Personally, her Red era was most iconic to me. The red lips, black, red and white outfit combos and blunt bangs? Gorgeous
1989 too
yesss
true
I never realized how well she pulled of red lips it was so effortless
Plus she was way happier.
I’ve never intentionally listened to Taylor Swift but passively watching her grow and succeed I have a lot of respect for her.
She did not apologize to Kate. As a spoiled child she is. Kate only apologized even though she was not wrong because she has a good heart. What Taylor doesn't deserve.
Feminist? LOL

@@rosanaconta3416 if you mean Katy Perry, Taylor literally had her be in her music video so they can make amends, do you really think she didn't apologize? just because it wasn't done publicly doesn't mean it wasn't done
Same!!
Taylor swift knows how to make an era and style with it all her look throughout the 1989 era street styles is sooo good
I like to think Taylor Swift is one of the reasons why crop tops and high wasited shorts, skirts and pants became popular again for a while in 2012,13 and 14.
I had a ruptured berry aneurysm reading this
@@James52172 hellppppppp
@@ToyCircle considering that defined some fashion choices made as a teen in my experience, yeah thats pretty fair
I had to read this several times before realizing you meant "throughout" lol but I completely agree. That's my favourite era
I don’t normally comment on videos, and I don’t know much about fashion or Taylor Swift, but I just wanted to say how blown away I am by the level of research and analysis in this video. So well done. I watched the entire thing and was enraptured. Thank you so much for your hard work on this.
Totally agree. Blown away with the analysis.
Right! Thats what i love about her :))
I agree! I love ModernGurlz level of detail and analysis with all her videos.
This one is especially great!! I love how she maps out the evolution of Taylor’s outfits, stylings, fashion trends, media-both traditional and social, and her overall brand. Personally, I think the influence is the other way around-with the wider fashion trends being purposefully chosen for Taylor, who epitomizes and mirrors each trend, vs the videos analysis that she is the trendsetter creating the trends. Just given all the other celebrities and fashion designers having already adopted or adopting the looks at the same time. But kudos to her and all her masterful stylists over the years. No matter what she’s been criticized for, it’s never been for looking bad. She’s like the ideal/idol of American Fashion, like a time capsule wardrobe, so the comment about America’s Barbie Doll seems very apt.
@@carolinehirko7632 That I totally agree on! Taylor Swift is literally the epitome of Barbie Americana.
You should watch more of her videos, especiallyif u like fashion! All of them are so well thought out and organized.
For me her evolution in style both in music and clothes feel natural, it changed at a good pace.
Well reputation was a bit shocking and came out of nowhere but yeah apart from that I agree
@@cherryrosestar6050 i definitely don’t agree with this given the context of her life. After that situation with Kim and Kanye, everyone thought she would go full-blown Lohan or Miley Cyrus. Reputation was tame compared to a lot of peoples expectations
Honestly everyone calls it an I hate Kanye album because it’s literally called reputation, but it’s 100% an I love Joe album. There were only like three songs that directly mentioned Kanye and even those still had messages that involved and celebrated Joe. Definitely her first purely love album imo. 1989 by comparison was more about her reputation.
@@missg8861 reputation was tame because it was mostly love album! not really revenge album!
@@cherryrosestar6050 really? you found that shocking even after Bad Blood? (even Blank Space was slightly edging towards the Reputation era) and if we go way back, Speak Now had a ton of punkrock songs and including the "there's nothing I do better than revenge" lyric. Like LMAO reputation was definitely NOT out of nowhere
People love to call Taylor manipulative, and ruthless when it comes to her career, but when you think about it, she's been relevant for over 15 years, and there's no way she would have done that without being smart and careful with her public image. It just doesn't make sense to me because like...what would you rather have? If she had maintained the good girl persona, written a couple country albums that didn't quite reach mainstream popularity, and faded into obscurity by her midtwenties would that make people think she was a morally good person? If she made you believe she put no effort at all into her public image , is that what it takes for people to think she's not morally deficient? As Miss Swift herself once said, 'If a man does something, he's calculated. If a woman does something, she's manipulative.' Obviously a huge part of her fame is due to her talent, but I also respect her immensely for how clever she is with Easter eggs and eras and reinventing herself. (Obviously, she shouldn't have to reinvent herself to stay famous if men don't have to, but she's good at it anyway).
I swear to god this matter and the thing about dating is where you always see the double standard between male and women that are successful in the media. The words manipulative, ruthless, calculated are literally never a used with men, they are simply successful hard working and hustling, women must have a hidden agenda to make it far and wide.
i believe she actually said something like "if a man does something, he's strategic. if a woman does something she's calculated" being calculative and manipulative are both bad things

I realised I always subconsciously associated Taylor Swift with Barbie. And not doll Barbie but movie Barbie. The one with the background in a really humble (country aesthetic) place that blows up to live in the dreamhouse. And all the movies with the fairytale dresses, continuous modernisation of the characters style and the ever present love interest that looked different each and played a role but never overshadowed her. A wide range of careers and then the boyfriend now disappearing from her entire person. Then the perfect character now being villainised for her seeming “perfection” and only being seen for her beauty regardless of her talents. Not really much to do with the rest of the video but the beginning hit me like a truck. Incredible content as ever ModernGurlz!
Holy guac. Taylor srsly is the real life Barbie. From how the media villanised both of these icons, painting their kindness as fakeness. Omg. I totally agree with you.
Wow yep she's a real life Barbie
yesss you described it so perfectly. The media seem portray her as a girl who makes pop music about heartbreaks and love over and over again. Yet they can't appreciate how much effort, time, and hard work it took for her to be where she is today.

1. She already apologized to *Katy and Katy even starred in her music video for You Need To Calm Down.
2.I don't even know what Calvin did to Rita so I'm not getting into that.
3.No. Not everything has to be a rags to riches story. And don't use this excuse to discredit Taylor's hardwork and good attitude that has brought her to where she is today. Sure her being from a financially stable family would've helped but if you're going to depend on just that one excuse every banker's child is going to be a huge popsuperstar and they're not so...
What I'm getting from this is you just do not like Taylor Swift for no valid reason and are still stuck in a time where people hate her for no reason. Grow up. Goodbye.
Just got finished with the All Too Well short film. Perfect timing haha
We need something to stop the crying
Sadie Sink is a beautiful actress and her acting was amazing!
EXACTLY same 😭😭😭
Ive rewatched it even
so we’re all here huh 😭
I've always though Taylor's clothing style was very pretty and wondering no one talks about it.
She was one of celebrity style inspirations when I was younger. Very flattering, girly yet with a slight edge.
Same. She’s like our generation’s Audrey Hepburn. Every look she does is very memorable and suits her.
Yep like I’m sorry but her Politician’s wife phase in the 1989 era (around 2013-2016) was such a boss moment, she was minimal yet always stylish and put together.
@@mariakiwi1428 Early 10’s hipster lite Taylor was some of my favorite fashion looks from her.
@@purplealchemistofficial Money
the fact that you predicted her pulling from the 70s in midnights promotional material a _year_ before it was released just goes to show your incredible intuition when it comes to fashion!
Was literally going to say the same thing! Girl is pulling from all the decades.
To this day, the "girl squad" criticism remains one of the dumbest things she's ever been criticised about. She worked with VSFS models for two years in a row and a lot of them also lived in NYC, and people got mad that the friends she featured on camera were the ones who actually liked being in front of it because they're actors and models? So weird.
These people are acting as though she's not allowed to have close friendships with other women in her industry? like bruh wtf do you expect, thats the industry she works, lives and breathes. Ofc thats where a lot of her friends are from lmao
It was very in your face.You wanna be friends with them fine but don't plaster it everywhere you go when you talk about relatability in regards to your music.
@@bellac6311 They never once pointed out how she stayed close to her high school best friend and would attend her non-celebrity friends' birthdays and such. She brought out the Bad Blood cast to the red carpet to promote the song and that was enough for her to be labelled as someone who only wants to be friends with beautiful celebrities.
So true.
You decided to speak and you only said the truth
I never understood the criticism about her dating life! She reminds me of girls that I met in highschool: pretty, romantic, and eager to fall in love, although it often ended badly. These girls were great friends, loyal and kind. Because dating a lot doesn't mean you are a bad person. Go figure.
I think it was because she wanted to portray this "good girl" persona and that didn't align with her dating life. Of course, as you said, that's a normal thing for a lot of girls who are in love with the idea of love. Nothing bad in it. But people were obsessed with the idea of "inocence" and having a "role model" for her children. It was also because people dislike girly girls' behavior, such as falling in love easily. They probably found that irritating. Most people date like that, it's very common to fall in love and then end relationships quickly...
I think a part of it was the frequent exes. After about 5 ish exes, people generally start wondering if you're really in it for true love or are you searching for something else? Or is something about you turning others off?
Esp. when you are as pretty as she is. Men flock to her bec. they desire her and not necessarily bec. they also like and respect her as a person and an artist.
She has a big heart!

@@meleqento9565 You know, you look very insecure here. Why is it so important to you to distance yourself from one of the most successful artists of this generation? It's weird, buddy, especially on a video celebrating said artist. Does it make you feel good to look down at things other people like? It's pretty sad and makes you look like you have a superiority complex
I feel like Taylor Swift has always been the bigger person. Like her capacity to forgive is pretty astounding. Even when Kim and Kanye were yet again trying to cancel her last year, even though she really had told the truth the whole time about their phone call, she encouraged people to stop worrying about this issue and to go donate. She has always been so strong and above drama. I will never *NOT* respect Taylor.
Wait how did kim and Kanye try to cancel her last year ?
She did not apologize to Kate. As a spoiled child she is. Kate only apologized even though she was not wrong because she has a good heart. What Taylor doesn't deserve.

@@rosanaconta3416 ? Kate who?
I think in her Miss Americana documentary she mentioned how female artists have to reinvent themselves time and time again to stay relevant, and that's definitely super true for her. I only ever noticed the shift in wardrobe during her Reputation era (and then, of course, Lover), but it's crazy how women in entertainment have to constantly be changing for the public to know that they, like everyone, are capable of growth and change.
Hi rebecca, there was a video too from aintnootherfan where he talks about how women vocalists work harder than their male peers. It reminded me of what Taylor said in Miss Americana too, reinventing and working 5x more to sound good, stay relevant.
Honestly though, the amount of criticism that Taylor faced was… just bizarre!
People were jealous of her success. Its really sad.
It was always rooted internalized misogyny. Taylor has always been unapologetically girly which I think a lot of girls hated. She has also always been honest about her feelings which a lot of ppl find scary especially men lol
@@rubyi2677 OMG YESS 👏💅

I personally to this day still love the Reputation era. It’s my favorite because Her music, style, visuals, were just unabashedly sexy, raw and dark. A perfect era roll out. You can tell everything was intentional and planned but it didn’t feel forced.
Mine too, I enjoyed so much that I feel like it last too short, unfortunately she never came to my country with the tour.
Oh yeah, like, i, certain the rep taylor's outfits played a part in my gay awakening lmao. It was as you said: sexy, raw and dark. She was stunning in that era (all eras, but this one especially)
so true, iconic era
agreed. Lover, on the other hand, was too planned and overthought for me with absolutely every detail on theme and refferences inside refferences inside easter eggs. it felt like a grand maketing campaign rather than music
It’s incredible what she was able to do considering the year she had outside of the public eye. She came back and proved she is THAT pop star. Except now she didn’t have to care about what people thought. Even though the scandal was rough on her, it gave her the ability to shed the good girl persona because it was already destroyed. Such a natural evolution and so iconic that people still call a big transformation a reputation era😂
When talking about the last round of Kanye drama I’m kinda surprised you didn’t bring up that fact that the phone call Kim released was edited and that people ended up siding with her
Yeah, I was waiting for her to mention that. Kinda disappointing.
Same! I saw another recent video that recapped her career and it didn't mention this either. Taylor wasn't lying about the phone call.
yeah, it didn't have much to do with her style/fashion and in general wasn't even big news, but I wish it was briefly brought up anyway
15:06 "No one questioned why men in their 30's were dating a 19 year old girl..."
THIS!!!!!!!!
YEEES!!!!! like why nobody was asking the 30 year old what was he doing with the 19 year old.???????
I thought the same thing when this happened...
I love Taylor Swift and I feel almost like even though she's popular, she's a little underrated because a lot of people like to hate on her and call her fans "bland", "basic", and "tasteless".
Exactly! Which is so unfair because she's suuuuch a good songwriter but most people don't seem to bother to closely listen to songs like All Too Well or all the lyrics from folklore and evermore

She's in my opinion one of the best song writers or THE best song writer of our generation.
It's because she's white. People avoid mentioning this, they always say it's misogyny, but it's because she's white. White people just aren't cool celebrities to follow.
Right? It's like anything that's remotely "vanilla" is considered unworthy.
taylor's evermore/folklore era is literally so iconic?? her fits are always so coordinated and i feel like they represent her personal aesthetic and distance her from her previous self
I just add you on
i’m in my folklore era rn what about y’all
katy perry was actually in the "you need to calm down" music video, not the "me!" music video
my personal favorite era is folklore/evermore because she just looks so beautiful. she always does but idk, its her hair i think, she looks like an angel. also its closest to my own style lol
Taylor went through all that? damn. I was here blasting her music without knowing 80% of the entertainment circle troubles she went through.
Not you predicting Midnight’s 70’s aesthetic
I went from being a fan of Taylor (Fearless), to somewhat neutral (1989), then slightly annoyed (Reputation), and finally regaining the respect for her talents (Folklore). The media really did shaped our perceptions towards celebrities that unknowingly we kinda forget that they're just humans. Now I just choose to enjoy her work rather than catch up with her personal life.
Ik I do not give a f*** who she's dating.I just like her music.
It’s honestly so sad how people hate on her because of the obscured image the media portrayed of her with those crazy headlines
I kind of agree but instead of like annoyed I kind of felt disappointed that people hated her. Like I kind of grew up listening to her music and that break between 1989 and reputation I kind of forgot about her until just before lover was released
I think looking at style alone, it's very clear that above all Tylor is a very good business woman. Handling public image is so important and I think she has reacted well to each hit thrown at her. It's definitely skillful.
Ok. I'm convinced. And I'm sorry to Taylor for buying into the misogynist bull crap for years. She's got my support now. You go honey

I feel like Taylor's style evolution is part of the reason her albums all feel so distinct and contributed to her success, she's able to successfully portray each album through her style which creates these eras of her life that can be directly linked with each of her albums which allows fans to really connect to them.
The velvet suit she wore today was epic.
you predicting midnights cause its all the previews are showing that the theme is 70’s, what a genius
I know this is random but i wanna thank you for your channel, before finding out about it i didnt care about fashion, after i saw your channel i started embracing my femininity and learned its okay to love fashion.
Thank you 💕💕
Same.

Love her or hate her - she’s undoubtedly iconic.
You called Midnights 70s aesthetics!!!
Ahh, I'm so glad I always looked up to Taylor Swift. She's part of the reason why I'm such a romantic and now that I'm in my teens, I can relate to her earlier songs because I can finally connect to them. She's just so unproblematic and sweet and a pretty decent role model
Yess I can agree to that so much! I'm 15, turning 16 in a half year and now I relate to that early songs so much
She looked stunning with the bangs and straight hair of the late Red era. She kinda looked like the vocalist of a 70s rock band.
taylor swift has and will always be insanely good at seamlessly blending and reinventing herself into the way time is changing. “taylor swift IS the music industry”
i'm so glad taylor's fashion is being acknowledged! in my opinion, she is definitely a modern fashion icon. the way she is able to incorporate inspiration from previous decades _and_ modern day trends is amazing. i've also been loving her recent looks from red tv's era. her late-night talk show looks, her rock & roll hall of fame look, her atw short film premiere look. very excited to see her upcoming outfits
I appreciate how you noted that during her Speak Now era her public persona had "soured" because I keep hearing fan theories about Olivia Rodrigo getting a verse for when Speak Now (Taylor's Version) gets released. I don't know if this was intentional, but I still appreciated it.
it's hilarious that she was considered uncreative despite the fact that she literally wrote all of speak now by herself
Im obsessed... Her bringing up Alex Turner made me so happy. And I know you don't usually do fashion amylases on men, but his style is super interesting, because it changes every time they try a new style of music with every album. Just look at the difference in music and style from AM to Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino.
!!!
Haven't seen the video yet, but I just HAVE to say that: Taylor Swift has IMPECABLE street style. Also she is extremely clever with usage of fashion, AND she was personally responsible for teaching me the ideia of equilibrate personal style, fashion trends, situational image projection and cultural/identity statements, in a feel good yet socially effective lozenge. She is such a criminally underrated fashion icon, but because she chooses inteligente and elegance instead of the typical (for a pop star) "controversial" and "shock value", people tend to look over her in that matter. she's a force to be reckon in fashion. I'm so ready for this video.
I love the way Taylor reinvents herself in every era. I'm always so exited to see what is she going to do next.
My favorite style of hers was probably reputation and red. I love the edgy look of reputation. Red and 1989 had such a “Peter pan” 2010s tumblr aesthetic to it.
I think a lot of her style evolution is rooted in the treatment of women in the media. As Taylor said, “The female artists that I know of have reinvented themselves 20 times more than the male artists. They have to… Or else you’re out of a job. Constantly having to reinvent, constantly finding new facets of yourself that people find to be shiny.”
Wonderful job on this video :)
11:42 You could actually see how pissed Taylor Lautner was even on low quality footage. He's such a nice man.
The black dress she wore for the golden globes will forever live in my mind rent free
And midnights actually brings her to the 70s! What a ride.
Man if I had ever become famous, I would have been viciously attacked for every life decision I made. She really has kept herself well adjusted and gracious. Love that about her.
I only really got into Taylor's music around the lover era (It was impossible to be unaware of her before, but around that time I also felt less pressure to avoid all things girly and poppy) and I just love that I really got to know her music in a time where she so obviously enjoyed it!
The one thing that sucks about being early is not having any comments to scroll through :(
I have no interest in Taylor Swift, or her music. However I give her full credit for her hard work and for working with the right stylists. She has always looked great, and even her earlier looks have aged extremely well.
I read that the bangs were Vogue’s idea for a photo shoot and she went for it. It’s crazy that she wouldn’t have her iconic bangs if it weren’t for the photo shoot. (Idk if I wrote that correctly this is my second language)
Yesss! That is amazing to think! That is her most iconic look of hers in my opinion!
You are right and wrote it perfectly!
32:30 I can’t believe she predicted Midnights with the 1970’s influence (my mouth dropped)😲
Watching this post Midnights, it’s incredible that you saw the 70’s aesthetic coming. Kudos for that!
Her Red era and 1989 era were the ones that I LOVE the most...She looked incredible
It’s fascinating to see her evolution through this lense, especially regarding how much of these changes were her own genuine choices and how many were marketing decisions above all else
i am not a loyal follower of taylor swift but i grew up listening to a lot of her music. i often respected her because she often thought things well and her eras were so good. even if she received hate, taylor often came back and be a better person.
I’m from Nashville and she has always been HUGE here, even before her VMA. Everybody wanted her curls! Her performance outfits for Fearless were iconic.
I really like Taylor both as an artist and as a person - her career longevity and loyal fanbase speak to her qualities in both aspects. From image point of view I like her retro style most and will always be curious what vision she'll embrace in the next musical eras. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it!
I feel like Tay has influenced my style alongside Joan Jett because I try to keep up a Grunge/Psychobilly look.
Taylor Swift is one of my fashion icons. I'm inspired by her style. I took up fashion design and merchandising in college. If I decide to be a designer she's one of my dream clients. I want to design a dress for her and invite her to sit front row in my fashion show
It’s the way Midnights is all late 70s/early 80s inspired… you really called it
And she accurately predicts Taylor's return to the 70s aesthetic!
ModernGurlz, you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly.
Can you do more videos like this? Style evolutions of different celebrities?
My favourite style from Taylor was during the 1989 era. So happy this channel uploaded this week. Quality content as always. Requesting an outfit analysis of The Chanels from the show Scream Queens. Keep doing what you guys do. Tysm.
Honestly, when people criticize female celebrities for dating too much, calculative/manipulative, petty, or fame hungry without any concrete proof or taking things out of context, you just know there's nothing legitimate to criticize her. I laughed at the people who criticized her for being petty for suing someone to only win and get one dollar or dating too much. When I heard about those scandals, I just knew there wasn't anything truly immoral about Taylor. I am not exactly an avid Taylor fan but I do love her style and many of her songs: I adore her fairytale-esque and lyrical trait of her songs and music video, sweet voice, and class.
This was beautifully done, somehow I was one of those people who was aware of Taylor Swift and could sing maybe three or four songs if I was lucky but never ended up loving or hating her, I just ad this vague idea of what she was doing it was popular in the moment and didn't really care otherwise. This video made me reevaluate my relationship to celebrities back when I was in middle school (around 2014 when some of this big stuff happened) and how just hating a celebrity was considered cool and normal (taylor swift, Kristin Stewart and I am sure many others) and how completely abserd that is. I am 22 now and hearing how a lot of this happened to her when she was 19 made my stomach drop, I barely consider myself an adult now, I cant believe she had to go stuff like that and more that I am sure we don't even know about. Thank you for those I definitely respect her much more as an artist and a person after watching this and understanding of what happened to her through all of this insanity.
Her early albums were so important to me as a young teen. I was honestly sad when she "killed" the older version of herself in Reputation.
absolutely love this video its so amazing how much she has changed, i remember going to a red concert in 2012 and thinking it was the most amazing thing in the world, i was only 9 then and somehow even though shes 13 years older than me her albums manage to incapsulate my life every single time
the fact that she INDEED went to the 70s after folklore/evermore with Mkdnights... wow
You predicted the 70's look in Midnights!! 🙌
Somehow, Taylor's style in Red really inspired me to wear full bangs ten years ago-but Folklore and Evermore were the ones that made me incorporate the sad fairy elements into my everyday outfits for the last two years. I discovered that people call this aesthetic 'cottagecore'.
We need a lady gaga one then my life will be complete we also need a katy perry and nicki minaj one too
Old comment but I would love to see an Avril Lavigne , Lana Del Rey and Marina and the Diamonds one
Rihanna would be an interesting one too
I love her so much because she is constantly reinventing herself ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please analyze ‘Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion’. So many outfits!
Omfg i need this ASAP!
Her January 2020 shoot for British Vogue was absolutely gorgeous and one of my favorite looks of hers ever!
omg the way you said 'her next style could be 1970s' and one year later she releases midnights which has a very 1970s esc photoshoot and wardrobe as well as the 80s synth pop feel of antihero:0
Love the Red era. The outfits were just comfy, stylish and timeless.
Coming back and watching this after midnights came out--at 32:24 you were spot on!! 70s were next; she's called the world and mood of the album a "sultry sleepless 70s fever dream" on social media.
Posting in Red Day ?? Moderngurlz understand the assignment
Watching this now knowing you were completely right because the Midnights era is fully 70s!! Well done!!
I’ve always loved her 1989 and reputation era. Her outfits/style were so on point and eye catching
I love all of her Eras and styles!
🦋💛💜🧣🩵🐍💘🌻🌿🌌
I'm happy to see my interests overlapping! I'm not a hardcore swiftie, but I love her music, and yeah, this makes me happy
I hope you decide to do a video to add her Midnights era! Considering it was that 70’s style you were hoping for 😂 (and I agree. I love it)
She went from "your regular girl at the library" to "trendy middle school teacher" to "english literature teacher" to "modern princess diana" to Taylor today🤣
Taylor's Red and 1989 eras had such a hold on me as a young adult in college learning my own personal style (having blonde curls that I of course, chopped and paired with red lipstick) , that i still gravitate towards those sillhouettes now
I'll admit that I went through an NLOG phase, like a lot of other women. This caused me to judge Taylor often as someone who "just made music about her boyfriends and breakups" - something I regret now as a 22 yr old.
Something I will say is that I can't really relate to her personally, and that has blocked me from truly falling in love with her music. A huge part of her brand seems to be romantic relatability and I've never even had a boyfriend.
HOWEVER, I love the documented change in her outfits.
I've never had a bf either but her masterful story telling is very evocative and gets you invested imo, if you wanted to give her songs a chance :) plus sonically they are just beautiful
I really didn't like her early music and found her style awful. As she's grown up, gotten better style and a slightly better music she's grown on me a bit more. The whole bf criticism thing went over my head and I still don't care
I get that i also dont relate to the love music, have you tried listening to folklore and evermore? People say theres a love triangle but alot of the songs can be interpreted through other themes
I guess for my young self who for most of the time definitely does not have any bfs, xD I was such romanticist, especially with Taylor’s storytelling. Yeah I might not relate to it, but the feeling of the songs made it seem like I’m vicariously living through the characters in it.. idk if that makes sense hahaha
I mean, im gay so ive never had and never will have a boyfriend, but honestly the way she writes makes you feel as though you were in that relationship and he did break your heart, and its so incredibly how cathartic her songwriting is. Like, All Too Well (the song she wrote about her emotionalky manipulative, age gap relationship with Jake Gyllenhall (it now has a ten minute version)) is still probably the best piece of songwriting in the 21st century.
But if you cant relate to the relationship songs, try giving Folklore and Evermore a listen? Those songs are literally just narrative pieces, a lot of the times with her own fictional characters and stories and its so so beautiful. (if u want to listen to it, that is. Obv u can do what you want). Like i could talk about these songs all day lmao shes so talented
