13!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously this is an exciting day.

There's only 13 days left until Speak Now.

And everyone knows 13 is Taylor's good luck charm.

So that's pretty darn exciting.

In other pretty darn exciting news, Back to December came out last night. 

It's absolutely beautiful.

And on top of that, it's incredibly personal, and shows a big change in Taylor in that she's apologizing in a song for the first time.

All of her breakup songs to date have been her blaming the other person, but not this time. 

This time she's laying all of it out there and apologizing for everything she did to this mysterious man.

Well actually, he's not so mysterious.

In case you haven't figured it out already, the subject of this wonderful song is none other than Jacob Black himself, Taylor Lautner. 

And I'm going to prove it.

(To avoid confusion, from now on Taylor Swift will be referred to as TS and Taylor Lautner as TL). 

1. The song is called Back to December, and generally says that TS wants to go "back to december" so she can change what happened. On TS's birthday, December 13th, TL flew to Nashville to celebrate with her. This scared TS (she has admitted commitment issues and problems with "running away from love" during her live webchat in mid-July) and she broke up with TL at or around her birthday party.

2. She refers to the subject's birthday passing and her not calling. TL's birthday is February 11th, just 2 months after hers, making it make sense both that the breakup would be too new for her to call, and it fits  in with the time scheme. 

3. "I think of that summer all the beautiful times"--"Valentine's Day", the movie they were both in, was filmed in the summer of 2009. This is where they met and was the start of their relationship. 

4. "I watched you laughin' from the passenger's side" (see photo above)

5. "Realized I loved you in the fall"--Their relationship lasted from near the end of the summer until December, so the fall would have been right in the middle of it. 

6. In an Us Weekly article (here: Us Weekly) they stated that TL felt he was putting more into the relationship than TS was and that "He liked her more than she liked him". This is echoed in the last few lines of the first verse: "'Cause the last time you saw me/Is still burned in the back of your mind/You gave me roses and I left them there to die". 

7. This may seem trivial, but TS states that she misses the subject's "tan skin". This may not seem important, but regard the photo lineup of TS's past and present boyfriends: 

(One of these things is not like the other...)

Sorry to end with the weird tan skin one, but those are my reasons that make me suspect that Mr. Lautner may be the subject of this song.
I love knowing this because it's like having an inside view on Taylor's life. There's something nice about reading a tabloid article and being able to absolutely know that what they're saying is not true.
The song is beautiful, honest, and wonderfully written as always. It's so brave of her to put all of this out there to the world knowing that some random girl like me can figure it out and suddenly have such a personal view on her life.
I can't wait to see if it makes a difference in TS's and TL's relationship.
I also can't wait to see it live. That will be amazing.

(Is it bad that I'm super proud of myself for this? Maybe a little)

That's all for today.

13 DAYS!
