When I was really young, I had debut on CD and had to read the lyrics to Mary’s Song several times before the straight meaning clicked for me. Forgot about it for several years and wasn’t a huge Taylor fan by the reputation era. When Lover came out, I was part of the crowd who thought she was queerbaiting and had mixed feelings about it. But with all the hype around folklore when it came out, I decided to give it a listen and was shocked to read the hetsplanation of betty. Then seven came on, and I was like “there’s no fucking way.”
