![]() ![]() Everything here points to this song being about a short-lived relationship - possibly the one she shared with Tom Hiddleston in 2016. If you thought “Lavender Haze” would be the only song on the album to reference a very specific color, you’ve clearly never listened to an album by Taylor Swift, noted inventor of the color red. The only girl they see (the only girl they see) is a one night or a wife.” This sentiment is also referenced by the line, “I’m damned if I do give a damn what people say.” The lines suggest that Swift is tired of this line of questioning, and signals an interest in subverting gender roles and a desire to be seen as more than a wife or girlfriend. The singer has said as much in talking about the song on social media: “My relationship for six years, we’ve had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it, and so this song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff.” She specified that she came across the phrase “lavender haze” while watching Mad Men, and that it described the feeling of being in love Gaylors, naturally, were not pleased.Ī post shared by Taylor Swift and Alwyn have frequently dodged rumors and questions that they’re engaged, and this song seems to address that speculation head-on as Swift sings, “All they keep asking me (all they keep asking me) is if I’m gonna be your bride. Gaylor theorists (Swifties who believe Swift is bisexual and has dated several of her female friends) may have been convinced that the “lavender” mentioned in the title was referring to the historically queer connotations of the color, but the first song on Midnights appears to be about Joe Alwyn, Swift’s boyfriend of six years. Rather, Midnights is a return to an intensely autobiographical Taylor, making it extremely ripe hunting material for sleuthing Swifties. ![]() ![]() The rest of Midnights - plus its seven bonus tracks that Swift surprise-released at 3 am - feels equally personal gone are the fictional stories woven throughout her pandemic indie rock albums Folklore and Evermore. “ a real guided tour throughout all the things I tend to hate about myself,” she explains. She’s already shared that the album is made up of “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life,” and in her pre-release teasers on Instagram and TikTok, Swift revealed that “Anti-Hero” will be the lead single, a song about her struggles with fame and biggest insecurities. Of course, there have already been fun little gems for Swifties to enjoy for one, Midnights came out as Swift turned exactly 12,000 days old, alluding to the numbers around a clock, a present motif in her earlier work (and especially in this album). Who knows? In the meantime, it will continue to feel wrong wanting to cheer for a guy WWE seems so intent on having work heel.As of October 21 at midnight, Taylor Swift’s 10th studio album, Midnights, is officially out in the world, and besides the obvious question (is it more like Reputation or more like Lover?), fans can finally dig into all the lyrical hints and Easter eggs characteristic of a much-hyped Swift release in their standard manner: fanatically. Perhaps there are plans to change this soon enough, and he’ll win the Money in the Bank ladder match and turn babyface while cashing in on somebody. One minute they’re cheering Rey Mysterio’s offense, the next minute they’re following along to Knight’s prompts to shout his name before he drops an elbow on ol’ Rey. There’s something really off putting about having a guy fans are so eager to throw their full support behind really playing it up as a heel while still pandering to them with his wildly popular catchphrases. Yet that’s exactly what was happening on this week’s show, as he attempted to put the boots to Rey Mysterio following a clean win but was run off by Santos Escobar. There was a time WWE would take this to me he should be turned babyface, because he’s clearly got so much fan support that it dictates no longer booking him to do things like beat up babyfaces after he already defeated them in a match. Yet another episode of Friday Night SmackDown has come and gone and yet another crowd, this one full of fine folks from Louisiana, opted to loudly cheer for one LA Knight. ![]()
