T Swift History and Belated Thoughts on reputation
I've been a fan of Taylor Swift since Speak Now in 2010. On that album, she spends time wishing some of her exes would take her back. Her next album Red also references past relationships. With a new chapter of my life (college), came a new Taylor Swift album, the completely pop- 1989 . This captures her journey of moving to an unfamiliar place and dealing with haters. She also discusses her relationship with Harry Styles. (You may have your own thoughts on those references, but it's pretty clear.) After 1989 , Taylor took a break from writing and was involved in some heavy drama (think Kanye and Kim, her breakup with Calvin Harris, and fling (?) with Tom Hiddleston). Who knows if she had time to write? Then rumors began last fall that a new album was on the horizon. Would Taylor address the drama of two summers ago? Would she move on with no hint of her side of the story? The album art alone proved this was not the case. I learned suddenly that she had a new boyfriend. W
