It's hard to believe that Taylor Swift has been through so much when you look at her now—she's a sensation, she's got a loving family and an entire squad who surely has her back, and she's found a great ~*boyfriend*~ after all the bad relationships she's been through which the media may or may have not blown out of proportion.

When it comes to real relationships, you not only have to deal with the good parts of your bae but also the bad parts, and learning to love both of those parts.
