I can't control if there's going to be a fake weird headline about us in the news tomorrow. "I, oftentimes, in my anxieties, can control how I am as a person and how normal I act and rationalize things, but I cannot control if there are 20 photographers outside in the bushes and what they do and if they follow our car and if they interrupt our lives. "I know you have done a really excellent job of this in your personal life: carving out a human life within a public life, and how scary that can be when you do fall in love and you meet someone, especially if you've met someone who has a very grounded, normal way of living," Swift told McCartney. When McCartney inquired about a line in "Peace," Swift noted that that song in particular was "actually more rooted in personal life" than other tracks. And I wrote songs imagining I was, like, a pioneer woman in a forbidden love affair," she said.

"When I was making Folklore, I went lyrically in a total direction of escapism and romanticism.

Stereotypical prom scene in a high school rom com. At first listen it just seemed like imagery of a pretty young girl at a school dance. In a recent interview with fellow songwriting legend Paul McCartney for Rolling Stone, the singer opened up about writing Folklore and the true meaning behind her song "Peace." This song didn’t grow on me so much as it ran me over like a truck lol I didn’t like it and suddenly I’m playing it on repeat. While some songs aren't exactly about Swift's personal life, others are deeply personal. The album, which released in July, features beautiful lyric after beautiful lyric.

Taylor Swift is a master at songwriting, but Folklore took things to a whole different level.
