Songs like I'm Only Me When I'm With You, The Best Day, Sad Beautiful Tragic (which I have a theory is about her parents divorcing), and Soon You'll Get Better are all track 12s on their respective albums, and they're all about people in her family.

My gf of 3 years and I recently broke up and the last song we danced to was champagne problems,,,,,,,pain

[@arjit.ab.bansal]

Willow: This one is a simple track about unexpectedly falling hard for someone. It's against all her plans and everything she thought was gonna happen but she's all for it. Champagne Problems: It's about two people who had very different plans for the same night. The guy pops the question to the girl and she breaks it off instead. There's no celebration despite everything the guy had planned and it's a moment of ultimate irony. It's hinted that the girl has some mental issues and the society scoffs at her, looking at her like a mad woman. Champagne Problems is an idiom used to talk about issues of the rich being nothing when compared to serious issues like poverty or death of someone and mental issues are offen passed off as such. Gold Rush: It's about dreaming about falling for and chasing this guy who everybody wants and loves as she founds herself drawn to him as well. It draws a parallel to Lover's "I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you". In the end she stops herself from getting lost in that dream because "she doesn't like a gold rush". Tis The Damn Season and Dorothea: Dorothea is about this country girl who leaves for LA to make a name for herself like a lot of small town girls do and it is sung from the perspective of her lover from her hometown. Taylor also mentioned that although Dorothea isn't related to the highschool love triangle but she went to the same highschool as Betty, James and Inez. Tis The Damn Season is a sequel to Dorothea. It talks about when Dorothea came back to her hometown for the holidays and met with that old flame of hers and realises what they has was beautiful. Tolerate it: This one to me sounds like a married girl who's a stay at home wife. She looks up to her husband and loves him with everything she has. She thinks he's older and more mature than her and that it seems like she's considers herself below him. She gives him everything but he just seems to be tolerating her and the marriage for the sake of it. She suspects that he doesn't really respect or love her. Near the end she says that she could leave him if she wanted to but then the song ends with the opening lyrics which makes me think that she ended staying with him and doing nothing about it in the end and her threats to leave him were empty after all. No body, no crime: This track paints a thrilling story or infidelity and murder. It tells the tale of Este, her husband, his mistress and the singer. Este suspects that her husband has been cheating on her but she has no way of proving it. She says she ain't letting untill the day she dies and ironically she does end up dying. Maybe she confronted her husband about the affair and he killed her. Nobody knows who killed her and so he gets away with it. The singer realises the fact that Este's husband has been acting suspicious and that he has killed her. Being Este's close friend, the singer seeks revenge. Having a boating license and being a maid helps her motive as she kills Este's husband and dumps him in the ocean. The mistress took out a big life insurance policy and was then conveniently framed. Everybody she thinks that she killed him but they can't prove it, meanwhile the mistress knows that the singer did it but she can't prove it either. Happiness: To me it was about looking back at a past relationship which you were bitter about with the maturity of hindsight. She has finally come to terms with all that went wrong between them and is ready to clean up all the bad blood between them and remember the relationship as a what it was- a bundle of memories which did make her happy at some point of time. Conney Island: I'm not sure about this one but it felt like a relationship which broke down because one of them became famous and were cast into the spotlight and they got a little lost in the light and forgot to look back at the one who was there for then all along. P.S- Notice in the bridge their are callbacks to Calvin, John, Harry and Jake. Ivy: This is about a girl who's in an unhappy marriage and finds herself drawn to another man. Despite having a husband, she pursues and affair with this guy who she just can't help but fall far. There's fear and thrill in this illicit affair and she wonders what would happen if her husband ever found out. Cowboy Like Me: This sounds like the tale of two con artists. Both Rob rich people of their money from one way or another. It is hinted that they capture the hearts of their victims and then end up robbing them. When the meet each other, they are drawn to each other and end up getting together. I'm not sure but the end to me seemed like the guy, just like it was in his nature, ended up robbing this girl as well while she had fallen for him for real this time. Long Story Short: Long story short, this is about Taylor getting over all her past turmoils like 2016 incident and all her bad relationships and finding love and happiness in Joe. Marjorie: This is a tribute to her grandmother who was an opera singer. Her vocals are audible in the outro. Closure: This song is at a direct contrast to happiness. It's about her refusing to give the greenlight of forgiveness to a past lover who write her a letter seeking for forgives and closure to ease his own conscience. Evermore: This, I think is about Joe too. It talks about how through all the darkness, maybe throughout her life or of the lockdown, she found solace in her beloved and with him there she feels hopeful and knows in her heart that all these dark clouds wouldn't stay forevermore.

[@alenanela1743]

This is really useful!

[@shalakaj523]

couple of thoughts: tolerate it- inspired from rebecca by daphne du maurier which taylor said made her realise that the husband just tolerated her. happiness- probably inspired from abigail and her now ex husband, in which they've spent very long together only for this to end. thenarrator also shows conflict about how to move on when you're used to a person's presence, the flash of envy at a new person dating their ex partner and finally letting them know that she forgives him and hopes for their happiness with or without each other in due time. long story short- hints at tom hiddlestone (no shade) as the wrong pair of lips only to find love with joe closure- the first 13 seconds are this chaotic machine break and that continues throughout the song as background, the song could be about big machine records/ scott/scooter sending her a letter, which is meant to be a form of closure and taylor doesnt need it after the damage is done, so she wants to be by herself and responds sassily. evermore- the dn of the song seems to be about joe becoming the warm place for her, but the initial part seems to be about her feuds with kim/ kanye/ media, feeling alienated and out in the cold.

[@camandrew206]

“Suddenly I don’t care”. Cowboy Like Me is great

[@swiftie_mixer2057]

Here's my interpretation of the songs so far: Willow - her having an "invisible string" moment where she explains how she was when she met Joe. The line "rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife" refer to how she was during her reputation era, where noe one could get through to her because Taylor Swift being Taylor Swift was too much to handle for people. But then Joe came along and cut through all the shallow fame and cancelling. And the line "wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark" refer to her and Joe secretly and privately dating, considering every high profile/not secretive relationship of hers have not gone well so I think she didn't want to risk a beautiful, real relationship to go down in flames with Joe as well, so they keep their buisniss between the two of them, and we get some lines, songs here and there about their relationship from reputation, lover, folklore and now evermore. Champagne problems - two meanings where one if the relatable heartbreaking reality of a long term relationship ending because one is not ready for marriage, but doesn't know why. The other meaning is "champagne problems" being a reference to "first world problems", tho it can hurt for the involved people and for them it's a huge deal, but compared to grand world problems like war, it's just a "champagne problem" and it could be worse. Gold rush - Taylor being in the mindset of "every relationship of mine has not worked out, and so no other will" but daydreaming about what her and Joe's relationship could be, almost in the same time as she was when she wrote songs like "dancing with our hands tied" or "cruel summer". And she uses her usual Joe-spesific reference of gold (and blue in other songs) to describe the fear of someone else catching Joe's eyes and flock to him like he is gold, hence the title being "gold rush", which she says in lover "I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you want you". Tis the damn season - running into an old flame when one is back for the holidays in one's home town. Tolerate it - the sad realization that even tho you paint someone as a hero, as supirior, with your best colours, you do everything to satisfy them because they are the greatest in your eyes, and in return all you get is being tolerated. Like "I know my love should be selebrated (like yours is by me) but all I get is "I tolerate your existence"". No body, no crime - Este, Taylor's friend tells her she suspects her husband for cheating and contemplating calling him out for it, next time Taylor passed by her house she notices his car has some new tires, after she couldn't find Este at her job or anywhere, and suspects him for murdering Este because his mistress moves in after Este went missing. Taylor gets Este's sister on board to cover up her story for the cops, they murder him and the mistress gets the blame since she had taken out a big life insurance policy before he died. Happiness - mature way of letting yourself get closure without seeking it from the other person. In realizing that her joy for being able to live out her dream through her career, she had happy moments, which was because Scott gave her the opportunity to sign with his new label, but she will also expirience happy moment without him and pass their fights, break ups etc. She's also taking acauntability for her wrong parts in their working relationship, as well in maturely calling out him for his bad parts. Dorothea - the male perspective to Tis the damn season, also I've read in other comment sections that it could be about Selena Gomez, which is Taylor's best friend. Coney Island - the miscommunications, misunderstandings and mistakes that broke apart a relationship. What I get out of the verse that says "were you waiting at our old spot by the gold clock did I leave you hanging every single day" are really just a fear of showing up, getting rejected stopped me from showing up for you, but maybe for all I know you were there waiting for me or not wanting to be rejected in case I didn't show up. Like we were not showing up for each other when we needed to, so we left each other hanging every day, and now our relationship is breaking down when really, we could have worked things out. Ivy - the taboo, but the relatable feeling that comes along with an affair for the people involved. And is just as valid to be explained as the typical couple breaks up to be with other people and the new feelings that gets evoked here. Cowboy like me - the fear of being hurt by failing relationships inables you from putting yourself out there for chances of getting to feel things. Long story short - another "invisible string" moment where she goes over how she felt during reputation era ad how that led her to Joe. Marjorie - tribute to her grandmother who was an opera singer, and her opera singing is put into the last part of the song. It's about remenising, regretting the conversations you didn't have when you had the chance, and how she feels her grandmother in her head, in her learned lessons and how she keeps her alive in her head. Closure - one of my faves btw. I love how the drums are chaotic because they represent the manipulative, fake "closure" wanting person to try and sneak back into your life when you don't want or need it, being the nice calming piano and the pety "I don't need your stupid attempts at getting into my life again, I'm fine being angry at you, leave me alone because I knew we're over we'll before I got your so called unnecessary "closure". Evermore - yet another "invisible string" moment where she talks about how she felt the reputation era was her darkest, hardest time, and how her holding onto Joe, got her through it. This song is also highly applicable to depression "I thought this pain would be for evermore" and how Joe was enough for her to keep fighting until she reached her feeling of "this pain wouldn't be for evermore".
