White Horse

White Horse is the inverse of Love Story. There, a white horse arrives; here, it never comes — the fairy tale collapses, and you admit you were waiting for someone who won't show.

Its worth is its clear-eyed ache. Taylor doesn't force a happy ending; she lets the fantasy hit the ground: some myths break on contact with reality, and breaking is growing up.
