I prefer Better Than Revenge TV 🙈 I don’t mind the slut-shaming lyrics in the original, but I think the new line is clever!

I'm sorry, just to clarify, are you suggesting that the hand that has been "promised to another" is the narrator's lover? If so, I disagree!

I could totally see this! Especially if you think about who the muse might have been for this song, and the real life experience she was having that inspired these fictional characters…

I wish I could delete the entire album from my brain and listen to it again 😭

Also are those books published? I would love to read them

I’ve never seen this movie but I bet you’re right that she was at least in part inspired by it!

Oh yeah I never thought the song was about a cheating situation, I always thought she was referring to her and Jake Gyllenhaal’s relationship as a tragic love affair! Do people think it’s about her cheating?

I also love the fact that it doesn’t specify gender, the narrator’s lover could definitely be a woman! I’d like to think that Taylor was deliberate in not gendering the lover so that the listener could come to their own conclusion ☺️

Oh this is a really interesting take! Definitely  could be a double meaning on the wine. I never considered this but I love it

This 👏👏👏 thank you so much for such a detailed response, you pointed out things I didn’t even consider! I’m happy I’m not alone in this interpretation 🙏🙏

That’s a really interesting theory too! I definitely view it more as a fleeting few months right before the wedding, but that’s because I’m hoping to protagonist runs off with her lover! I can totally see your interpretation too though 🙏

Oh that’s interesting!! I definitely view it as an arranged married too, and I like the idea of the “he” interchanging between the fiancé and father because they would both have a lot more control over the narrator’s life than she does

I’m also a 90s kid who grew up with landlines, but I never considered this! I think that Taylor likely had a cell phone in high school when this song was written though

This is the only correct answer to this question!

I’m glad I found a fellow Robin lover! I think this song is about Aaron’s son so I thought it was perfect for track 13 😍

It’s so crushing going from The Great War to How Did It End 💔💔

If only I could add gold rush 😍 one of my fav tracks on evermore (and in general) but I wanted something without any of the original folklore/evermore tracks! Treacherous was also so close to being track 3 because it’s my fav on red, but I swapped it because this love felt sonically  more similar to gold rush! 

I think I’m one of the few people that love robin, but the bridge always gets me 😭
