Holy shit I’m just now seeing this!! So happy my list made it into a video! I’m an English lit nerd myself so I had so much fun spending a couple of hours pouring back over the lyrics of her songs and picking out the ones that impressed me as both a reader and a writer. There’s actually a TikTok channel I discovered recently from an English proph who goes into the nuances of her lyrical choices and points out why certain lines, word choices, rhyming schemes, etc are so unusual in the best of ways for a songwriter - especially a pop artist. It’s so interesting from an English language perspective. You can tell that Taylor is clearly a well-read woman.

Great! I think he really liked just seeing them written out like any other poetry.

IKR, you should see pictures of him when he was younger. It's nutz! Glad you enjoyed :)

Holy sh*t, this was amazing. Your Dad gave me so many brand new insights into lyrics I've heard many times and *thought* I properly understood. Wow. Really appreciated this!

Glad you and your dad are doing well!!! Loved this video, it’s great to hear your dads perspective on these lines and what he takes away from him. I could listen to him talk for hours!! I did realise just how much he looks like Jack Antonoff though 😂 You were right!
