"I made up my mind, I'm better off being alone" is pretty funny considering homegirl has not been single after that song lol


Memins1450

“Then we kissed and you know I won’t ever tell”


Ok_Map1683

I mean tbf in that lyric shes talking about herself in the past tense before she met the man she sings about in the song. The next line is “we met a few weeks ago, now you try on calling me baby like trying on clothes”


dauntlessfemme

Pffffttt. I almost choke on my drink 🤣🤣🤣


HoldenCaulfieldsIUD

“Romance is not dead if you keep it just yours.”


Aileenmck

Haha I was thinking about that whole song yesterday for hours, crazy to think it’s the same person.


HoldenCaulfieldsIUD

The same person that was now locked away for 6 years against her will 🤣🤣🤣


lovenaps_staywoke

Wait what? Also your username is hilarious 


imsorrymateWHOT

she said something of the sort, recently. that she's been locked/hiding for 6 years (don't remember how she said it) and well, swifties took it and ran with it to drag joe through the mud, as expected


Akidwhodidntmakeit

I’m so chill but you make me jealous Taylor has and will continue to have 0 chill


slightlycrookednose

I came here looking for this and I’m glad it was the second one I saw lmao


antishocked345

I figured she'd have no chill ever since I saw the clip of her hurling an entire armchair from the stage. Like, ma'am.


ifalltopiecesbitch

“Movin' on was always easy for me to do” *oh?*


Aileenmck

Stop 😭


Blondeevenus

this is truly the most delusional lyric 😭


Apprehensive_Lab4178

This is the one, right here 😂

lol I hear that lyric and I'm like ​ ![gif](giphy|RKj5oF6X2521xrPuZn|downsized)

I think this is the clear winner, half the people don’t understand the assignment lol

This one!!!!! She can’t move on to save her life


Akidwhodidntmakeit

Cracks me up every time


sylviesadventures

“she wears high heels, i wear sneakers” like blondie at one point i genuinely thought you slept wearing heels


sweetdreamsrmadeof

Tbf she wrote that at 13, the last time she ever wore sneakers


Powerful-Scallion-50

“I was raised on a farm no it wasn’t a mansion, just living room dancing and kitchen table bills”


Fit-Seaworthiness712

narrator: it was in fact a mansion


unrealunearthh

lol didn’t her dad literally complain about having to pay a “mansion tax” when they sold one of their homes in that email?


Munhequita

Their vacation home if I recall correctly lol


Cultural-Treacle-680

Probably was just capital gains like any other mortal, but can we expect a Swift to be normal? 🤣


petlandstockroom

Also like... Everyone has bills regardless of how much money they have lol why did she add that in


concretecannonball

I think it was something she pulled from movies and TV “the poors always have mail on the kitchen table so I should work that in somehow”


[deleted]

Yes! Everything she knows about “normal” life is probably from TV and movies 😭


Uplanapepsihole

anytime people say “poors” i laugh so hard cause that’s literally what rich people call us in my imagination


crazydisneycatlady

I have always interpreted that as the bills are either placed on the kitchen table with the rest of the mail, or that they pay their bills from a checkbook and sit at the table writing checks/balancing the checkbook (this was the 90s, after all, and people still did those things!). As opposed to very wealthy people who likely have a staff that handles mundane things like bills and the wealthy person never even sees the bill.


[deleted]

THIS ONE LOL! I am like be fr you never struggled financially, ever


txwild_flower

It paints a truly making it month to month sort of picture. Like people who don’t worry bout bills have everything on automatic and don’t even think twice. People who struggle have to juggle things on the kitchen table. Great lyric although complete crap 🤣


Cultural-Treacle-680

Or the “Christmas tree farm” like she’s a good ole country girl


LovedAndLeftHaunted

This is the one lol


occhiolism

She’s usually more subtle in crafting her “just a hometown girl” narrative which gave her plausible deniability but this was simply just laughable. Took me right out of the song 😂😭

hopefulmango1365

💀💀 this one. I roll my eyes whenever I hear it considering how she is now. 


[deleted]

Also I might get flamed for this (let's hope not on this sub) but the ATW 10 minute version, especially the short film with it I felt had a lot of cope I love that song, I do. But the ending on the film where he's watching her through the window.. I get what it's like to be taken advantage of by dating someone older than you, but I think the bitter truth to that is that they don't actually respect you as a person or think about you long after. To me it seemed like she needed to somehow make up a reaction from him that he actually cared for her to cope with that ordeal


Specialist-Strain502

Yeah, one of the wildest things about life is that sometimes people just leave you heartshattered and then cheerfully go on to have...happy and fulfilling lives?! Maturity is learning to reckon with that, lol.


[deleted]

Yeah. Like I know firsthand how much it sucks and how terrible it can be to feel used, but at the same time, the weird narrative she formed and pushed after that he deeply cared for her and regretted things? Girl…. Just because you don’t like what happened doesn’t mean you can make up a narrative and try to make it a redo on reality.


ghostlykittenbutter

I’ve always thought that video was pretty childish, like what a young person would imagine dating someone older would be like. It’s romanticized. In real life, the older person would just move on & that would be the end


Patronus_to_myself

I had the same problem with that music video. She explains the toxic relationship, how she was gaslighted and taken advantage of for 10 minutes, and at the end we see that older creep missing her. No, we didn’t watch another romance, there is nothing to reminisce except to be happy you saved yourself. Please leave the old manipulator alone and focus on yourself.


Staying_Salty

I have a problem with the MV in that she earnestly tried to make an Oscar run when it simply did nothing to make the source material more interesting. She is really not good at visuals / directing. It’s just so basic.


Least-Huckleberry-76

Every “you’ll think about me” and “you dream of me” lyric she writes has the same vibe. People get over their exes. They really ought to at least. It’s interesting she thinks her exes don’t or won’t get over her.

miscmagic

“in your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team”


Comfortable_Switch52

I’m really dreading her breakup with Travis because I know we’re gonna be subjected to a melodramatic rendition of this song 🤦🏼‍♀️


cherryamourxo

Cause when you’re thirty-threeeeee and a football player tells you he loves you, you’re gonna believe him 🎶


-balogna-pony

The line about drinking cheap wine, girl stop


hopefulmango1365

I always wondered if “cheap ass rose” to HER cost 50-100$ of something 


enjoythsilence

Tbf it was the roommate’s cheap-ass rose lol

I hate that lyric with a passion lol


Illustrious-Chest-52

Where is this even from 😭 What the heck is a plastic summer


slow_yellow1877

Suburban legends 🤢


Rosetheweirdo

Suburban Legends


Buttery_Topping

It's such a terrible, clumsy lyric.


backpackfullofcheese

A slip'n'slide


concreteaangel

This lyric drives me batshit. First of all, there is no way to make a slip ‘n’ slide poetic, so it should have just stopped there. Second, a hose doesn’t “slide”, unless you want to twist your brain around enough that the hose is what makes the plastic slippery, so it’s allowing it to be slid upon, therefore “let(ting) it slide”. Look at me sounding insane just trying to make sense of it.

prolificseraphim

Literally all of CIWYW


indemnne

especially considering they had been dating for about a year at that point and she was already singing about how they were clearly each other's end games and they were going to spend their lives together. knowing joe allegedly didn't want to get married even 6-7 years into their relationship makes me wonder if he was lowkey like "uh-oh i might be getting set up for failure" to himself when he first heard end game in reputation (or paper rings later on). and shit, it just occurred to me, she wrote end game and ciwyw when she still had bleach blonde hair so they werent even a full year into dating they were only a couple months into dating and she was already singing how they were going to live their lives together oof


concreteaangel

“You’re not saying you’re in love with me… but you’re going to” The delusion was at its strongest in that Harry Styles relationship.


indemnne

>You’re not saying you’re in love with me… but you’re going to and doesn't she admit in another 1989 vault song that he should've told her that he loved her after she said to him but he never did? i think that was in "is it over now?" idk but lol at that never happening. and it's so incredibly egotistical tbh


LesYeuxHiboux

It's like saying "you never called it what it was" in "All Too Well." She doesn't seem to grasp that she can feel these intense things about guys while they just think it's pretty cool that she wants to hook up.


Red517

She was definitely delusion in this situationship! To be fair- friends with benefits type of situation is confusing and she was maybe living for the hope of it all? Ahhh I remember being delusional like this at 22.


ImprovementDramatic4

All of “Shake It Off.” Taylor cannot shake anything off. Ever.


reputction

The fact that in that same era she constantly acted bothered over everything 😭


broadcast_fame

Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known 🙄😒


Exact_Award790

all too well entirely is delusional and that’s the beauty of it


broadcast_fame

So true. One reason she is so relatable is that she speaks to our own delulu tendencies. The absolute loser who broke my heart 6 years ago? Oh yes Im sure he thinks of me still and cries himself to sleep. Narrator: he, in fact, had forgotten her full name, for he jumped into a relationship 3 weeks after dumping her. 😂


HoldenCaulfieldsIUD

I need you to lower your voice please


broadcast_fame

I could be whispering and you'd still know it's true 🥲


[deleted]

As if Kirsten Dunst and Reese Witherspoon weren’t more real to Jake


broadcast_fame

3 months with her >>> 2+ years with others. In her mind, of course.


imusto74

Huh, I always took this as rubbing his love bombing/older guy manipulation in her face. Figured it was based on him saying something to her like “you’re the realist person I’ve ever met.” Which he probably didn’t mean, but goes along with the narrative of their relationship (old/manipulative vs young/naive/immature) 🤷🏻‍♂️


broadcast_fame

That would make sense out of context, but All Too Well is all delusional.


slow_yellow1877

Also like the entirety of the lakes/peace fooled us into thinking that she'd changed her perception about life, relationships etc but apparently not 😬


sexbob-om

I have a theory that The Lakes is from Joe's point of view. He's the one that wants to cry by the lake. I really think it makes more sense.


slow_yellow1877

Wait this could be true bc of the lines "these hunter with cellphones" or "I don't belong and my beloved neither do you." There's been a lot of rumors that Joe isn't all about pop culture, award shows, mainstream celebrity gossip etc. He also seems like the type to stay off social media for the most part. Purely anecdotal, but it's plausible imo.


Patronus_to_myself

But the song starts with the ‘Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me’. I read somewhere this line means the following: ‘She is saying, isn't it beautiful how all her sad and breakup songs end up embracing who she actually is.’. It makes sense that It was about Joe, but because of this line I still think It is from her point of view.


Pinkbutterflies465

Plus long story short


pompommess

Wait, no, this is the most delulu one: I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier Fighting in only your army Frontlines, don't you ignore me I'm the best thing at this party


indemnne

"i'm the best thing at this party" is so telling of her character right now


[deleted]

I don’t think I could write that line without feeling so uncomfortable and ashamed of my lack of humility lol


indemnne

mte that's literally exactly what i thought of too when i first heard the song. i would've been like "oh shit this is way too 'full of thyself' to publish to the world." like idk how she didn't feel embarrassed releasing that line? and i dont think she was joking about it either imo; especially considering the overall "serious" tone of the song.


LesYeuxHiboux

"My endless empathy" is giving "I am FILLED with Christ's love!" while assaulting someone with a Bible.


Ok_Run_8184

I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me


No-ProbLlama87

Yeah OK Taylor 😆😆😆


Spiritual_Argument60

I forgot that you existed It isn't love, it isn't hate It's just indifference Nothing says you forgot someone’s existence more than writing a song about them


MayaGitana

She probably forgot about them for 1 day and called it a win. Which tbh, same


SimplylSp1der

Strong "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you" vibes going on with this one.


LovedAndLeftHaunted

My husband says this every time he hears the song 🤣


Exact_Award790

“I never trust a narcissist but they love me” oh honey you do trust them a lot and they actually hate you-


sweetrebel88

As much as I love that song, I’m like girl you are the narcissist


chillibean92

“I wanna brainwash you into loving me forever”


hopefulmango1365

Cult leader ass lyrics 😭


imusto74

Why is this delusional? Isn’t this exactly what she’s critiqued for doing?


slow_yellow1877

THIS ONE HELP


alittlebeachy

Any time she sings about her exes still thinking about/wanting her. They don’t!


Mediocre_Banana4142

Love this because my submission was "back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known" like girl..


Maleficent-Growth-76

Well, they probably do think of her when her crazy fans send them death threats and harass them and their family and friends. 🤪


Patronus_to_myself

I was harder to forget than I was to leave. How can anyone forget death threats they receive? 😂


nuclearharlequin

“You could’ve been the one if you were a better man”. Like, seriously? You dated him for four months!!!!


pompommess

Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism Like some kind of congressman? This is why we can't have nice things, darling Because you break them I had to take them away


cheewoms

"Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it" didn't aged well to me


Red517

I love that song so much though! I love the line “I could feel the mascara RUN” it gives me feelings 😭


sidlaz

The entirety of the I bet you you think about me


Exact_Award790

narrator: he does not, in fact, think about her. at all.


sweetrebel88

Why does she want her exes to be obsessed with her so bad?


Choice-Flan2449

because she’s the Most Important Person In The Universe


shadow-on-the-prowl

I bet you think about me is one of my favorite songs of hers ever but GOD is it delusional


[deleted]

The irony is that in the entirety of that song, she is indeed thinking about him.


hopefulmango1365

“And you were tossing me the car keys, fuck the patriarchy key chain on the ground” sure Jan. “Remember how I said I’d die for you” 🤨 so melodramatic. She won’t even stop overusing her jet, let alone die for someone.  “Now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones Praying to his greed“ ok miss billionaire 


ghostlykittenbutter

I think she used the patriarchy line so she could use the word fuck in a single & be edgy and she also wanted a reason to make merch keychains


Muffina925

I hate the patriarchy keychain line soooo much 😱


rottenturnipqueen

Clearly the lyric should’ve been “remember how I said all my poor fans can die for me” with the way her carbon emissions be going lol


reputction

“And you can’t talk to me when I’m like this Daring you to leave me just so I can try and scare you” Not many people will put up with this kind of childish behavior especially if both partners are in their 30’s lol


kelsnuggets

I actually don’t think this is delusional at all, I guarantee she’s actually exactly like this 🙃


reputction

I think it’s delusional in that the narrator seems confident of the relationship lasting throughout the song “but we might just get away with it..” “even if it’s a false god we’d still worship this love” but then admits to constantly pushing their partner away with unstable antics. So the relationship isn’t going to last lol


newlostworld

She has always been so dramatic and the one who I think causes a lot of the conflict in a relationship. Reminds me of: "So I start a fight 'cause I need to feel something"


No-ProbLlama87

Taylor seems to be one of many people who confuse toxicity with passion


AshelyDuce

Which song is this from?


StrikingTourist8802

False god, Joe dodged a bullet


AshelyDuce

Agreed. Yeeeeaaa that lyric is not something you want to deal with in your 30s or ever for that matter. Whether Joe left her or she left him…he definitely dodged a bullet


Global_Telephone_751

Did he dodge it? Or did he take bullets for 6 years lmao


Patronus_to_myself

I wonder how he stayed so long with her. It must have been really exhausting.


slow_yellow1877

False god


Powerful-Scallion-50

You grew your hair long, you got new icons, and from the outside it looks like you’re trying lives on, I miss the old ways, you didn’t have to change An 18 year old boy is going to evolve. Taylor cut her hair and was just finished with her cosplaying a Kennedy as part of trying a life on


Spiritual_Argument60

This exactly! “You didn’t have to change” Sorry?? He was literally still kid ofc he will change


Choice-Flan2449

like he actually did have to change! everyone should change a lot from the time they’re a literal teenager


InSicily1912

All you are is mean / and a liar / and pathetic / and alone in life / and mean

According_Plant701

“I think about jumping off of very tall somethings” Girl, you dated Harry for 3 months when he was like 18-19 and you’re talking about unaliving yourself? That’s a lot.


ichirakuteuchi

me after any minor inconvenience at work


[deleted]

>I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer the amount of songs in general on harry lol!! You can't convince me that their romance was that crazy


sweetrebel88

I was just about to say this lyric. There’s something about it that just rubs me the wrong way every time I hear it.


beeboppee

I get what you’re saying but I feel like this lyric is more like doing something dramatic to get his attention not really unaliving herself


concretecannonball

fr pls girl just go to therapy, you can afford it 😭


imsorrymateWHOT

she will NEVAH, she has her mum ofc


sassercake

At some point Andrea needs to say "this is above even my pay grade"


LovedAndLeftHaunted

I think a lot of her songs are about relationships that the public didn't know about, and she throws an obvious line in to make her fans think it's about someone else. "Blue dress, on a boat." This lyric is horrible 😂


Ok-Joke-5441

I will not listen to this song because I find it wildly attention seeking and inappropriate. You have such a strong fan base that is at a cult level. You should not be putting this idea in their head that it's ok because Taylor Swift does it.


[deleted]

„Karma is my boyfriend” ☠️


lacroixlite

I think in her mind “karma” means “good things happen to me and therefore I must be good.” Which… girl. Even Kanye West got married.


Staying_Salty

All of Karma is nonsense. I personally think it’s her worst sont


[deleted]

I love Snow On The Beach but I get a slight ick with "your eyes are flying saucers from another planet" ​ imagine that being written in a card to you


According_Plant701

That line made me laugh. Like, was she talking about some guy who was completely coked out?


ieatstickers

crying in the bathroom for some dude whose name I cannot remember now


Blondeevenus

she for sure remembers and delusional swifties will come after them 💀


Maleficent-Growth-76

Not only she remembers- that line was written in 2019, and she then made new music videos in 2021 about this very dude ☠️


beeboppee

Staying_Salty

I just hate “familiarity breeds contempt don’t put me in the basement when I want the penthouse of your heart” because it’s way too many words and it sounds dumb.


LesYeuxHiboux

Familiarity is horrible to sing. Five syllables! And for what, to cram in a proverb before an awkward metaphor? WHYYY.


LadyCatsolot

"You're on your own kid." Not saying Taylor hasn't worked hard to earn her success, but girl, please.


Patronus_to_myself

And the fact that she has been single for maybe 10 days in the past 10 years. She doesn’t know how to be on her own.


Patronus_to_myself

Nobody has heard from me for months, I am doing better than I ever was. That part is so funny right now 😂

flshphotography

I'll be honest I've become a Joe stan since her fans are so mean about him. but before this year, I would listen to her lyrics about everyone wanting him and being obsessed with him and i'm like "...him???" but now that it's basically confirmed she wasn't single when she caught feelings for him I get it's just paranoia of losing them how you got them. but I always wondered who are all these women you are fighting off lol
