THE PROPHECY

In “The Prophecy,” Taylor Swift captures a sense of yearning for a different destiny and the resilience to keep hoping for a better outcome.

After a failed relationship where she thought she would end up marrying him, she wonders if it’s her destiny to be alone

She references this same feeling in her diaries released in the “Lover” CD series: "I also feel like I’m the girl before “the one”. I’m not “the one”. I’m the girl you think is the one for you, and when it doesn’t work out with me, you meet the next girl, and realize she IS the one.”
