in hindsight it's kinda funny that taylor used to worry that her songwriting was directly tied to her misery and pain. this girl was thirteen years old writing about everything under the sun whether she'd experienced it or not; she wrote about feelings she imagined, experiences she perceived in others, and stories she straight up fabricated. that well of inspiration is tied to your imagination, girl, not your sadness! and i think it's really beautiful that being with travis has been a factory reset of sorts where she's once again free to write about the full human experience without hinging that creative output on her status as a tortured artist, when that was never her ethos as a writer to begin with.
