"you kicked out the stage lights but you're still performing" idk what it is about this line but it's my favorite on the album. There's many lines I love but this 1 really hits different.

I took the "hung me on your wall/stabbed me with your push pins" as him hanging a poster of her, because he was a fan of her work, which is then contrasted with how he actually treats her once he has her. Of course the violent imagery could also imply this act is more sinister than that.

Typical narc behavior. They build you up just to tear you down. Show you off in public just to treat you like garbage in private. It's so gross.

I took it that he mapped out where she was going to be (while on her tours) with push pins. They’d been in contact for a decade so he’d have been keeping tabs on her to be able to tell her that he’d be there for her, wherever she is. (ALL LIES, obv) You can hear the pure anger in her voice. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her sing so hurt and mad before. I hope he apologized to her for what he did to her. The performance of this song (on her tour) is like a military coup and she really gets to the point!!

Such a powerful song and somehow even more powerful live. The “you hung me on your wall … stabbed me with your push pins” can be taken at once as her being put on display as a poster (look at the global pop star I’m dating) and as someone (frequently little boys) collecting insects (most often butterflies, which have a definite history as a metaphor for Swift), puts them on display, stabbing them with pins and perhaps putting them under glass to examine. If you’re familiar with the 1975 and Matty Healy’s work you may have noticed them on stage in their lab coats and Healy’s short films in his lab coat, conducting mysterious experiments. (Healy also frequently takes the stage in basic black suits, not unlike those a Jehovah’s Witness might wear as they proselytize.) They’re also known for their performance art vibe, with Healy seeming to inhabit an obnoxious toxic rock star dude bro character on - and sometimes off - stage. Of course TS would question whether any of it was ever true or if she’d just been some performance art experiment after a potentially long process of being love bombed and then once they finally got together him ghosting her. Of course she’d question if “rusting her sparkling summer/crashing her party” (the historic Eras Tour) had been his goal all along. And you really called it re Taylor taking much more heat for Healy’s antics and words than Healy himself took. The misogyny (including a lot of internalized misogyny) of certain very vocal and chronically online segments of the Swiftdom were on full display during that whole episode. If it was a social experiment for Healy, the fandom was very much part the experiment, having some of our most toxic tendencies put on full display. While it might be human nature to wonder who different songs were written about, the album really seems to be about how artists are treated by the industry, the media, their own fans, and society in general. It makes a compelling case for the damage done by a certain level of fame. That also calls to mind two poems that famously reference albatrosses.

You had way deeper thoughts than me here, I just thought the push pins line was a dig at his manhood (or lack of) I'm always amazed at how many different things people draw from her lyrics 🤯

wow, thank you so much for taking the time to explain you interpretation. I haven't really seen many of the 1975's performances but it makes me want so because it seems like she was really drawing connections to him there. And exactly! I know she is a huge public figure but to try to burn her at the stake for someones elses actions is interesting to say the least...

The other thing is Marty is VERY self-conscious about his height (and you will notice how Taylor was always wearing flats when with him). Matty regularly lies about his height… even makes videos to try to convince people so calling him ‘small’ is not just a metaphor but literal.

This song is not “just about ghosting” this is about a man who love bombed her for years. Who she finally left her longtime relationship for, who she had a 2 weeks toxic relationship with and who then treated her like an also-ran, showed his true colors and then just disappeared… Taylor is calling him out and asking what the f was that?! WHY did you do this to me, what was the purpose.. Taylor has only written 2 other songs like this. Dear John and Would’ve could’ve should’ve… that in it self says a lot. This album is Taylor explaining to us what happened. What went down. And also how she was feeling during this time. And her reflecting over her life and her career. I don’t agree that every song is about Matty. There are songs about Joe and Matty but also other people she’s been in relationships with. To me this album is her putting an end to all her Eras. Telling us about what her re-recording processes has taught her. How she has been feeling. Talking about some of her biggest fears, putting an end to the whole Kim/Kanye situation and so on. We can all speculate about which song is about who.. The only one who knows that for sure is Taylor. What we can say with 100% certainty though is that all the songs are about Taylor

Jared, if you decide to react to the Eras Tour in Paris on night 1 (N1) This song is followed by I can do it with a broken heart. There is a skit in between them that connects them. So do those 2 together, I hope you do, it is so awesome with a very unique costume change.

10:30 I get why you thought that you missed something because when you paused I was ready to keep singing because I think this song escalates from "🎵 And I don't even want you back, I just want to know...🎶" until the end.

When you think about how much that industry would like to bring her down with all that power she has right now rerecording her albums and taking sole ownership, Matty would have been her downfall and a way to get her down with the alleged drug use and all.

Great job, for someone so young you really grasped the content of what is a common practice for men, the one-night stand, although these days there are women who do it too. But to do that to Taylor Swift is unforgivable, he may have to go into hiding.
