The Express | Not for tourists–really
Description: where food and music and Taylor Swift collide

It was the summer of 2009.

And I was falling in love – both with the person who would become my husband and Taylor Swift.
One day, a friend raised the topic of “Love Story” and firmly declared, “There’s no way she wrote this song by herself.” At the time, I considered it to be just one person’s weird and casually cruel comment. Little did I know, this was a widely held belief of many Americans and critics alike. Although Fearless earned Taylor her first Album of the Year award from the GRAMMYs, there was an inkling of doubt about her strength as a songwriter looming large in the collective unconscious.
