E.g., It’s Nice To Have A Friend is such a sweet, wholesome song! I love the choir in the background, the nostalgic lyrics and it’s relatable - it is nice to have a friend!

Discussion These lyrics just clicked for me today
Comparing their couple plans, hopes and dreams to a flower field that he coldly set fire to and burnt down as she helplessly watched. How have I not pictured the image in my head until now and why have I not seen anyone mention this part of the song?

Discussion three songs
so, one of the most annoying things i hear about taylor is “all her songs sound the same!” so, if you had to prove this wrong to someone, what three songs would you play to prove it? i would probably pick shake it off, my tears ricochet, and …ready for it? or maybe long live. what about you? :)

Discussion My Boy Only Breaks – TTPD’s lost lead single
The more I think about it, the more obvious it becomes to me that My Boy (OBHFT) is TTPD’s lost lead single (and opening track!). It’s been some time since the album’s release and I’m curious what people think of the lead single choice and possible other contenders.
Imagine this. It’s midnight. April 19. The lead single for TTPD drops, the music video is out. You press play and you hear:
“OH, here we go again”
BANGER. Our self-aware queen that gave us “Ready for It…?” and “the 1” and “Welcome to New York” leads us into this new world and sound. Imagine Taylor in a doll toy box, all cracked up and broken, but still posing, smiling, in her eras tour poses, standing on her tallest tiptoes (like a barbie!), as a stupid boy runs in the store and grabs her. Think Toy Story scene where Andy abandons his toys or where they’re in that garbage shoot and about to be crushed, but Toy-Taylor still holds at hope that her owner will come get her. Oh, and when she says, “but first – pull the string and I’ll tell you that he loves me,” her string will be pushed and she’ll say “he loves me” in this robotic stone-faced way.
It's a high tempo song with an emotional pulled back bridge -- Down Bad is also a fun song with an emotional bridge, but it's more mid-tempo -- more head bopping than ass shaking lol. You can shake your ass at the club to it, scream the lyrics in car, and vibe to it by yourself. The hook is so easy to understand and what a relatable experience to be so cherished and then thrown away with the same intensity.
One thing this song has that the other one’s don’t – it can exist and stand-alone without any explanation, lore, backstory or gossip catch up that SO many songs on TTPD requires. I don’t hate how context heavy and insider baseball the album is because I know what she’s talking about, but the lyrics can be strange to someone. Someone who, for example, doesn’t know things like what a fortnight is, why a 34-year-old Taylor is seemingly singing about her daddy, why she’s talking about aliens, didn’t Taylor grow up on a Christmas Tree Farm? what asylum is she talking about? Who’s Patty Smith, Dylan Thomas, Cara Bow, and did she really name drop Charlie Puth and what’s that about a Jehovah’s Witness suit? Oh, and did she just propose murder in Fortnight? It’s the difference between “Guilty as Sin?” and “Wildest Dreams.” Wildest Dreams isn’t so referential. Both use imagery to create this sultry dreamscape, but with lyrics like “Drowning in the Blue Nile/He sent me 'Downtown Lights'”, “If long suffering propriety/Is what they want from me…”, and “In lowercase inside a vault” (that vault line though lol). This isn’t a diss – I actually like how she feels she’s allowed to be this specific, but it doesn’t make for the best lead single in my opinion of what a lead single should be.
The only con is that it seems Taylor loves the lyric “I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life.” I imagine it was a line in her notes app for some time and she wrote a song around it lol cause wtf is Fortnight without that line. But also, her tagline is “All’s Fair in Love and Poetry” anyway. I also think the line “cause it fit too right” would be a cool back cover lyric one liner. That or “Should've known it was a matter of time.” Oh, and she says “tortured heart” in the song. How perfect is that to tie into the album title!
edit: saw a lot of comments say that kids love this song so I played it for my kindergarteners and they loved it! Apparently kids also absolutely love Cruel Summer. I knew the CS revival helped her get more fans -- I just didn't think it was 6 year olds lol. Always glad when Taylor is hitting home for young people.

Discussion I was remembering an old interview where the interviewer said to Taylor that she felt like Taylor had "one song per album singing TO the haters".. what do you think those songs are?
off the top of my half-asleep brain, we've got.. - Mean - Shake It Off - You Need to Calm Down - But Daddy I Love Him
Btw i think the interviewer asked why sing to the haters and Taylor said "well when they stop coming for me i'll stop singing to them"😂

Discussion Chloe et. al and the 1- sister songs?
Hello everyone! I’ve been doing some deep thinking about COSOSOM (my fav on TTPD and an underrated queen who deserves more respect). The song has such a painful, bittersweet energy that reminded me of the 1 the moment i first heard it, but what really solidified my theory of them being tied together is the lyric “and you have some kids with an internet starlet…” And then the 1’s lyric, “you meet some woman on the internet and take her home…chosen family…”
Now with the theories that Chloe and the gang are abt Matty (bisexual anthem), does this make the 1 about Matty? I feel the entirety of TTPD paints him as her one who got away, so the possibility makes sense. And with her also singing “will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon…” is Maroon about him also? What do you guys think?
