Culture Shock

Taylor Swift's song "Love Story" is all about being in love and has direct references to the play "Romeo and Juliet" In the beginning of the song Taylor sings about how she is Juliet and the person she "in love" with is Romeo. She starts with "I'm standing there, On a balcony in summer air, See the lights, See the Party, the ball gowns," These lyrics are in direct reference to the play. In the play there is a party and Romeo goes beneath Juliet's window/balcony and they talk. References to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is used all over still; in many different ways, most of the time showing "love".
