So High School 🥰😍🔥❤️ Ian and I may have met later in life, after we both had lived wholly different lives and had so much time without each other. And yet, since the moment we met he has made me feel young again, in the best way possible.
This song makes me think of our love story so much, and I can’t wait to finally marry my best friend next month! 😭
In honor of our next phase together, we got a special tattoo this weekend: three hearts the kids drew, perfectly capturing this moment in time as a family. (I have the necklace, made by @encirkledjewelry …but clearly a necklace just wasn’t enough 😂)

I know I wasn’t the only woman who waited with bated breath for The Tortured Poet’s Department to drop, thinking it was a Joe Alwyn breakup album. I anticipated a full run of songs detailing the complicated and sad demise of a long-term love. I knew what I expected, and I was ready. I thought there would be some songs that I could relate to as a divorced woman who put a lot into my marriage and was devastated when it didn’t last.
But, as I listened to the album for the first time, something felt off. This wasn’t a Joe breakup album at all. This was a furious recounting of a woman scorned. And who was she scorned by? A tortured Poet, an on-again off-again “Situationship”, a Twin Flame who burned her badly. THE Taylor Swift had been ghosted by somebody she gave a second chance to. I was shocked. We all were. The man she had written almost 32 songs about had seemed to the public like a brief fling she cast aside almost as soon as the affair began.
As I listened more to the album, I realized that this all sounded eerily familiar. I leaned in closer, with millions of other women, as we heard Taylor recount an experience far too many of us have had. Because, unfortunately, most of us have dated a Matty Healy. Not THE Matty Healy, of course, but that same cartoon character. The misunderstood artist, The viper with bedroom eyes, The best friend who needs you to fix him, the Broken Doll. Or, why don’t I speak for myself now: I DATED HIM. And I’ll tell you something I didn’t know until years later: the disappointment of him saved my life.…
