This is how the old story about Taylor Swift goes: she dates so many men, who then inevitably become her exes, and then she brutalizes them in song form. John Mayer quakes in fear over her pen. Joe Jonas got hit with songs on both "Fearless" and "Speak Now" - and then again when the "Taylor's Version" albums came out a decade later. And if Travis Kelce isn't the love of her life (please imagine me rolling my eyes), people have already scripted lines about romance being a losing game for her.
But as we celebrate the release of "1989 (Taylor's Version)" - the rerecorded version of her original 2014 album - the album proves that Swift is not actually as brutal to her exes as the stories about her say. "1989" is full of songs about love that ended - but none are marked by the bitter and vindictive heartbreak that simple narratives associate Swift with.
