I just would like to bring up this heavenly cover, (if you haven’t watched her cover of this you need to) because I have many things to say after reading comments, and just watching it.
(This cover aired October, 2014)
I love that she’s so “straight” that not only did she not change the pronouns, but her and the interviewer said the song was from a woman’s perspective.
Let’s simply go through the lyrics shall we? Here’s a little key for my organized babes reading my complicated explanation 😘
Orange: Karlie
Pink: Taylor
Blue: 1989
Green: evermore
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Taylor was scared of pretty girls, does that sound like any supermodel we know?
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
Taylor quit her life back home in Pennsylvania & Nashville and headed to New York City, and lived near who? Cornelia street anyone?
This living situation obviously resulted in quite the album called “1989”.
This video came out on October 9th, 2014, it was obviously promo for 1989 which came out October 27th, 2014.
We obviously know and realize that part of 1989 is about Diana Aragon and Taylor’s relationship with her.
We also realize that by the time both this interview and 1989 came out Taylor had publicly known Karlie for 11 months.
However this Victoria’s Secret fashion show⬇️ was actually taped in November of 2013, so they had officially known each other almost a full year privately.
So the way she didn’t change any pronouns and was so happy singing it because of this lack of change, implys her happiness with whatever relationship they had going on. Whether that be platonic or romantic.
This cowboy's running from himself
Taylor is running from herself and the pain she caused herself with her last relationships. And of course Incidentally references her not yet planned 9th studio album.
And the song called “cowboy like me”
You're a cowboy like me, Perched in the dark
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life (fame +riches)
Never thought I'd meet you here (at a VS fashion show? 😏)
It could be love
Wonder who that songs about… anyway-
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Karlie is a supermodel, she makes bank, and gets the highest tier treatment.
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen
(Michelle pfeiffer left, karlie kloss right) If you skip to 2:20 in the video, Taylor cannot keep a straight face simply out of anticipation to sing this lyric. She’s grinning up to her eyes. 💗
A little bit self explanatory why this cover wasn’t done just for promo isn’t it?
Taylor communicates with us. People just don’t listen.
