Watched the whole thing—which is a whole ass legitimate interview with one of her former classmates. Could be wrong but gonna assume this was approved by her media team.
1)that message in her yearbook is sapphic as hell 😂
2) Taylor was a popular social chameleon with lots of money, different than her public persona
3)they discuss how Taylor describes herself as shy and awkward and wanting the man on the football team — and her classmate kind of laughs and said “I didn’t know she was into…those guys; she was always friends with all of them”. The reporter then asks her, well what kind of guys was she into? (They just discussed how they expected the song Ruin The Friendship to be about Jeff Lang to which she was surprised)- and she goes… I guess if she was allegedly into Drew, then quiet?
——I laughed a lot here, because she was clearly just confused— I assume she thought she was into women 😂
Now onto ruin the friendship-
3) wondering if the song is actually about the interviewee — this chick dated Jeff lang; was Taylor’s friend and overall remembered her fondly including the yearbook signing story; and doesn’t really listen to her music or follow with her much anymore. Jeff Lang’s SISTER had a jeep that he drove. So
Lyrics say brother’s jeep…. Boyfriend’s jeep maybe is what it’s supposed to be, bc otherwise why not just say sister?
When we left school I lost track of you (interviewee)
Abigail called me with the bad news (about your ex dying)
And we’ll never know why (present tense- you and I Will never know why - addressing presumably said friend)
And it was not, an invitation -
But I flew home anyway with so much left to say
It was not convenient (cuz your ex just died)
But I whispered at the grave (THE GRAVE of someone else? Your ex? not “your” grave, like I’m singing to you)
Should’ve kissed you anyway
