Taylor Swift wrote song about Lena Dunham's relationship

Songstress Taylor Swift has revealed that one of the songs on her latest album, '1989', was directly inspired by her close friend Lena Dunham's relationship with Bleachers musician Jack Antonoff. 

During a brand new interview with ELLE magazine, the superstar explained that the love Dunham has with Antonoff both inspires and gives her hope so she wrote the song 'You Are In Love' about it:

“I wrote that song about things that Lena has told me about her and Jack. That's just basically stuff she's told me. And I think that that kind of relationship - God, it sounds like it would just be so beautiful - would also be hard. It would also be mundane at times."

Back in October last year, Dunham shared a photograph of handwritten lyrics from the song and accompanied it with her own caption, which read: "@taylorswift13 my someday wedding song, as you know."

Swift also told ELLE that she no longer believes in the fairy tale kind of love you read about and has a much more realistic outlook now: "It’s magical if you ask anyone who has ever fallen in love — it’s the greatest. Now I have more of a grasp on the fact that when you’re in a state of infatuation and you think everything that person does is perfect, it then — if you’re lucky— morphs into a real relationship when you see that that person is not in fact perfect, but you still want to see them every day."
