Taylor Swift knows a thing or two about heartbreak, so when one of her fans was unceremoniously dumped by her boyfriend over text, Taylor reached out to her via cyberspace to offer heartfelt words of advice. The pop star gave a thoughtful, detailed reply to teenager Kasey Andrew, after spotting her message on Tumblr.
"Taylorswift I hope you see this but we've been together for 4 months, he just texted me and told me he was done with me," wrote Kasey. "Gave me no reason and kept trying to get me to do irrational things to get him back. Now he's calling me names and I just feel crumbled. I don't know what to do."
The young fan sent several posts including one that said, "I thought he was forever Taylor," before she managed to grab the singer's attention.

Taylor, whose chart-topping hits focus on heartbreak and past relationships, replied with: "He just ended it, just like that?" The 25-year-old, who regularly interacts with her "Swifties", then went on to console her fan.
"Oh my God, I know. It's so devastating to come to terms with speaking of someone in past tense when you used to see them as your present and your future," wrote Taylor. "But think about what he said. It will take a while for you to get those words out of your head.

"Heartbreak is awful enough. The fact that you have to endure this kind of emotional abuse is so wrong. I know it's hard but I think it's time to utilise the 'block' feature on your phone. This is just damaging. Do you have to see him around?"
She added: "There is nothing wrong with avoiding people who hurt you. You fell in love, no games. Now you're saying goodbye with no games. Protect yourself, please. I'm so sorry this happened."

Taylor – who penned I Knew You Were Trouble about her former flame Harry Styles, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together about her ex-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal – then listed six songs to help Kasey through her split.
Following the exchange, the teenager took to Tumblr to let her followers know how much of a help Taylor had been. "She talked to me like I was her best friend going through a heartbreak," wrote Kasey. "Never in my entire life would I think I could interact with Taylor on this level... If you ever had any doubts about how big Taylor's heart is I am sharing this with you so those doubts will be diminished. She spent one hour last night caring for me, and she didn't have to."
The Grammy winner has also been romantically linked to Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and John Mayer in the past.
