About this song
Taylor was inspired to write the song while going through a difficult situation with a boy she liked but wasn't officially dating. She chose to portray the Romeo and Juliet story because she felt she could relate to it. The song peaked at #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs and at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 just weeks after its release.
What it's about
The song tells a star-crossed love story, with disapproval of the relationship and a wish to go somewhere far away and escape the people who look down on the couple.
