** Music/TaylorSwift\\\'s \\\"Love Story\\\". Not only does she have lines like \\\"Romeo, stay away from Juliet\\\" (quite the opposite in the actual story), she actually goes the extra mile with research failure by saying \\\"You were Romeo, I was a [[TheScarletLetter Scarlet Letter]]\\\", which is, in fact, a [[MedalOfDishonor badge of shame]] given for adultery. A perfect storm of CriticalResearchFailure and MainstreamObscurity. It\\\'s entirely possible TaylorSwift is well aware of both \\\'\\\'TheScarletLetter\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'RomeoAndJuliet\\\'\\\', and that the whole thing falls squarely under PoesLaw.

\\\"Critical Research Failure\\\" means that Taylor Swift missed the point of Romeo and Juliet. Did she? Keep in mind that the song is not literally about Romeo and Juliet, it is (to quote the other wiki) \\\"about a love interest of Swift\\\'s who was not popular among Swift\\\'s family and friends. Because of the scenario, Swift related to the plot of [...] Romeo and Juliet\\\".

(1) The lyric is actually \\\' \\\'\\\'And my daddy said\\\'\\\' \\\"Stay away from Juliet\\\" \\\'. In the play Juliet\\\'s family hated Romeo (and all the Montegues) so that matches.

(2) The Scarlet Letter reference is a bit wobblier. The scarlet letter \\\'\\\'does\\\'\\\' indicate adultery, but its main effect was to mark Hester as an outcast, ostracised by the community. If Swift\\\'s family and friends disapproved of her being with a particular boy, she probably felt like this. A bit melodramatic? Yup. Critical Research Failure? Not even close.

As such, I\\\'m tempted to just remove this entire bit, unless anyone has any objections?

P.S. I am slightly irritated at this wiki for making me have to defend Taylor Swift. -_-
