A Love Story Theory: Chuck Wicks
DISCLAIMER: This post is only a theory, so please don't send hate to the people involved. I know that in 2022 speculating on who the songs are about is kinda looked down upon. If you don't agree with this aspect of the fandom, this might not be the post for you.
The Love Story guy has never been found but just a few months ago, someone said it was written about a country singer, Chuck Wicks, here.
Now the comment is deleted and I didn't screenshot it, but it basically said that it was a rumor in the Nashville country scene at the time, but it didn't last long between them, just a few weeks. Since it's all he said she said, I decided to dig deeper. I had no idea who Wicks was before that comment, but it made sense when I added this information to what we already knew:
In some of the performances of the song, Taylor has talked about writing the song as a response to her parents not approving of a guy, here and here at the Harvey Mudd - VH1 Storytellers.
In this book by Liv Spencer, it is mentioned that "Taylor told Time that this one’s about a guy she never really dated (she calls these boys “nominees”) because her friends and family didn’t approve. But no doubt her would-be Romeo approves of the happy ending Taylor made up for them."
She also said that the guy "Was a creep, looking back, but at the time I thought he was amazing" in 2011 in her interview with 60 minutes.
In March 2008, Taylor had an interview with Billboard (here) where she said she was about to go to the recording studio again. The interview was published on the 28th, but we sadly don't know when Taylor was interviewed.
Fast forward to Nathan Chapman who, in April 2009, revealed that Love Story was one of the songs recorded during the March session at the Blackbird studio in an interview released on a magazine about professional microphones (now closed) (here): "The vocal was a tracking vocal — that's the vocal she cut live with the band," Chapman reveals. "The band was just acoustic guitar, bass and drums; everything else was overdubbed.
In addiction to Chapman's description, we have the one by the Inner Circle: Love Story (4 min 8 sec / Studio) - Taylor went into the studio to record this demo shortly after writing it and you can hear Nathan (the producer) speaking during the recording. The song is so new to her that Taylor even briefly forgets the lyrics at one spot.
From the same book by Liv Spencer above, Taylor said: "Behind the Music: Taylor wrote this song lying on her bedroom floor in a mere 20 minutes and recorded a rough cut of the track in 15 minutes of studio time the next day. She said the song sprang from the line “This love is difficult / but it’s real,” and she noted on her MySpace, “When I wrote that line, I knew it would be my favorite line to sing every night. And it’s true, every time I sing that, I can’t help but smile.”
So what we learn from all these interviews, is that not only Love Story was recorded in the scheduled March session, but it was also written in March 2008 because the song is so new to her.
In January 2010, Taylor reveals in a Rolling Stone interview here that “Love Story wasn’t technically the last one, but it was very, very last minute.”, which aligns with her fighting with Big Machine for the song (source).
Coming back to Chuck Wicks, I found a picture of him with Taylor and Kellie Picker at the Country Radio Seminar taken - you guessed it - in March 2008:
Tumblr media
She also had an entry on MySpace about it: "This whole week was CRS week in Nashville. CRS stands for Country Radio Seminar. That’s when all the country radio programmers and DJ’s come to Nashville and get liners from artists (“Hi this is Taylor Swift and you’re listening to…”) and get to all mingle and see the people you haven’t seen in forever. There are a bunch of showcases and concerts for new artists just going out to radio, and all the labels have parties."
Chuck is 10 years older than Taylor, and if they were really seeing each other, I can see why her parents didn't really approve.
Now onto the things that don't match up: Taylor always says that she wrote this song at 17. While she's not exactly the most reliable person when it comes to dates (see her confusing The Outside with A Place In This World, or the city in which she wrote Better Man), I also can't see a person misremembering something so important (being underage or not), although it makes more sense if we see it through the fact that it was just a crush and nothing more. Apparently he was at her 18th birthday, so maybe that's why she got confused. She also met Chuck that October in Illinois and it seems fine (even though we don't know when she discovered that Love Story guy was a creep):
Tumblr media
That being said, her being 17 doesn't match up with ANYTHING she and her collaborators have said about the song. The Fearless sessions began a week after her 18th birthday, so if she really was 17, this means she fought with Big Machine for almost a year and I simply cannot see it. The US Copyright Service lists Love Story as being created in 2008, even though it has been wrong before. If the song was written in 2007, then Love Story guy might be also the Tell Me Why/Acting Like A Boy person.
Another guy often mentioned is Martin Johnson from Boys Like Girls, but I cannot see Taylor writing Love Story about him and then collaborating with him a year after (If This Was A Movie, March/April 2009), and in 2010 releasing Two Is Better Than One (date written unknown).
There's also speculation that the White Horse guy and Love Story guy are the same person but I don't think so. Based on White Horse she was in an on-and-off relationship with him but the Love Story guy was just a crush. Also, White Horse was written when she was 16 or had just turned 17 (December 2006, see Lover Journal). Pretty sure White Horse is a Sam song, but that's for another thread.
What do you think? It's just coincidences or there's a grain of truth in it? To me, all these references pointing to March 2008 are too on the nose to be just a coincidence but maybe that's just me because I'm obsessed with timelines. Dates can't lie. If all of this is true, I have to thank the person who linked the microphone article on Wikipedia: without them, we wouldn't be here today lol. Anyway, what Love Story achieved and what represented for Taylor, go beyond a random crush. Peace.

It’s been 3 years since this princess started the journey of reclaiming her life’s work with Love Story (Taylor's Version). 💛 Since then, 105 songs have joined her outside of the vault.
