This sounds suspiciously like the random breakup advice Taylor gave that fan over the summer.
Hidden Message: SHE LOST HIM BUT SHE FOUND HERSELF AND SOMEHOW THAT WAS EVERYTHING Remember all those times Taylor was photographed sneaking into Harry’s hotel late at night? This song is an ode to the paparazzi who gave us those images: “They are the hunters, we are the foxes.” In case you needed more evidence, Taylor wore a fox sweater on that Central Park date. Hidden Message: AND EVERYONE WAS WATCHING It’s also classic text-euphemism for “Hey, I know I kind of ditched you earlier, but now I’m sorry and want to make out with you again.” Harry Styles has definitely sent a text like that. This is a pretty clear reference to the few months in late 2012 that Taylor and Harry had off between tours. With lyrics about “a long six months,” we’re guessing this song is about that. If we believe the official fan narrative of the Harry Styles–Taylor Swift relationship, they had a brief fling in spring 2012, broke up after he made out with some girl in New Zealand, then got back together at the end of the year. Hidden Message: THEN ONE DAY HE CAME BACK Hidden Message: HE ONLY SAW HER IN HIS DREAMSīack to the Styles debate! There’s no way of knowing exactly whether or not Harry Styles has dreamed of Taylor Swift, but lines like “He’s so bad but he does it so well” make us want to throw this one in the Styles pile, too. For the sake of plausible deniability, it was probably smart of Taylor to stay away from specifics, but we would have greatly enjoyed a “MAPLE LATTES”–style liner-notes subtweet here. We’ll table that discussion for a second to get to the Katy Perry dis track. Hidden Message: SHE MADE FRIENDS AND ENEMIES Because: Are we really meant to believe that Harry Styles has been driving around Tribeca pining for Taylor? Is Harry Styles even allowed to drive in the U.S.? “Oi, I’m on the wrong side of the road, innit.” This is where we start to suspect that the guy in these liner notes is more of an archetypal boyfriend rather than one specific dude. Hidden Message: HE DROVE PAST HER STREET EACH NIGHT Solo dancing is a solid post-breakup strategy, as anyone who’s watched an awards show in the past two years could tell you. Our months-long relationships can barely inspire a single tweet, but that’s probably why we’re not international pop stars.Īll Harry Styles had to do was stay on that boat, but he didn’t. (The lyrics about snowmobiles and paper-airplane necklaces give it away.) Does that mean that every song on this album is about Harry Styles? They dated for like a month. Hidden Message: THEY LOVED EACH OTHER RECKLESSLYĪ second straight song for Styles.
Hidden Message: HER HEART BELONGED TO SOMEONE WHO COULDN’T STAYīased on the timeline, the references to busy schedules, and the fact that his last name is Styles, we think we can safely assume that “Style” is about Harry Styles.
#Taylor swift 1989 full album tracklist serial
This is apparently a plight-of-fame song like Britney Spears’s “Lucky,” but instead of committing suicide, she’s embracing the ridiculousness of her “man-eating, jet-setting serial dater” public image. Hidden Message: THERE ONCE WAS A GIRL KNOWN BY EVERYONE AND NO ONE Using our remarkable powers of intuition, we have determined that this song is about New York City.
Hidden Message: WE BEGIN OUR STORY IN NEW YORK And as a result … coming alive.” What does that mean? Join us below to find out! This is a story about coming into your own. As Taylor explains in the forward to the liner notes, “I’ve told you my stories for years now. The big surprise: For the first time, Taylor’s hidden clues are complete sentences, and taken in order, they tell one single story (mostly) about one single dude. As is standard practice any time Swift drops a new album, we’ve spent the mornings decoding the hidden messages in the liner notes of 1989 to figure out who (or what) each song is about this time.
It’s Taylor Swift Day in New York City (and also everywhere else).
