Scarlet Fever
Funny enough, before this album was released, she did a commencement speech at NYU and said “Scary news is: you’re on your own now. Cool news is: You’re on your own now.” In fact, that entire speech has shades of what she was trying to say in this song.

As usual, really like your interpretation… I hated camp personally, lol, so I enjoy hearing your fond recollections! I think Taylor means this song to reference her middle/high school days in verse 1, discovering competition in the industry in Nashville in verse 2, and everything else is her hard work and realizations in her career… the progression feels so powerful! I love this song… and thx for putting the capo chords on screen too! 🥳🎸
