This song is aimed at the people who think they are owed every detail of her life.

[@kenadams6412]

This one is difinetely her story and cudos to her for how she decided to put this out to some of her less genuine fans.

[@sylsia1]

I do think its an updated love story take for an adult. Its also calling out the public and her fans for scrutiny of her dating life and dragging her or lifting her up based on who shes dating. when shes dating someone bad its "im having his baby, no im not but you should see your faces" ie in shock and displeased, when shes dating someone good its "im his lady and oh my god you should see your faces" ie happy for me

[@Augustine0899]

its about the criticism she got for dating matty healy. while she does admit it was a bad phase (in her album prologue), she is mad about how the public, esp her fans tried to crucify her for it, even going as far as writing open letters for her to break up with him. the im having his baby is to piss people off and bsically telling everyone to stfu. it is not definitely exactly her real story exactly, but thats the underlying theme. I like how youre able to contextualise her songwriting :) I kinda love this song esp the bridge lol

[@h3arty]

and remember guys, she writes many of these songs for the artistry and the fans. she describes herself as 'imaginative' and she's giving us stories that WE, the fans, can relate to. it's less about her and more about what she's giving to us. so don't worry about her, she's fine lol.

[@Suprachiasmatic]

100% her story. It’s about how closely people watch her and criticize everything she does in her personal life, and the pregnancy thing was her making sure they knew they were tho this song was about.

[@mallorymyers7525]

She was exactly right, too. Its fun watching ppl react to that line.

[@VioletEmerald]

But not 100% because it is an allegory.. the exact details are about church elders and the real story is about the fan base.

[@heather259]

NO, she's breaking the 4th wall and teasing her fans. I'm having his baby, No, I'm not but you should see your faces ..Fans freaked out, then laughed that they were so reactive

[@kathyditlevson5085]

Did you see the compilation video of her fans reacting to that line? 😂😂❤

[@Melissa-kt9oj]

She is absolutely calling out the swifties, who has decided that they alone, get to make her decisions, they tried to tell her who she can date, who she can stand next to, and she is calling you out, you alone will know if you were one of them. Man I think it's Daddy is a metaphor for Swifties, and if you love Taylor as a person, you were pay attention to the message she's sending you

[@cindyosborne8087]

I don't agree with that! But that's why she writes great music so we can all form our own opinion.

[@Melissa-kt9oj]

Okay, read the words, but it is okay if you don't agree

[@IUsedToBeAnAdventurerLikeYou]

I got so much crap from other Swifties for saying she was a grown ass woman who could date whoever she wanted regardless of their opinions.

[@Melissa-kt9oj]

And there are still those who will stay in denial who just cannot understand, or let themselves to believe, that she is a grown woman, she gives everything to them in her songs, but her life is hers

[@Janar2596]

You missed the line “fuck it, it’s over now”. Hilarious. Such good lines!

[@XxBloggs]

That line is bitter. She's saying fuck you for not supporting me with Matt Healy but I've broken up, are you satisfied?

[@samhugh4965]

I think she’s a brilliant businesswoman, and marketing is brilliant as well. I’ll keep listening and keep an open mind.

[@user-gp9es3rd3e]

She went "what if Love Story, but synths" and we thank her for it lol 🫡

[@Kaydence55]

I feel like it’s more like ours

[@regulusarcturusblack13]

🫡🫡

[@GrinningLikeaDelicateJamesDean]

This is definitely her most revealing album

[@h3arty]

"Precocious" describes a child who develops certain abilities or skills earlier than usual, often indicating advanced intellectual or developmental maturity beyond their age. It can refer to mental, physical, or emotional maturity that exceeds typical expectations for a person's age group. For example, a precocious child might demonstrate an exceptional aptitude for learning, exhibit advanced language skills, or display a high level of emotional understanding and maturity at a young age.😜

[@veronicabonilla7086]

This song is a message to fans that she will decide who she’s in a relationship. Last year a lot of fans did not like her relationship with Matty Healy and many posted videos or commented how they hated him for her and that she would lose people’s respect lose fans etc. Some even put together a petition and wrote her a letter wanting her to break up with him. The “I’m having his baby, no I’m not, but you should see your faces” is her trolling her fans and having a little fun with them (she’s been liking videos of peoples reaction to this line) It’s her way of saying pay attention to this one because it’s meant for you.

[@SwiftZilla]

This whole album is her story.

[@sarahsisk7298]

“But daddy I love him!” -Disneys Ariel 1989 “I’m having his baby” -Parenthood 1989 The lover drop was nice too. Basically the ‘mind ya business’ PSA from Taylor lol

[@labradude]

Taylor has no business to tell people to 'mind ya business' when she's dating and longing for and setting her sheets ablaze for a fucking racist lmfao.

[@h3arty]

08:30 omg I did NOT think of that at all!! totally a 2024 romeo and juliet.

[@ss5894]

This is one of my favorites from all 31 so far and I literally didnt even realize it was 5 minutes long...... its so good... wow

[@kaleyrose47]

Cannot wait to see all of the “Little Mermaid” edits to come out with “But Daddy I Love Him”! It’s so Ariel-coded! 🧜🏻‍♀️🦀🐠🐙🐚

[@tcfmarch17]

I love that you highlight what's happening with the background. Helps me to listen with intent. It's like listening to a symphony...I love it... BTW, I love your channel. Subscribed!

[@haineko1989]

A fellow singer-songwriter "OMG Who writes like this? I only learned what this word means six months ago " Random haters: "Taylor is so dumb, repetitive and talentless" Yeah, well, definitely "knowing your shit vs. knowing you're shit" :D PS. Haters gonna hate, taters gonna tate, and man, how I love having a singer who also is a woman who reads. I'm not a native English speaker and I know these words only because I love reading, and seeing so much literature woven into Tay's lyrics is awesome. But this lady also writes music, plays it, sings it, dances, directs, and is a businesswoman no one can f around with? Sorry, but that's just SO impressive.

[@rmsc9127]

I think it's because most of Taylor's radio hits are her glitter pen songs and they aren't her strongest lyrically. They are hugely popular with the masses though. Her deep cuts, sadly, probably won't make good singles. It's a double-edged sword for an artist. But it's worked for her mostly.

[@P4-Swift-Watch]

College courses study her successful career now, and someday her lyrics will be studied, similarly to how we study Shakespeare today. She's that good of a lyricist. She was described as a lyrical savant at 15 years old.

[@leannebahuaudbradley569]

This song is a metaphor for the public outcry when fans didn’t want her dating Matty Healy

[@_aly_cat]

yesss this is such a modern older darker version of love story 🙌

[@purpledragonfly313]

I feel like this was how she felt in the beginning with Matty Healy. How she was in this crazy love bubble and everybody was up in arms about it. It brought them closer in that phase and created this us against the world mentality. The frustration was huge. Listening to the rest of the album it came crashing down, but I love how her songs so perfectly brings us into this moment in time. Many of us have had relationships that was crazy from beginning to end, but in the beginning you can’t see it.

[@marycullars4621]

This song is about the fans and media. Always for or against her relationships. When I finally realized what it was about I was like “daaaammmnnn now I feel so small and so bad”. Like who are we to judge and hate on her personal life. Yes we love her and all but if she’s happy then that’s all that matters. Shes her own person. With a life. Just bc she’s famous doesn’t mean we control her life.

[@Grapefruit-Gal]

I admit that I’ve looked up words from her songs quite a few times now lol She’s so dang smart

[@Sassyglbeauty]

3:50 bless his heart. He isn’t on social media much is he? lol.

[@condoguy710]

This was a Taylor throwback song for sure

[@h3arty]

"Revelry" refers to lively and noisy festivities or celebrations characterized by a lot of drinking, dancing, singing, and general merrymaking. It often implies a boisterous and joyful atmosphere where people come together to enjoy themselves, let loose, and engage in socializing and entertainment. Revelry can take place at various events such as parties, festivals, or other gatherings where people gather to have a good time and indulge in pleasurable activities. LOL

[@AlainBM06]

This is my favorite song on the album!

[@snarkycharlies]

I think country radio is going to eat this one up.

[@SamandaOrtega]

It’s a beautiful song

[@azureshannon]

Like she started this song about one relationship and finished it about her relationship with Travis and I’m guessing daddy is actually her fans, media and everyone who feels like the have any control over her… “I’ll tell you something right now I’d rather burn my whole life down” 🔥🔥

[@h3arty]

07:19 see, I'd NEVER notice these things. but I love that I'm learning now. I love that I found you! woooo

[@thedivinefemme5285]

I love this one, too. And YES to the parallels to Love Story!

[@Crystal.xx.]

Oh it’s 100% her story. She was dating matty Healy and of a lot of entitled fans (aka Sarahs and Hannah’s) clutched their pearls and literally demanded she dump him because he was caught in some scandals & they thought he was no good for her (which to be fair- he wasn’t- but it’s none of our business who she dates- I mean we have no say in the matter) so that’s what this song is. Then everyone loved Travis kelce until he “pushed” his coach during the Super Bowl and over protective, crazy ass Taylor fans were saying he was dangerous and he’d beat her and crazy shit. Some people are INSANE. Anyway so the first half is about matty Healy & the second half is about Travis Kelce.

[@eperk]

Man I was waiting for you to catch the joke. I know the music will grab you, but listen again focusing on the words. Taylor’s hilarious.

[@macseth]

Great video, man!

[@h3arty]

05:49 ahahaha ;D she is VERY smart.

[@markkencullen]

I can't take this song seriously without thinking about Run Joey Run from Glee. 😭

[@TraceyM-mj5vg]

This is her story about some so called fans bashing her choices

[@jnyavaughan1555]

Who’s afraid of little old me next 😊

[@deb5123]

It’s supposedly about Matty Healy

[@angryangryalice]

I think there are a couple interpretations, but the one I think makes the most sense is the first verse is Joe, second is Matty, and third is Travis. The lyrics seem to match the three relationships (or at least the public's general perception of them). But more importantly, I think the bridge stands out as the best and most important message in the song, because it's directly responding to fans and commentators who feel ownership over her life.

[@Mom3js]

​@angryangryalice I agree. I think it goes through those three relationships.

[@SamandaOrtega]

It starts about Matt & ends as Travis Kelce

[@Sparksflymich]

I NEED A DICTIONARY LISTENING TO THIS SONG ITS the BEST FROM TTPD

[@savvymegs675]

I think I'd like this better as acoustic than synth

[@mallorymyers7525]

Its slightly fictionalized, particularly to call back to Love Story, but when she started dating Matty Healy some of her fans did this cringy #SpeakUpNow open letter to Taylor telling her not to date him.

[@kathyditlevson5085]

You're so funny about the words. There are videos of people trying to identify if certain lines are written by Shakespeare or TS. Yeah, she'll expand one's vocabulary.

[@SH-io5se]

its country!!

[@ltaylor2799]

this song is soooo funny 😂 she full on clowned her more obnoxious “fans” but i know they won’t listen and keep trying to tell her how to live her life, and it doesn’t feel long at all

[@walterhilliard6279]

Are the verses written at the same scale or timing of “boys of summer” or “the end of the innocence”? Sounds very Don Henley-ish or John Fogerty-ish and in no way should that be taken as anything else other than a cool comparison!

[@michellefioretti6554]

please listen to lmol- best song

[@davepastern]

this is probably the fan fave off the new album (athough I think Robin is a better song).

[@yamanigunawardena4609]

This song is supposedly about organized Christianity - how as long as you fall in line w/ their teaching all good but the moment you get out of their comfort zone, they think you need saved.

[@whiskeyrivers]

Its about Matty.

[@echan8006]

all too well 10 minutes

[@telmadossantosabilio6759]

Beginning Matty after Harry end the Travis Kelce happy.😊 people crucify ever boy friends .Easter eggs.

[@XxBloggs]

Awful production imho. It really needs real musicians and less JA fart sounds.
