America’s Love Unicorn Taylor Swift to Write Sad Songs About Parents’ Split
Anna Breslaw
Hot off the presses: Local Woman Unable to Save Own Parents' Marriage With Romantic Crossover Ballads That Have Brought Love Into the Lives of Millions.
It seems that Miss Taylor Swift, in addition to being a pop princess, a possible future Schwarzenegger and a proud wearer of Ladies of the Canyon steez all around Los Angeles, is the product of a broken home. Her parents Andrea and Scott Swift have been separated for at least two years, unbeknownst to the press until now, but have been holding off divorce proceedings in order to avoid hurting Tay-Tay vis-a-vis her career. Do they not know that hurting Tay-Tay always helps her career? Just ask John Mayer!
Sure enough, a source says:
[Taylor] has been going through a lot. The new album will showcase the pain of her parents' separation.
Also, when you think about it, her song "Mine" kind of foreshadowed this, not that I listen closely to her songs yes I do. [Radar Online]
