Taylor Swift News: Singer Comforts Broken-Hearted Fan, Gives Playlist to Help Ease Her Pain
Everyone knows Taylor Swift is very good in composing break-up anthems. Now it turns out the "Blank Space" singer is also a pro in comforting the broken-hearted.
It all started when Kasey Andrew, using account name nevergooutofstyle, posted on Tumblr that she felt like she had "crumbled" when her boyfriend broke up with her via text.
"taylorswift I hope you see this but we've been together for 4 months, he just texted me and told me he was done with me," Andrew wrote, according to Entertainment Tonight.
"Gave me no reason and kept trying to get me to do irrational things to get him back. Now he's calling me names and I just feel crumbled. I don't know what to do," she added.
In an interview with BuzzFeed, Andrew said her boyfriend had broken up with her over text after a year and a half of friendship and a five-month relationship.
Swift happened to read her post and immediately responded. Writing at length, Swift commiserated with her heartbroken fan, saying she knew how devastating it was to come to terms "with speaking of someone in the past tense when you used to see them as your present and your future."
"Heartbreak is enough. The fact that you have to endure this kind of emotional abuse is so wrong. I know it's hard but I think it's time to utilize the 'block' feature on your phone. This is just damaging," Swift told Andrew.
"So don't give him the chance to say more damaging things. There is nothing wrong with avoiding the people who hurt you. You fell in love, no games. Now you're saying goodbye, with no games. Protect yourself, please. I'm sorry this happened," she added.
As if her advice was not enough, the Grammy Award-winning artist also made a playlist for her fan to help her recover emotionally.
The playlist included these tunes: Stay Away (Charli XCX), Not Around (Montgomery), Wings (HAERTS), Coffins (MisterWives), Sleep (Azure Ray), and Begin Again (Measure).
"When I first saw she replied, I was honestly in shock. I had only posted a couple of things and I couldn't believe she saw my post about him breaking up with me. I couldn't believe somebody like Taylor Swift was taking the time to comfort me, to give me boy advice," Andrew said, according to BuzzFeed.
"I have been listening to it (Swift's playlist) on repeat all day. Anytime I start to feel alone or sad about the breakup, I have her advice saved in my phonebook and I look at it. And in my head, I know Taylor Swift cares about me, so I'm going to stay strong," she added.
