Story time? Story time đŸ€

The year was 2008.

Flat-ironed hair was in. Hollister + Ugg boots were the uniform.

At 14, I desperately wanted to fit in.

And I really wanted to impress this cute boy in my class.

“You Belong With Me” was my anthem. https://twitter.com/taylorswift13/status/1380375175661772800
Fast forward to the school dance.

With the strength of TSwift + too much eyeliner, I decided to ask that boy to be my date to the dance.

I did it the classy way: a folded up note dropped in his hoodie during English class.

He told me sorry, he just wanted to be friends 😭😭😭
Jump to high school.

He has a girlfriend. We are indeed, good friends. We’re both really into music + theater, + we plot our future in the programs.

I teach him TSwift songs. He teaches me obscure Billy Joel.

We belt “You Belong With Me” together. It is ironic.
Jump to junior year.

He + his girlfriend have broken up. We’re both on theater student leadership, so we’re spending a lot more time together.

One day in October, he comes to a party at my house + doesn’t leave. Everyone else is gone but him.

Fearless blasted in my head.
Later that night, he messages me ON FACEBOOK of all places to ask me to be his girlfriend.

Ah, 16 year old love.

That same month, Speak Now came out.

I burned him a copy + his family ended up playing it on many of their road trips.

We would all sing TSwift together.
We stayed together through college + the Red era.

Still to this day, “Treacherous” and “Holy Ground” bring me back to a late night Peter Pan bus ride from UMass Amherst to South Station in Boston.

1989 signified the end of our long-distance years + the start of living together.
There’s a lot more life + TSwift albums to account for after that, but in 2018 I married that cute boy from class.

Our first dance was to Enchanted.

TSwift references made it into speeches about us.

The first song of the night was Shake It Off.
So yeah, I guess you could say I’m a @taylorswift13 fan.

But to sound super 2008 dramatic, her music is so much more than that.

It’s our family now.

So, if you need me today, I’ll be crying over Fearless (Taylor’s Version) while my husband @almogtabak belts it with me 😘đŸ„Č
