can you explain the restaurant metaphor?

I think the restaurant is a metaphor for the way Taylor’s fame took a negative turn during the Red era, when she was 23. It reminds me of when a person becomes traumatized and feels trapped in the moment of trauma.

If you weren’t around in 2012-2013 in the fandom, well, it was a bad time. Taylor’s fame was expanding beyond the states, to global heights. But that fame came with a price. It became trendy to hate her. Cruel whispers full of slut-shaming, identity policing, and character assassination became tabloid headlines. Award shows and public events didn’t happen without someone slipping in a “Taylor dates too many men and can’t keep them” joke. Paparazzi would race to capture candids of her with another man in hopes of spreading another boyfriend rumor. Her music was deemed as annoying and whiny as her imagined personality, her talents questioned. It was the inevitable course of fame for successful women, and often still is. This added another strain to Taylor’s relationships. She worried how her fame would impact her love life. Being a successful woman coupled with the gross backlash could make her difficult to want.

Restaurants are very public spaces. Eyes often stray without meaning to, ears pick up on conversations not meant for them. But they’re still cozy when you’re with someone, especially someone you love. The pressure of everyone’s eyes and ears, though, can get overwhelming. When you’re Taylor Swift, they fixate rather than stray. So when Taylor was stood up, it was like the straw breaking the camel’s back. It was a blow when she was already down. It confirmed her deepest fears and broke a dam within her. It was traumatizing. And she’s frozen because that’s what trauma does to you. It whispers in the back of your mind that your fears live around you, that the past is forever part of the present. So there she remained, in the corner of the restaurant, waiting for a love who would never come, in a space where the whispers would go on forever, collecting dust as everyone moves on but her. Because that’s the price of her fame.

This got long oops but basically: restaurant = the public, stood up = fear of being left bc the fame and scrutiny was too much + the already intense trauma from that scrutiny realized, frozen in time = the trauma keeping part of her stuck in the awful moments when the fame became crushing, forever haunting her

To me, Fearless is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.
