Guessing Game: Which Celebrities Are the Surprising Stars of Taylor Swift’s Songs?

Begin Again (Red, 2012)

Who was it about: Conor Kennedy

Lyrics: “And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid… I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny ’cause he never did.”

Story behind the lyrics: “Begin Again” is a gem from Taylor’s “Red” that had the rumor mills spinning! In the summer of 2012, Taylor’s life was a whirl of romance and headlines with none other than Conor Kennedy. Fans were on detective duty, linking every “Begin Again” lyric to this summer fling. Why, you ask? Well, it’s all about the timing—the song dropped just as Taylor was painting the town red with Conor. Ever the queen of cryptic clues, she never played the ‘confirm or deny’ game with this one. So, it’s a mix of fan theories trying to piece together the puzzle.
