To say Summer 2016 was monumental for Taylor would be a massive understatement. She met the love of her life, feuded with pop culture's biggest power couple, ended two highly publicized romances, dismantled her "squad", and dealt with lots of family drama. It's no wonder so many songs in her discography touch upon these themes. This story focuses on Taylor and Joe's love story but has other plot points. I tried to make it as accurate as possible, referencing song lyrics, things Tay/Joe have said in interviews, and known Taylor sightings. Of course, as this is a fanfic, take everything with a grain of salt- I'm just a swiftie head cannoning lol. Most importantly though, happy reading!! Please feel free to give me feedback in the comments, I'd love to hear from you!! <3

One could probably say that Taylor Swift had a personal vendetta against Jordan Adkins. Or, as Taylor's darling publicist puts it "she is a 33-year-old having a one-sided beef with a 23-year-old". Taylor Swift is a global pop sensation with an almost 20 year career under her belt, Jordan Adkins is an American singer-songwriter that completely blew up two years ago, her first album making numbers no one in the music industry had seen for a debut. Jordan's songwriting skills were compared to the ones of Taylor herself, everyone labeling her as "the next Taylor Swift" and Taylor absolutely fucking hated it. The blonde woman was fully over it and even though she knew it wasn't the younger singer's fault, Taylor couldn't help but resent her for it. During Jordan's first year of fame, the young brunette singer would namedrop Taylor every chance she got, she was such a big Taylor fan and everyone knew it. Taylor even found it adorable, at first, but after the comparisons started and Jordan started pulling off the numbers she was making, Taylor didn't like it so much anymore. At one point, Taylor asked her publicist to reach out to Jordan's and ask her to stop naming her on interviews. Jordan hasn't uttered anything Taylor related ever since. That should have been enough to ease Taylor's feelings, right?... Right? This is all a work of fiction, I do not own anything about this except for the story and original character. This story is very loosely (kind of) based off Olivia Rodrigo's journey to fame but know that this is NOT meant to be her, so don't think this is some kind of weird Tay x Liv fic cause it's not. I usually don't post or share my writing so if it's not good then that's why. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Dear Rory, I'm sorry about what I said. I'm leaving for LA in two days. Can we talk before then, please? We can just drive around as usual. I don't know how to do this if you're upset with me. Call me please. I'm staying at my parents' house. Love, Taylor *** Aurora Taylor has been living her best life for the past ten years or so. She works for Odyssey, a travel magazine based in New York City, New York, where she gets to go on dozens of trips a year to the most beautiful corners on earth to write articles about her journey. When she's not travelling, she also dabbles in fiction writing, a little secret passion of hers only few people know about. When the pressure of her two jobs gets a little too hard to manage, she decided to take a week off in a beautiful town at the beach in Northern Italy. A week full of unadulterated fun and relaxation, with unlimited glasses of chilled Prosecco and gelato cones. Or, so she thought. Her plans are completely ruined when she runs into someone she never thought she would ever see again. Not in person at least. A ghost from her past. Taylor Swift. Thirteen years and the universe decides to throw them together in a random town in Italy. Taylor does not believe that it is a coincidence. Aurora is a little reluctant to believe it. But thirteen years is a hard number for Taylor to ignore and she is adamant on making things right with the writer who finds it hard to forgive and forget all that was said and done thirteen years ago. *** This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for real celebrities. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it!

ON A BREAK this story begins not long after midnights is released, and honestly i don't really know where the story is going yet, i'm just writing and we'll see what happens! everything is fictional, a few things will be based on real life (with what we know) but most things that happen in this story will be in there just to make it more interesting! one more thing, this is a trigger warning, there will be mentions of eating disorders, depression, anxiety, self harm and abuse/sexual abuse throughout the story. there won't necessarily be a trigger warning at the start of every chapter so here is a general one for the entire story. hope you guys enjoy! i'll try to update as often as possible <3
