Taylor Swift Talks About Song Lyrics And “Falling In Love” In New Interview
"I can't control if there's going to be a fake weird headline about us in the news tomorrow."
Taylor Swift’s love life has always been a tabloid obsession, and is now a part of her life she chooses to keep very private.
Part of the fascination was due to the A-list men she dated in the past like Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Ryan Reynolds and Calvin Harris. Who can blame us for being curious?!
However, the conversation around her love life became quite toxic and in her latest relationship T-Swift has kept it on the down low.
Her current boyfriend, Joe Alwyn is a British actor and they are rumoured to have been together since 2016.

In a recent interview for Rolling Stone, where she spoke with Paul McCartney, she spoke a little about Joe, something she never usually does.
Specifically they spoke about the song ‘Peace’ which Paul said was his favourite from her most recent record ‘folklore’ – everyone’s soundtrack to the first lockdown this year. Taylor shared that the lyrics of this song are “more rooted” in her personal life.
Speaking with Paul, she said; “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.”

“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 can’t control if there’s going to be a fake weird headline about us in the news tomorrow,” she added.
78 year old Paul then asked her if her boyfriend understood and sympathised with the situation and Taylor shared that he “absolutely” does.

“But I think that in knowing him and being in the relationship I am in now, I have definitely made decisions that have made my life feel more like a real life and less like just a storyline to be commented on in tabloids.”
“Whether that’s deciding where to live, who to hang out with, when to not take a picture—the idea of privacy feels so strange to try to explain, but it’s really just trying to find bits of normalcy.”
It seems Tay Tay has finally found some normalcy at last.
