Every once in a while I’ll see someone talk about Adam Young in relation to his cover of Enchanted and it always feels so mean spirited? They say he was cringey and gave her the ick for covering the song that was literally written about him and make comments like “THIS is who she wrote Enchanted for?” It always rubs me the wrong way.
It’s definitely a bit corny to respond that way and name drop her like that, but it’s not like she didn’t also name drop someone else in the same album that song is from, and she is someone who seems to enjoy corny romantic things. Adam is an average looking guy so it just seems like it’s something slightly embarrassing but overall harmless that people ridicule him for because he’s not classically attractive like some of her exes.
Like, if Harry Styles did a cover of Style and name dropped her, these same people would lose their minds. I don’t know. It just feels incredibly mean, especially when Taylor was the one who wrote the song as an open letter to him in the first place. Her not responding doesn’t mean she was disgusted by it.
*edit to change wording for clarity that they did not actually date that’s my bad
