#but idk sometimes it makes me uncomfortable to reduce the songs to the muse ykwim?

#so I don’t watch a ton of reaction videos and stuff like that#or even deep dives in general#because one thing I’ve noticed is that people will take a phrase or reference#and claim it HAS to be about this event or person#because it’s repeated or whatever#like ‘oh she said this which is THIS PERSON coded’#or ‘she said this same phrase in this other song they must BOTH be about THAT PERSON’#etc. and so on#and look I think Taylor does that to some degree when it makes sense#but I also think a lot of the time the likelier option is that she just really likes a turn of phrase and reuses it#whether its consciously or not#the obvious one being ‘casually cruel’ in both all too well and Mr perfectly fine#and the songs clearly have different inspirations#I love deciphering and interpreting lyrics#and yes the nosy part of me wants the tea I’m human#but sometimes the constant ‘this HAS to be about Jake/joe/harry/calvin/etc’ pinpointing#gets in the way of enjoying the actual lyricism for me#maybe the girl is just really bad at driving (I kid)#and like I said I am definitely ready to decode the tea#but idk sometimes it makes me uncomfortable to reduce the songs to the muse ykwim?#this is just a me thing though I know#tag novel#like as someone who has only been in the only fandom for a year-18 months#and before that just enjoyed the music on my own and fell in love with the lyricism and melodies#I just don’t particularly care most of the time about who the subject is because that isn’t how I came to learn about the music#it was for how Taylor wrote about the feelings and the moments#to be clear I’m talking about like the YouTube and Reddit crowds#you people on my dash with your thoughtful analyses are wonderful and thoughtful and I am so grateful to be here!
