can someone debunk these one by one? cause I hate to say it but it all sounded convincing to me 😩
Sure bestie. First of all, Taylor said in this video from Sep 19, 2016 that she's starting the next album and is going back to the studio after being out of work.
SIG – If you want a longwinded response, you can find it here and here. But basically, Oscar said in the interview that it was the last song done with Max and Shellback, so it would've been written in 2017 when his son was born.
Dress – The verses, pre-chorus and chorus sound like an fwb type situation imo, so it makes sense that she wrote down one-liners in 2016. And then some time in 2017, she wrote the bridge and put everything together. That's not to say she couldn't have also taken inspiration from character dynamics etc, but the timeline definitely does work.
KOMH – None of us are ~claiming it was written in September, we just counted backwards. There's a more detailed explanation here, and we've talked about the August theory too. Idk what anon is getting at with the E! article, because many of their sources are made up, and no one hints at lyrics in meaningless fluff articles anyway.
Gorgeous – Again, I have no idea what point they’re trying to make, but the Making of a Song dates here and here are correct.
