Live your life even if that means being Very Online.” “And I ain’t tryna mess with your self-expression” As Swift explained in a video to her fans on social media, “I’ve observed a lot of different people in our society who put so much energy and effort into negativity, and it made me feel like, ‘You need to just calm down.’” You good, bro? You’re subtweeting me, but what’s this really about? Is this really about the mean comment, or is this about yourself and your own insecurities? In my opinion, the overall message of the first verse is simply: Stop bullying. “And I’m just like, ‘Hey, are you okay?’”
(My inner Taylor Swift voice is extremely pugnacious and ready for combat.) This lyric could also be referencing Swift’s feud with Kim Kardashian, who famously subtweeted the singer in 2016 with a bunch of snake emoji. Oh really? You’re gonna subtweet me? No, do it, pussy. “But you say it in a Tweet, that’s a cop-out” Also some fans think knockout refers to the “Bad Blood” music video, in which Taylor’s former BFF, Karlie Kloss, plays a character called Knockout. If you have something to say, say it to my face. “Say it in the street, that’s a knockout” (She, uh, also released the song on the dude’s birthday, so there’s that.) Some fans think this song is a direct to Donald Trump - and with his infamous sunrise Twitter-diarrhea rants, the theory totally tracks. You’re roasting me before my java’s been roasted. I don’t know you, yet you’re being mean to me. “But you’re takin’ shots at me like it’s Patrón” Let’s decode this beast together, line by line.Įw. Now she’s back with a second upbeat, Pride-parade-on-roids-sounding single, “ You Need to Calm Down.” Written by Swift and Joel Little, the song has mazelike lyrics that sent fans into a tizzy, proving once and for all that my favorite pop star has the one thing I’ve always feared most: Big Riddle Energy. Swift’s new, rainbow-laden era launched in April with a giant clue trail leading up to the release of the first single, “ME!,” off her just-announced seventh album, Lover.
Swift is like a pop-star Sphinx, demanding you solve a riddle or thou shalt not pass. But recently, I realized my favorite pastime is decoding Taylor Swift’s labyrinthine puzzles on social media and in her music. Riddles and puzzles are creepy when men present them. I used to think there was nothing more bone-chilling than a man who uses the word riddle. Photo: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for iHeartMedia
