@varietymagazine: #TaylorSwift says she wrote “Love Story” after her parents refused to let her date an older man when she was 17: "I was 17, sitting in my bedroom, mad at my parents because they wouldn’t let me go on a date with a guy who was too old so I shouldn’t have been on a date with him anyway... And this is why you need to discipline your kids because they might write songs that go No. 1.”
