When Taylor Swift revealed the tracklist for her album The Life of a Showgirl, many fans were particularly intrigued by a song titled Ruin the Friendship.
Though most speculated that the song was about the singer’s rumored falling-out with Blake Lively, they were surprised to learn that it was about something entirely different: Taylor’s hidden love for a high school friend and her regrets about not pursuing that relationship.
Years before she became a global superstar, Taylor and Jeff Lang attended Hendersonville High School in Hendersonville, Tennessee. In November 2010, he tragically passed away at the age of 21.
