The thing about "Love Story" is that Taylor does know what she's doing - I assume from the smarts and precision she generally exhibits that she does actually know how Romeo & Juliet ends - and this fact actually makes the song astonishingly arrogant (in a good way): she's saying, no, my worldview believes in happy endings, and I'm going to rewrite the plot of Romeo & Juliet to make that point.
