When was haunted by taylor swift written

This seems to point to Till, another video co-star, especially since Toby quite resembles Till. This was one of the trickiest songs for fans to decode, and the consensus still seems a bit dubious. Swift has hinted that this song, too, is hypothetical and not reflective a real romance.

In , back before she was huge, she opened for Owen in a bar. She first performed this song in , and the original lyrics mention meeting the target of the song in a bar. Owen as a target seems a bit strange, though, because the song discusses a deep, intellectual, emotional connection. The story, according to one source, is that Taylor had a high school boyfriend that she promised to eventually get back together with. A couple years later, she got news that he was engaged to someone reported to be a really horrible woman.

John Mayer had briefly dated Taylor before the two drifted apart. This is one of the only songs Taylor has publicly confirmed the identity of the target: her critics. In particular, it seems that this song is aimed at media who deride her natural singing ability and who criticize her for her tumultuous love life.

And you don't know what to do, but in that period of time, in that phase of love, where it's fading out, time moves so slowly. It is just spot on. General Comment This is a truly beautiul song. I think it's definitely about the shock and denial factor a lot of us go through right before a relationship ends and when it has ended.

It's about being able to tell that person is fading from you but you don't want to admit it to yourself.

I really adore the lines "He will try to take away my pain and he just may make me smile. But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead. This song really hits a nerve for me but I love it.

General Comment I am actually going through something like this right now. I've fallen deeply in love with someone only to find out it was all for nothing and she is just teasing me and wants the attention.
