i don’t know if this is anything but you know all the football imagery in the alchemy? what else happens in football stadiums? eras tour. and we joked all fall that eras tour was Barbie’s dream house and football was the mojo dojo casa house. so what if the alchemy we don’t need to fight is maybe our relationship as fans to Taylor.

“I haven’t come around in so long but I’m coming back so strong” she hasn’t toured since rep and she missed us.

“Hey, you, what if i told you we’re cool? That child’s play back in school is forgiven under my rule” she addresses the listener directly here, as she does in other spots in the album but specifically in but daddy i love him where she grapples with outsiders (and fans) judging her. Here she’s saying ok back to you, we’re good. Under my rule it’s all forgiven.

“Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me” what do we do every night on tour? 🫶🏼 we’re always hearts opened for her, regardless of all the critic and push back we give her. Idk

thinking of the alchemy and taylor using the word blokes to show that joe and matty were the ones on the bench and she has travis now. her use of a british slang word in a song full of american football imagery is so clever bc it's telling us that she's over the british men, they're not relevant to her life anymore so they're benched which brings it back to football. also the heroin/e line shows travis joking about her previous relationship with matty as she says several times that he chose drugs over her, while travis is choosing her and making her the heroine of their love story and reassuring her that he knows what her fears are going into it, and that he's not like that at all

the alchemy as in the transformative power of art and love like then something happened one magical night… i had a marvelous time ruining everything and shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when i saw your face and i once was poison ivy but now i’m your daisy and my love had been frozen deep blue but you painted me golden and i make all your gray days clear and the touch of a hand lit the fuse of a chain reaction of counter moves and i trace the evidence make it make some sense and magic, madness, heaven, sin and i grabbed a pen and an old napkin and i wrote down our song
