Ts Reputation - Tumblr Posts

Something funny I realised recently is that Taylor still has that image of a hopeless romantic, sweet girl waiting for her knight in a white horse cemented in everyone's minds but if you think about it, last time she truly fell in love hard for someone before Joe was literally Jake Gyllenhaal when she was 20 years old (maybe some people would argue Harry Styles but Idk I feel like what really linguered there was what could've been rather than what actually happened — which was a really troubled, short relationship haunted by their fame). I feel like what she went through with that breakup really changed her..

And I have the impression that that's why Joe meant so much to her, it was really something she hadn't experienced in a while and practically ever in her whole adult life. And why Reputation felt so strikingly romantic, like, listening to it now it's literally all I can gather from it. She was sooo ridiculously in love with every bit of that man. 😭

And at that time she was a bit disillusioned with love, and had been for a minute [read interview for her Lucky cover in 2014]... Songs like Is it over now, Hits different and The bolter tell us that she actually started seeing herself as (and behaving like) a serial dater? someone who's afraid of love, who had trouble trusting others, couldn't open up emotionally and commit to relationships and bc of that was maybe pretty shitty to a lot of guys (which I don't judge at all and, in fact, even support 😌)

I guess what I'm trying to say is, that innocent, romantic, loving girl died pretty soon in her career and life... a lot of the past years she was in reality struggling with trauma from being groomed both by fame and past boyfriends 😕
