In her song "White Horse," Taylor Swift describes being disillusioned after a fairytale relationship isn't all that it seemed to be. In the chorus of the song (via Genius), she sings "That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale / I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell." She continues by adding that "this ain't Hollywood," but instead a "small town," and she concludes the chorus by singing: "Now it's too late for you and you white horse / To come around."
As it turns out, the song has a deep meaning for Swift. In a 2008 interview with Billboard, she described the song as being "about falling in love and the fairy tales that you are going to have with this person, and then there is that moment where you realize that it is not going to happen." She added, "That moment is the most earth-shattering moment."
In the interview, Swift also described being "really proud of" the song due to its "sparse" music accompaniment, which helps the lyrics really shine through. Because the song has such a deep meaning to Swift, there's no doubt that the re-recording of "White Horse" on Fearless (Taylor's Version) will be just as heartbreakingly dreamy as the original.
