It's such a hard age, but it makes sense that Taylor Swift entirely nailed it when she wrote Fifteen for her 2008 album Fearless. After all, she was just a few years past it, and - because everything is copy - had a true-life anecdote from her friend Abigail to narrate. Our Swiftorians dive into their own fifteen-year-old experiences (and mistakes) and get into what it means to grow into yourself after all that teenage drama.
