Quotables: Taylor Swift Has Some Interesting Ideas About Love

“The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I’ll talk myself out of it.”

Taylor Swift makes complete sense while discussing the way she looks at love.

Except not.

I’ll admit that the “it has to be an us-against-the-world mentality” could be taken in a different way, but the way I read it, it sounds like Taylor’s saying that when you love someone, you’re automatically on the defense, which is weird. I probably thought that because of the preceding thought, “you have to forget what everyone else thinks.” Because girl, to a certain extent, that’s true, but if everyone in your life thinks you’re dating a douchebag, then you might want to consider the possibility that you’re dating a douchebag. Or, in Taylor’s case, if everyone thinks you’re creepy for dating a high school junior, then, you know, maybe you’re creepy. Just think on that.

But the part where she says “you have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard”? Oh, honey. That’s why she falls in love so much, isn’t it? Because she meets a guy and likes his sweater or whatever, and she decides “boom, in love now!” And that’s why she has so many songs about heartache. Because she’s mentally 12 years old.

It’s been fun dissecting her quote, hasn’t it? Should we do this more often? Should we all send Taylor Swift thoughtful emails about why she’s really a creepy creeper? Let’s think on that.

Oh, she also said that her house is “a whole Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland structure,” because “it’s what the inside of my brain looks like.” No, for real.

  • There are other news besides Taylor Swift right? Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is supposed to be a gossip blog/website, not Taylor Swift/Jessica Biel/Kristen Stewart analysis and dissertation paper (although that would be mildly amusing).

    Move on and post interesting material please on other celebrities in the news as of late, instead of this repetitive crap no one gives a shit about.

  • I give a shit about it. It’s entertaining and up until now Taylor has been a media darling and no one could write a sentence about her without obnoxiously gushing. It’s nice to see some balance. Carry on.

    I’m on record as saying Kat doesn’t speak for everyone.

  • ok this motherfucker is what? 18? regardless of her age, she sounds like a fucking immature idiot. she’s gearing up to be a micheal jackson-esque isolated peter pan humping superficially idealistic dope wanking twat.

  • You mean people out there leave Taylor and Connor alone stop making rumors and gossip I’m sure you have better things to do love you Taylor and Connor don’t listen to their gossip you two are good people
