Taylor Swift for India
In 2012, Love Story became a defining moment for many young Indian fans. The song’s tale of enduring love and fighting against all odds resonated with a generation of diehard romantics. For young Indian girls on the verge of adulthood, Fearless embodied sweet teenage fantasies in the face of disapproval. In 2017, Taylor Swift’s Reputation marked a significant shift that resonated deeply with young Indian women, inspiring them to embrace their femininity in all its complexity. Gradually, Taylor Swift became a part of India, one song at a time.
