Around the time Speak Now was released, people were gaining even more interest in Swift's relationships. She had recently dated a handful of attractive young stars (see: Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner) and had also feuded with a few notable celebrities (see: Kanye West). Instead of speaking on those matters publicly, though, Swift addressed them in her music. Even though her songs have always been about her personal experiences, they eventually took on a new form as fans scoured the lyrics for clues about which celebrity she was singing about. The guessing game may have been trivial at the time, but it was also super entertaining and piqued my interest in her hidden Easter eggs.
