And so we\u2019ve never seen each other any differently. So when I listen to it, I\u2019m so impressed how it\u2019s eloquently put.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"20\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">She added, \u201cSo there\u2019s this [unreleased] song Taylor wrote about it, and it was called <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/Taylor-swift-family-lyrics\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/Taylor-swift-family-lyrics\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"\u2018Family\u2019\" data-node-id=\"20.1\" class=\"body-link css-1xnf0nh emevuu60\">\u2018Family\u2019<\/a> and it was over easily a decade ago, insinuating in the lyrics without quoting it, it is basically saying you have these amazing dreams, you want to be in movies, like in every crowd, I still see you. And then her part was you know, you still believe in my stupid dreams like playing stadiums and now when I listen to that song, both of those things\u2014it makes me want to cry\u2014have happened for us. And that\u2019s really sweet because back then she was just like, \u2018I just wrote this song about us.
