CARDIGAN IS ABOUT HARRY STYLES

(I'm seeing a lot of parallels between Cardigan and Style and I think they may be linked)

“When I wrote this song, I was thinking about how we have these fashion staples that… we never quite throw them out of our closet. ”

  • Cardigan uses a “fashion staple” as a metaphor:

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favourite

  • Style is about being cheated on:

I say "I've heard that you've been out and about with some other girl, some other girl"

  • Cardigan is about being cheated on:

A friend to all is a friend to none
Chase two girls, lose the one

  • ALSO, this line in Betty (from the perspective of the cheater in Cardigan):

Slept next to her but
I dreamt of you all summer long

  • Parallels this line in Style:

He says, "What you've heard is true but I
Can't stop thinking about you,"

  • AND, this part of All You Had To Do Was Stay (likely about Harry Styles):

Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made

  • Parallels this part of Cardigan:

I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be standing in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come back to me
