imgonnagetyouback - The MUSE is wearing the lilac short skirt, not Taylor

** DISCLAIMER: this is MY interpretation. If you read the lyrics differently, that's okay too! For clarity, in this analysis, I will refer to the song's narrator as "Taylor" and the love interest as "the muse." **

Once again getting on my soapbox to remind everyone that Taylor isn't the person wearing the lilac short skirt in the imgonnagetyouback. Let's take a look at the lyrics, shall we?

Yeah, lilac short skirt The one that fits me like skin

In this stanza, Taylor describes a lilac short skirt, noting that it is a skirt that fits her snugly. However, she doesn’t explicitly state who is wearing the skirt at this moment. While it’s possible to infer that she might be the one wearing it here (especially since she has worn it before), this isn’t confirmed in the lyrics. All we know for certain is that Taylor has worn the lilac short skirt in the past, and she's currently describing someone wearing it in this moment. We don't know for sure who is wearing the skirt in this scenario.

Let's see if we can get any context clues in the next few lines.

Did your research You knew the price goin' in

From these lines, we know that the muse did some type of research. Why is the muse doing research? What are they trying to do?

Let's keep reading and see if we can figure anything else out.

And I'll tell you one thing, honey I can tell when somebody still wants me, come clean Standing at the bar like something's funny, bubbly Once you fix your face, I'm goin' in

Ah, so the muse did research, so they could do something to IMPRESS Taylor. These lines tell us that Taylor recognizes that the muse is doing something to win her back. They made a calculated effort to figure out what Taylor likes and are currently doing something to reignite Taylor's interest.

So what exactly is the muse doing to win Taylor back? Well, the only action previously mentioned is wearing a lilac short skirt, which leads me to believe that this is the action the muse is taking to impress Taylor. Additionally, since the entire verse focuses on the muse’s calculated efforts to win Taylor back (researching, posing at the bar), it’s far more coherent and logical to interpret the lilac skirt as part of the muse's performance to impress Taylor.

If we assume Taylor is wearing the skirt, the lyrics feel a bit more disjointed. It abruptly jumps from Taylor's actions straight to the muse's scheming at the bar without any resolution. It's a super awkward perspective shift.

Structurally, it makes more sense to read the entire verse as the muse deliberately adopting Taylor's style (the lilac short skirt) as part of the muse's efforts to win Taylor back.

TLDR: These stanzas describe how the muse is doing something to impress Taylor and win her back. The only action mentioned beforehand is wearing a lilac short skirt, which makes me think MUSE is wearing skirt, rather than Taylor.

Other Fun Connections!

We can also tie this back in with the lyrics of Down Bad.

Did you take all my old clothes? Just to leave me here naked and alone

Of course, Taylor is using this as a metaphor for the vulnerability she feels after the breakup. However, we can also take a more literal approach, interpreting it as the muse literally taking Taylor's clothes when they broke up. If the muse did, in fact, take Taylor’s clothes, it’s very possible that the lilac short skirt the muse is wearing actually previously belonged to Taylor.

Besides, we know that Taylor has always loved a good bait and switch. In her #ForAFortnightChallenge, Taylor wore this Blogilates skirt that Swifties immediately deemed as the "lilac short skirt".

Except the listing shows that the skirt is actually lavender, not lilac.

✨Every bait and switch was a work of art✨
