Okay I- I saw the post from Claire that uh kinda confirms theories that BTTWS may be about a close friend having a m*scarriage and it all makes sense and Claire even quotes it and my heart HURTS for her I mean I've been there both ways too I've also been the friend up all night while someone very close to me went through it and also a very premature birth it's all gutwrenching (and side note I almost wanted to warn my friend not to listen to BTTWS bc it's heartbreaking but the more I listen to it the more I see how actually perfectly and beautifully Taylor put it which I can go on about in another post but) I just- it- it's still bothering me- that she uses the phrase "could've been, would've been, should've been..." as part of the chorus of that song, a very specific phrase, and then she literally used that phrase as the TITLE of her J**** M**** song (do we have a calcium harvest like name for that asshole yet?)... but so like- she never does ANYTHING like that unintentionally. That's too much of a coincidence for those songs not to be somehow connected and it is BOTHERING me it's legitimately kept me up at midnight pondering what is going on it just. It bothers me. I love Taylor. I love Claire. So much pain and heartache I just sgstfisostsotsotsost

#and also the possible explanations i can come up with i just idk #like could it just be as simple as the phrase just worked well in totally separate contexts but since it does seem odd to use that twice...#...like maybe that's why they're both bonus/3am songs bc they wouldn't fit the narrative/would be confusing?#or is it the other way around were they both purposely put together on the 3am #and then like. . did it happen to Taylor (and if it did i think it was early on not with Joe as ppl speculated but that's just theory) and..#...she wanted to get it out there like she has with a lot on this album #and maybe she thought it would be ambiguous enough that ppl wouldn't guess it was about miscarriage rather a metaphor for #her girlhood/the person she might have been/something like that #but then when everyone started with the miscarriage theory bc I'm sorry especially if you've been through it you hear that song and that's #the only thing it could be but so was it like oof they figured it out and so did Claire decide to share her experience to kinda help? ??#like again obvs either way Claire did go through it and i just feel for her so much and it makes perfect sense that Taylor would have been #there grieving alongside her but the song is sung as if it's happened to Taylor...#...but then again she could be doing what Ed did with small bump and singing from the perspective of the mother idk idk #just... why did she specifically use that phrase for both those songs. she's a genius lyricist she could use another for one of them but she #chose to use that for both songs so i just #but bottom line I DO NOT WANT TO PUT OUT SPECULATION ABOUT TAYLORS PRIVATE LIFE so please nobody take this and run with it ok #I'm just theorizing on songs she chose to put out there and we always interpret her songs how we do and sometimes she confirms things #sometimes she doesn't so I'm just like getting this out there but at the same time like PLEASE nobody go try and talk to her /bother #her about that topic that's one we i think need to just not bring up unless she does/makes it clear to do so #but yeah i just fully went on in the tags huh. ..you know what that means i gotta do #if you've read this far you now owe me an ask :) hi
