On August 24, 2017, the public faced heartbreaking news through a released statement, “...the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now... Why?” Well I assume you all know the next line. We are gathered here today, on this sacred ground, to pay our final respects and bid a sad farewell to the Old Taylor Swift.

On the way to elementary school each morning, I would get heartbroken over a boyfriend that I didn’t even
