From the second Beth first sees Cleo, she’s fascinated by her, so with the guys [in the background] at the hotel, she’s like, ‘Eh, you’re not really that interesting. Cleo, you’re cool.’

After giving you the best I had / Tell me what to give after that / All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness / You gotta leave before you get left

I'm not sure why all the analysis of right where you left me is focusing on a breakup/friendship betrayal so maybe there's something I'm missing, but to me it's very much a song about fame and popularity. not too unlike mirrorball or even the archer. to me, the relationship is more allegorical than about someone specific. like it's about feeling left behind and unable to move forward while people around you do. taylor spoke in miss americana about feeling frozen at the age she became famous - "did you hear about the girl who got frozen? time went on for everybody else" and "she's still 23 in her fantasy" (with that being her age in the red era where she got huge crossover fame but also huge criticism). all the jokes and jabs at her being overly emotional and obsessed with breakups - "did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion? breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it." the breakup in the song can represent both the actual breakups she's been through and the times that the public have effectively broken up with her. then it can be contrasted with it's time to go to highlight how there's a part of her that feels like that but also she's now able to go through a heartbreak or betrayal and let it go, instead of still feeling stranded in that restaurant.

I think loving someone despite what people think is fearless. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is fearless. Letting go is fearless. Then, moving on and being alright…That’s fearless too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily every after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is fearless.

booty shorts that say “your Midas touch on the Chevy door November flush and your flannel cure this dorm was once a madhouse I made a joke well it’s made for me how evergreen our group of friends don’t think we’ll say that word again and soon they’ll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through one for the money two for the show I never was ready so I watch you go sometimes you just don’t know the nswer til someone’s on their knees and asks you she would’ve made such a lovely bride what a shame she’s fucked in the head they said but you’ll find the real thing instead she’ll patch up your tapestry that I shred”
