STORY a) "It's a song I wrote on my album that I wrote about moving here. I moved here very recently. I'm new to town, so I wrote it about that feeling that I got living here for the first time."
(Taylor moved to New York in 2014)

And that was something that, you know, so many of my friends, had to be kind of scrutinized for who they were in love with, you know, from the time they came out. And I just, you know, I didn't want to make a big deal of it. Because I don't think it should be a big deal who you love, you know?"
(In NY gay marriage became legal on June 24, 2011)
