so getaway car is from the perspective of the cheater, august is from the perspective of the other woman, and the other side of the door is from the perspective of the woman who was cheated on. thinking
A folklore background made by me!🤍 (bluewhiteseagull)
Taylor played a mash-up of getaway car🚗- august☀️- tosotd🚪 so it was the first time that more than 2 songs are played as surprise songs and "august" is the first song that is included in the setlist but was performed as a surprise song!!
Ok, I did it, I formulated Thoughts about the mashup…to me the inclusion of August in particular which is already on the setlist makes it super clear she wants to tell a story to give hints towards the subject matter of TTPD. Like she just seems so desperate to share with us right now. And this is the story I think she’s trying to tell:
Getaway car - just like she has implied that she felt before, she was desperate for a way out in her previous relationship & maybe ended up going about it in a less than ideal way (no judgment is meant by this statement just to be super clear)
August - such a short and brief snippet just like a certain fling with someone with a name like Margarine Hellhole or smth…I might even go further and suggest maybe it could represent Margarine’s perspective
TOSOTD - the reason why she felt like she needed a getaway car & how she felt afterwards
All in all it just makes me very :( to share her feelings like this is just so brave and I am grateful for her
was listening to getaway car today and at the end i started singing the tosotd outro in my head bc ever since i saw it live it’s been ENGRAVED in my brain but it fits sooo well!!
She really was just fuckin’ around up there and vibing bc why did i just watch a clip of a Getaway Car x August x The Other Side Of The Door mashup from last night?
WITH YOUR FACE AND THE BEAUTIFUL EYES AND THE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE LITTLE WHITE LIES AND THE FADED PICTURE OF A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT YOU CARRIED ME FROM YOUR CAR UP THE STAIRS AND I BROKE DOWN CRYING WAS SHE WORTH THIS MESS AFTER EVERYTHING IN THAT LITTLE BLACK DRESS AFTER EVERYTHING I MUST CONFESS I NEED YOU
