[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 401100, member: 73"] I think her fans like that. The forbidden feeling of wanting revenge for getting hurt by someone you cared for. Instead of taking the high road and pretend you're only sad. The feeling of angry (even juvenile) vengence isn't pretty at all, which is probably why most try to hide that that's exactly what they are feeling. So when Swift writes songs about getting dumped and feelings of anger and revenge, she taps into her fans similar feeling. It may be comforting to hear your idol having had the same feelings and "join her" in dreaming about retaliation. Even if they will never go there. But it sure is nice to fantasize about getting even and feel better yourself. Letting your inner monster out to feel more at peace and get over the heartache. I don't know all this. I have never spoken to Swift fans. I'm just speaking from my own experience of getting hurt by people who aren't nice. Not just romantic interests, but work-related issues as well. Sometimes, it helps getting over it by fantasizing about doing and saying things that you would never actually do. [/QUOTE]
