I relate to it more as a love that you cannot really elaborate on — a love that maybe society wouldn't accept [or] maybe your friends wouldn't accept."[9]
I didn't realize they were going to release a stripped down, acoustic version of the album with the movie. Very happy about that.
So my 7 year old daughter has become infatuated with early Taylor. I think I've heard Teardrops on my Guitar about 50 times in the last 2 days. I ain't even mad.
My 3 year old has done the same thing. She tells me which videos she wants to watch and dances in front of the TV. I've watched all of her old videos about 50 times over the last couple weeks and I'm not even remotely mad. One of her favorites is the live medley from the 2019 AMA's when she won Artist Of The Decade. She loves the ballet dancers at the end (she is currently in ballet).
Honestly the fact that Taylor actually writes and performs a song like “this is me trying” is one of the main reasons that she is one of the biggest musicians in the world Such a honest and refreshing person and song
Exile is my favorite song on folklore, but hearing her talking about epiphany/knowing what it's about has it in second. Shit really resonates, amazing writing.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love this album any more; listening to the thought process and explanations behind the songs just takes it to another level. She really is an amazing writer.
Ok, top songs? 4 of my top 5 exile illicit affairs august peace I imagine the rest of the album is right there if they expanded the list though
I expected that TSwift would be ending Ed Sheeran’s reign after 2 years on top but I didn’t expect The Beatles to take 2nd place and knock him to 3rd
My initial response here was nervousness. Like hitting a walk off grand slam and then stepping to the plate again. But then I realized this is Taylor Swift.
she has record 2 brand new albums and re-recorded all of her old albums in one year the one good thing about 2020
