i think taylor being in a super private relationship for six years has made some people forget she is a hopeless romantic. she is a lover girl. it’s literally in her dna. she wrote enchanted about someone she met ONCE and you all didn’t think she was gonna be dramatic abt this???
She was with a man who never wanted to be seen out in public with her. He was so ashamed of her public image that she made herself smaller and smaller, isolating away in Europe before The Eras Tour.
In this song, she asks “Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?” She’s minimizing her own dreams and wants for him, like loving in secret instead of out loud. I for one am happy to see a woman get out of a relationship where she constantly feels she has to shrink to be tolerated, and end up marrying someone who shouts his love from her from the very beginning. Not only for her own sake, but for the incredible example it’s also setting.
There do not need to be conditions for you to be loved. 🫶🏻
