• April 28th 2012 - Dianna’s circus themed party - Taylor dresses up as a tiger

  • Interesting to note that Dianna was born in the year of the tiger (see above) - so was this Taylor’s acknowledgement of that?

  

• Excerpt from Taylor’s diaries - August 14th 2013, when she was 23 years old:

  “But this mostly perfect life can feel a lot like being a tiger in a wildlife enclosure. It’s pretty in there, but you can’t get out.”
