What is the message of love story by taylor swift

The commercial featured a snippet of Swift's iconic song, "Love Story" from her second studio album Fearless , which was released by Big Machine Records in Fans immediately speculated it would be the first official release from Swift's re-recordings and they were right. The song's lyrics are a modern retelling of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers with references to Romeo and Juliet.

But does Swift's new version have another twist? Keep scrolling to find out. Staying true to her old recordings, Taylor Swift's version of "Love Story" does not have any changes in its lyrical content , but that doesn't mean that the lyrics aren't relevant 13 years later. As she told a fan in , "Love Story" was relatable because it was written about a guy she liked but never got to date because her family didn't like him.

While most Shakespearan works end up in tragedy, Swift flips the lyrics on her ending by having Juliet "pick out a white dress," to marry Romeo, which totally speaks to listeners who are romantics at heart. It's no wonder that listeners are just as — if not more — obsessed with "Love Story Taylor's Version " as they were when it was released over a decade ago.
