1. ready for it
embodies the rush of having new feelings for someone. immediately breaking all her rules for a person who seems so different from everyone else, knowing the risks involved but being so drawn to him that she can’t resist
2. end game
this song describes such a sense of desperation and open-hearted desire for him, as she practically begs this crush to see past her “reputation” and accept the love she’s willing to give him. these feelings are endgame, not just casual attraction
3. i did something bad
going against what society views as “good” or what’s expected of her. she disregards the idea of being “polite” about her feelings by finally respecting herself and disposing of those who aren’t good in her life. she embraces the judgement she can’t escape
4. don’t blame me
the love for this person is unlike anything she’s felt before. all her past relationships have so clearly led her up to this point, and she’s willing to do anything to keep it. she knows she sounds crazy, but understands that this is something that’s worth it
5. delicate
the chasing and desperate feelings of longing for him are met with fear for the fragility of what they have together. this song is a brief pause to the thrill of her new romance, expressing the insecurities and doubts that come along with such intense emotions
6. look what you made me do
dealing with the trauma and deeds of those who ruined her reputation. this song is about her desire for vengeance and how she managed to build herself up from the ashes, hoping one day those who hurt her face the consequences for their actions
7. so it goes
uhm this one’s pretty self explanatory ngl... but yeah basically describes how magnetic their connection is with one another. even if things get uncertain between them when they don’t see each other for a while, everything fits right back the second they’re together
8. gorgeous
pure longing and attraction for the love interest whom she clearly cannot be with due to outside circumstances. this song is about frustration and temptation to ditch her current situation, as this man seems so irresistible and continuously draws her in further
9. getaway car
even if her circumstances weren’t ideal when she first met him, they both knew immediately that they needed to be together: whatever the cost. this song describes her decision to abandon her current relationship in order to pursue something stronger
10. king of my heart
she realizes how safe and loved she feels in the relationship she’s worked hard to foster. her pain has been worth it; she’s finally found the one who could be the end to all of her heartbreaks and whom she’s wildly attracted to both physically and mentally
11. dancing with our hands tied
although she has her fears about risking the love she’s worked hard to protect, it doesn’t stop her from giving him her all. she feels safe with him but can’t help but worry the public will tear them apart, just as it’s done to past relationships
12. dress
describes the careful, secret intimacy that they have with one another. she doesn’t care if it ends recklessly, because she’s honestly having the time of her life with him. she’s waited so long to have him and it’s all paid off; their chemistry together is unmatched
13. this is why we can’t have nice things
she tried forgiving those who harmed her in the past, but they came and stabbed her in the back yet again. she’s so over it at this point that she can’t help but laugh, and she knows that she has people who truly love her to back her up
14. call it what you want
she’s found true love and a best friend in the same person. she’s never felt so deeply loved by anyone like this before, and everything she did to be with him and protect them was worth it. he doesn’t love her for her reputation, he loves her for her
15. new year’s day
through the good and bad, she’s willing to be there for him. she never wants to lose him and knows their relationship won’t be perfect, but she’ll do everything she can to make sure they stay together. she really cherishes their memories and always will
anyways this concludes my analyzation, this album really tells an intricate story and i find myself more touched by it every time i listen. these two have a beautiful connection and i’m so happy for both of them <3 :”) stan taylor swift and joe alwyn
