Love Story

Indroduction/Background: This song, was written and sung by Taylor Swift "Love Story" from her own album Fearless. In the song Taylor Swift, trys to tell people and explain her story or verison on Romeo and Juliet; on how love isn't always easy to agree with others or otheres approving a relationship.

Synopsis/Summary: Literally this song is about a girl who experiences young love, but her family especially her father doesn't approve. [Romeo and Juliet's families are in a feud and their love is forbidden in the same way] She wants to get away with this young guy. She dramatizes the situation saying its a love story. Basically she's saying they can be more, they can have a story (a life) together and it can end happily. [not to mention their story matches up with Romeo and Juliet] All he has to do is agree. Then she says she sneaks out to see him. Obviously neither of their families are pleased about the attraction they have to each other, but no matter how difficult it is to love this guy, she wants to because her emotions are real. Then she doesn't see him for awhile. She meets him on the outskirts of town and tells him she still wants to be with him, but she can't handle the waiting. [If you remember in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is banished and Juliet can't stand not being able to see him] He surprises her by asking to marry her, saying he convinced her dad to agree. They can have their life together and finish their story, all she has to do is say yes to his marriage proposal.

However, Taylor Swift says in the song, "Romeo save me they're trying to tell me how to feel, this love is difficult but it's real, don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess, it's a love story baby just say yes". Basically the girl and the boy are in love but no one else approves of their relationship. But the girl doesn't really care because she loves him and wants to be with him. So she's basically telling him to ignore everyone else and to take a chance with her.
