General Taylor Swift discussion. Welcome all Swifties!
Bring your clown hats, your wild theories, and your hype, this community is for you.
Some basic guidelines:
I wasn't attached to the lyrics one way or another, but the new lyrics feel really poetic to me. It's her acknowledging that he was going to leave regardless, and she just happened to be the person he left for. He was a moth, and she was the brightest light at the time he decided to leave.
this album is the one i know the least, as i've allowed. but i thought she had made a point of standing by lyrics that haven't aged perfectly. or was that us making the point, not her?
yeah I'm not sure, I think we talked about it previously. I'm in the boat of she should keep it with a disclaimer in the booklet or something, saying times have changed
It’s always bothered me that she blames what’s her name and not Joe Jonas. It seemed like he left, performs better dissing Taylor and talking about how his new girl is better and then Taylor yells at new girl.
But also this song slaps and is a bop.
I remember reading somewhere that Taylor said later she wrote this before she learned that people don't get stolen, they leave because they choose to. The original lyrics are definitely a snapshot of a 19-20 year old just figuring out how the world works.
Eh, idk. I kinda like the original. When i first heard that lyric my thought was "damn, that burn has to hurt"
I just listened to both and they are both good imo. Now im off to listen to my fav song from that album, "sparks fly".
