You Belong With Me is Dorthea [Part 2.5 braided songs]

 OK, don’t get confused but I’m going to throw a third song into this mix of related events. You Belong with Me from the Fearless album in 2008:

…'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do/

And she'll never know your story like I do/

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts/

She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers

…Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans/

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be/

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself/"Hey, isn't this easy?"/

And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town

…You say you're fine, I know you better than that

…She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers/

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find/

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time/

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you/

Been here all along, so why can't you see?/

You belong with me

…and you tell me 'bout your dreams/

Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me

…All this time how could you not know, baby?/

You belong with me, you belong with me/

You belong with me/

Have you ever thought, just maybe/

You belong with me?/

You belong with me

Real quick: What if every "me" is "Me! Out now." ???

The colorful, rainbow music video where Taylor says no to the proposal from a man and dances in lesbian flag colors.

Persona 1 belongs with Me! (persona 2, the out, queer one)

Is Taylor talking about the same person in Mine, Hey Dorthea, and You Belong with me? Mine takes place in Taylor’s small home town, and the other person in that song leaves for a bigger life/city/dreams, same as Dorthea did. Also, we have the park referenced in both Dorthea and YBWM. And in YBWM Taylor is NOT the cheerleader, but on the bleachers, and in Dorthea Taylor and this other person are under the bleachers. Same bleachers/high school/small town?

If not the exact same person, Taylor is talking about the same feeling: Transcending her small hometown/life and the heteronormative ideals there, and sharing love with this fellow alt-girl with the big dreams.
