OKAY GUYS I REALIZE I MIGHT BE INSANE AT THIS VERY POINT OF MY LIFE, BUT LOOK.
You all remember Taylor mentioning F. Scott Fitzgerald in her recent article for Elle UK.
The writing I love the most places you into that story, that room, that rain soaked kiss. You can smell the air, hear the sounds, and feel your heart race as the character’s does. It’s something F. Scott Fitzgerald did so well, to describe a scene so gorgeously interwoven with rich emotional revelations, that you yourself have escaped from your own life for a moment.
Do you also remember when back in 2013 Taylor posted pictures on her Instagram spotlighting quotes from Fitzgerald’s 'This Side of Paradise’ novel, one of them being written in chalk?
Slave to my imagination, my emotions, my likes, my hatred of boredom, to most of my desires. - I feel like this resonates with Taylor so much (IN A GOOD WAY!), and I am pretty sure F. Scott Fitzgerald has inspired Taylor’s songwriting so much! So Taylor’s love to F. Scott Fitzgerald is a long-term relationship, now we know!
Also, ‘Paradise’ um sorry? I’m not going to mention it here, but we all remember TS7 Paradise theory.
And now she names her new kitten after Benjamin Button, a fictional character from another short novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
What a curious case indeed ;)
'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ is a story of a man who ages backwards. So we basically explore the way that his IDENTITY changes with his age. We learn: How old we are has quite a bit to do with who we are. Our mind, our emotions, our personality overall.
So Benjamin Button is basically going from old to young. Isn’t it Taylor-Obsessed-With-Metaphors-Swift telling us she’s going back to her roots, remembering her Childhood, her Home?
THIS IS QUITE A STRETCH, BUT I LIKE THIS METAPHOR SO MUCH! WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Guys please forgive me if this was painful to read due to a lot of mistakes I’ve made here. English is a foreign language to me.
Also, I haven’t seen any theories about Benji like this one, but if you have - please update me.
