The Fear

“I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror”

Community readers set the sun-and-mirror line beside Lily Allen's "The Fear", which sings "I look at The Sun and I look in The Mirror" - both songs leaning on the British tabloids The Sun and The Mirror to skewer a celebrity's warped relationship with how she is seen. Read this way, Taylor's line carries the same press-haunted charge: she will consume what the papers say about her sooner than face her own reflection.
