she said in an interview herself she was inspired for this song by the fact that in every car-chase scenario (when a criminal is escaping the police), he/she seems to be escaping to Florida. So, Florida is the symbol of the place/thing (say drug) that people scape to

Friends smelling like weed or little babies is an age reference. At her age either her friends are still partying or settling down and having kids

I'm from Destin! Born there, and had both of my kids there. We're rated as having the most beautiful beaches in the contiguous US. I was so excited the first time I listened to this song, I've never heard an artist reference my hometown before. It being Taylor AND Florence just made it better. 😂🖤

@FreshOutTheSlammer_2 ай бұрын
Honestly? Yes. Lol. I don't recommend LIVING there, personally, but a timeshare to spend a weekend or even a couple of weeks there per year if you have the money? 100%. Crab Island alone makes it worth it, and the local seafood is incredible & what I miss the most about home. I guess growing up there spoiled me because I won't eat seafood in Texas. It's just..... nasty comparatively. 😅

I read somewhere that TS likes to watch Dateline, and on the show everyone that wants/ or has created a crime goes to Florida! As far as the weed and baby line goes I think it’s in reference to her age and her friends. They are all either having kids or still in that “party era” of their lives. I believe that with all the other songs on TTPD and the references to marriage and cradles. TS is ready to settle down. Now I’m no full on Swiftie I just recently fell down the rabbit hole but I’m sure if I’m wrong I am sure someone will correct me, 😂. Im okay with that. ❤ Johnny you were hilarious and right! I understood what you meant, I’m a Floridian too.
@TheCarolinaAsh5 ай бұрын
Yeah I read that as well. That she saw it as a place people went to disappear and reinvent themselves under a new name after a bad relationship/crime/scandal. I had never put together that about the weed and little babies line. But that makes sense now.

This one is so cinematic. I really love it. It reminds me of the stories of true crime she's focused on in No Body, No Crime and Mad Woman. Driving down the highway to this with the windows down is a VIBE!!!! Also, the word on the street is that Matty's code name was florida.

It's about Florida as an abstract concept, not the real Florida. We in the Midwest have all had times where it's 20° out and we're scraping ice off of our windshield thinking "I should just leave my life behind, hide from everyone I know and go sit on a Florida beach".
@walkiermaldonado91245 ай бұрын
In the part about weed or little babies, she means that of her friends, some have already settled down and others have not yet but that she is at a standstill, she wants to disappear, start over, escape either from her mistakes or a bad love and Taylor decided that Florida!!! It's the best place to do it because she loves crime stories, and when criminals have to disappear for some reason most of them have gone to Florida!!! Obviously it's storytelling, I love this song because I'm in a similar situation, not that of the criminal but the other one.

matty could also be florida. he used to be a drug addict (or still is, idk) and in fortnight, she mentioned taking the “miracle move-on-drug”but the effects were temporary. this line could be about her rebound with matty. also, she has a thing of calling someone as the place. for example, in false god (track 13 in Lover), she calls herself “i’m new york city” and she calls the guy “you’re the west village”. even in so long, london, its like she’s saying so long to joe bcs hes from london. just a theory though. its kind of interesting just to think about referring someone as the place/country :D taylor uses a lot of metaphors in her songs and thats one of the things i love most about her. shes so good at creating metaphors that are very relatable.

To be fair.. You're both kind of right. It is a getaway, but not in a great way. Lmao. However, I've now seen so many people using this song to show off their vacations in Florida. Also you guys are getting the next total solar eclipse to hit the US's contiguous states (thats the states that are connected.) I've been to Florida and I'm considering going for the eclipse... if I'm alive. Lol The hurricane thing did mildly bother me though. Because Hurricane Florence hit where I am really hard in the Carolinas, not Florida. I was literally stranded on an island bc of the flooding and for a week i couldnt get to work, we had 1 grocery store that was running out by the end of week, and maybe 2 questionable mom and pop diners. It was rough. But i suppose it wouldnt have hit right if she mentioned the Carolinas or picked a different hurricane that actually hit Florida. Either way, the season is here so ya'll be safe down there! (And dont send us your leftovers thanks. Lol)

She's referencing the escaping to Florida that we see from criminals often... that Florida is some kind of a host... a place for chaos and mayhem and bad things to be 'buried in the swamp' because it's wild (no one asks any questions here) and unruly and strange in that way.

Do not move to the panhandle of Florida. Panama City specifically, 45 minutes from Destin unless you want to be in miserable heat with very high humidity! In other states where it is hotter they have dry heat. It is completely different with humidity. I have two dehumidifiers in my apartment. I have not opened the windows in my apartment for years. It is way too hot. I don't know about Southern Florida. I don't think it is unbearable heat and humidity, still bad though. The Gulf side of the panhandle has the whites sand you will ever see. It is exactly like sugar. Growing up I assumed all beaches were like that. I moved to Connecticut, South Carolina and even Pensacola, Fl and the beaches aren't nearly the same. The heat and humidity is so miserable I keep telling my friends and family I am about to buy a thong 2 piece and wear that everywhere. 😂

Drugs are bad mmkayyy I died dead 🤣 Also, what ever happened between matty and Taylor that has her so shook happened after her Texas show and beofre her next show in Florida. There were two weeks in between the two shows. Many speculate that she “needed” to get on stage, needed the engagement of the crowed, so that she could get up as her life was crumbling into pieces, BECAUSE the crowd was shouting MORE, she had the energy to keep going, with a broken heart. Florida!!! and those shows are speculated to be what she clung to as the guiding light out of hell 🫶🏼 Fuck me ip Florida, and it’s one hell of a drug are metaphors for wanting rid of the feelings of love sick no matter the consequences of the remedy
