sometimes you show them the places where the others gave you scars and then they hurt you in the exact same places. muses acquired like bruises indeed

And when Guilty As Sin? has a music video set in a courtroom where a jury of her peers has to decided who is guilty in the break up, what then?

I’m sorry but the ttpd promo is so good like wtf 😭 who else would leave secret messages around the world and slowly reveal lyrics from songs and hide words in other songs of hers other than TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT

[rosebyanyothernameisascandel]

This whole "Taylor shouldn't rewrite history" thing makes me so mad. Like, which history are you talking about? The history of her life that you've put together in your head based off of her songs and the meanings you have assigned to them?

Ok, we've got some ideas of what's happened; but we don't know what actually inspired her to write each song, we weren't there, Taylor was.

I believe everyone can interpret and contextualise a piece of art/media in a way that reflects their experience and fits what they feel. For me, that's actually what the beauty of art is.

After all, these are just playlists. I think it's an interesting creative experiment, I wouldn't say it permanently changes the meaning of the song, rather, it's just a way to look at a song from a different angle by putting it in a certain context. Not "rewriting history."

But Daddy I Love Him Title Analysis

Lyric Similarities:

"My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be" - Picture To Burn

"And our daddies used to joke about the two of us" - Mary's Song (Oh My My My)

"And my daddy said, 'stay away from Juliet'" - Love Story

"And Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world" - The Best Day

"Talking about your daddy's farm we were gonna buy someday / Talking about your daddy's farm and you were gonna marry me" - We Were Happy

"Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteen" - No Body, No Crime

The song title is a direct quote from Disney’s The Little Mermaid which came out in 1989.

Synopsis: “A mermaid princess makes a Faustian bargain in an attempt to become human and win a prince's love.” aka Ariel gives up her voice to be with the one she loves.

Ariel is 16 in the movie and Taylor has referenced that age multiple times:

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly I wasn’t that little girl you used to see” - Mary's Song (Oh My My My)

“I’m crazier for you than I was at sixteen, lost in a film scene” - Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince

“Teal was the color of your shirt when you were sixteen at the yogurt shop” - invisible string

“Secret jokes all alone, no one’s home, sixteen and wild” - All Of The Girls You've Loved Before

There is another quote from The Little Mermaid that is very reminiscent of cardigan.

The Little Mermaid: "Teenagers. They think they know everything.” cardigan: "When you are young they assume you know nothing"

Taylor has previously dressed up as Ariel at a 2019 New Year's Eve party where they had to dress up as their childhood heroes.

As TTPD promo, she has been hiding words in old songs. The first word is "hereby" which can also be seen in the contract Ariel signs.

Some people think Harry Styles has something to do with the song due to the fact that Harry wore a shirt with the same Little Mermaid quote back in 2020.

(We would need to know the time the song was written to know for sure because currently it just looks like a coincidence. Taylor has only stated a timeline of 2022-2023 for these songs. But as of 4/15 there are no signs.)
