2016 was the best of times and the worst of times for Taylor Swift. Her reputation had never been worse, and intimate details of her private life and relationships were being splashed all over the headlines as if she were a plaything for reporters to grab at and tear apart. When it seemed as though she would never recover, Taylor felt a pull, through all the chaos, from an invisible string, and it took her into the arms of someone willing to shield her from the brutality of the public eye. It wasn't easy, and the road that got them there was messy, but true love was golden, and Taylor knew that now. --- This is Invisible String - a jaylor timeline. This should be a realistic and hopefully accurate sounding account of how *i believe* they ended up falling in love <3

i've been sitting here for like ten minutes trying to think of a good non-cheesy yet also alluring description and i've now given up so basically this story is about when taylor and joe meet and follows a ~relatively accurate-ish timeline - (but also side note some details may be off and stuff since we've learned new information about their timeline since writing this story so just ignore that and pretend it's completely accurate)
