Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking. And I'm dyin' to know: Is it killing you Like it's killing me? Yeah. I don't know wh… - Taylor Swift

And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

What does it mean to be the woman of this decade? Well, it means I've seen a lot. […] I saw that people love to explain away a woman's success in the music industry, and I saw something in me change due to this realization. This was the decade when I became a mirror for my detractors. Whatever they decided I couldn't do is exactly what I did. Whatever they criticized about me became material for musical satires or inspirational anthems. […] In 10 years I've seen forward steps in our industry, in our awareness, our inclusion, our ability to start calling out unfairness and misconduct. I've seen the advent of social media, the way it can boost the breakthrough of emerging artists and I've seen fans become more engaged and supportive than ever before. […] Thank you for a magnificent, happy-free, confused, sometimes lonely but mostly golden decade.

I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see.
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights,
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us.
They never believed we'd really fall in love.
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my...

We need love,
But all we want is danger.
We team up,
Then switch sides like a record changer.
The rumors are terrible and cruel,
But honey, most of them are true.
