LOVE IN THE KEY OF RIVALRY | TAYLOR SWIFT X READER

You've spent your entire career trying not to be Taylor Swift. But the industry won't let you forget her.

Every interview, every review, every headline seems to frame you as her rival: "The next Taylor Swift," "a grittier Taylor Swift," "Taylor Swift with more bite." You hate it. You've worked for your own sound, your own words, your own place in the world. But instead of being seen for who you are, you're trapped in her shadow.

And then, fate pushes you and Taylor together.

You think you despise her, but you don't know the half of her-not the wit behind her carefully chosen words, not the vulnerability she keeps hidden, not the fire that burns beneath her sweetness.

What starts as rivalry turns into obsession. What begins with biting words becomes stolen glances. And somewhere along the way, the line between hate and longing blurs, leaving you asking one impossible
question:

What if the one person you swore you'd never be... is the only one you can't live without?
