Taylor Swift - White Horse
Taylor Swift - White Horse - https://shoxet.com/2tl1vA
The most popular female artist in the United States, Taylor Swift has certainly managed to capture both pop and country music fans attention with her strongly written songs (all of which were written or co-written by her) and friendly image. The 18 year old recently moved 600,000 copies of \"Fearless,\" her second album, while her single \"Love Story\" enjoyed a two week stay at the top of the charts. \"White Horse\" is Taylor's second single from the album and it should please people who thought \"Love Story\" wasn't even a country song. While the lyrics once find Taylor singing with a broken heart, the lyrics are basically the opposite of \"Love Story\" in that Taylor is singing about being spurned by an old boyfriend. Saying that it's \"too late for you and your white horse to catch me now,\" Swift may have a broken heart but she's happy to move on.
During a 2008 interview with CMT, Swift delves into more detail about her penchant for writing about fairytales. \"I am completely fascinated by the differences and comparisons between real life and fairy tales because we're raised as little girls to think that we're a princess and that Prince Charming is going to sweep us off our feet,\" she explained, adding that there's an ingrained fantasy that \"we're going to ride off into the sunset on a white horse.\"
In her song \"White Horse,\" Taylor Swift describes being disillusioned after a fairytale relationship isn't all that it seemed to be. In the chorus of the song (via Genius), she sings \"That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale / I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell.\" She continues by adding that \"this ain't Hollywood,\" but instead a \"small town,\" and she concludes the chorus by singing: \"Now it's too late for you and you white horse / To come around.\"
It's extraordinary that the song got written at all given the circumstances during which it was created on a chaotic afternoon in a Nashville studio where Swift was in doing a vocal fix on her first album. \"We were in the lounge part of the studio with merchandise people coming in and out so she could look at T-shirt designs,\" recalls the song's co-writer, Liz Rose. \"She told me she wanted to write this song about a white horse - I think some boy had upset her. It actually only took about an hour and a half but about every 15 minutes somebody would come in the room with some urgent business and interrupt us. It was fun though.
This is a big worldThat was a small townThere in my rearview mirror disappearing nowAnd it's too late for you and your white horseNow it's too late for you and your white horseTo catch me now
Lyrically, the sense of disillusionment is definitely present. \"White Horse\" might be from the early part of Swift's career, but her signature emotive songwriting is as present as ever. Perhaps one of the most poignant parts is when Swift admits, \"I was a dreamer before you went and let me down / Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around.\"
While a white horse has made a few appearances in Taylor Swift's career, there is no doubt that the choice of the solid-hoofed friend was a deliberate callback to \"the old Taylor Swift.\" In 2008, Taylor Swift released the song, \"White Horse,\" which besides the image in \"...Ready For It,\" you've got to assume that Swift is pointing towards her past and the literal upgrade she is currently working with since Fearless came out. (The new horse is a magical creature, trust me.)
Many Twitter users have theorized that the song's white horse is truly an image of Swift no longer waiting around for someone to come and sweep her off her feet, as the song suggests. As one Twitter user pointed out, \"She got sick of waiting for his white horse to come around, so she went and got her own.\" Say what you want about Taylor Swift's often criticized take on feminism, but that right there is a strong, power move.
Other Twitter fans were quick to note that while the song \"White Horse\" may seem like the obvious choice for callbacks, there were also two white horses in the \"Blank Space\" video attached to Swift's 1989 album. From the looks of things, however, it appears that Swift is currently working with the upgraded and shiny new model in \"...Ready For It,\" versus the 2014 one. (Plus, the visual of her bionic body suit certainly sells home the point that this is not the woman that was once standing on a horse's back while galavanting at a castle in Long Island.)
The white horse has always meant something to Taylor Swift fans, so it is pretty exciting for them to see callbacks to the star's earlier days, especially when the Reputation album sits firmly on the idea that the old Taylor is \"dead.\" The first single off the album, \"Look What You Made Me Do,\" was chalk-full of \"Old Taylor\" imagery, so it seems very possible that Swift's \"reputation\" is only just starting to make a reappearance.
Anyone looking for some more clarity about the meaning behind Swift's new video need only check out the director's retweet of this very cool theory: \"#ReadyForItMusicVideo What I took from it is that Taylor freed herself from how others view her life on display. @JosephKahn @taylorswift13.\" 59ce067264
