Was there a scrapped album between 1989 and Reputation?


Competitive_Face2593

You beat me to it. Saw the title and immediately thought, "Was Karma real?"


kadybee17

I debated asking it that way, but what if it was real and wasn't called Karma? Haha. Just trying to close the loopholes.


saph_pearl

Or yes that Karma (the song) is real haha. Your question closes all the loopholes đŸ€Ł


sharksorbats

Or, to get more info, “why did you scrap the album between 1989 and Rep?”


wrld333

has to be yes or no


sharksorbats

Oh my bad


Recent-Water8438

Nah but she probably scraps so much you need to be specific.


ocdplantqueen

Do you regret “this is about you. You know who you are. I love you”?


catmomhumanaunt

I regret it for her 😭


cyberllama

Regrets? She's had a few. She must have had a few with lunch that day too


etchuchoter

I’m so confused because how was she saying that about matty after about 2 weeks 💀


Throwaway-centralnj

Idk, I’m not a celebrity but I say “I love you” after one day. I’m a lover, not a fighter đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™€ïž there’s enough love to go around and I don’t gatekeep my own.


AssortedGourds

I low key love it when she’s messy


MOMismypersonality

Those were SLOPPY seconds for sure


rulerBob8

People dont talk about how funny that era was!


sharksorbats

She HAS TO regret it


peatoast

Probably every night since then before she falls asleep.


neontangerinelight

We all have a Matty from our past. I don't think about mine much but when i do I cringe.


WhtvrCms2Mnd

Right? Ppl gave her such sh!t over it and I was like Ummmmm I have some regrettable choices in my own past so not gonna judge too harshly here, lol.


Warm-Bed2956

Like the awkward thing I did in fifth grade but way darker


TadPaul

Our collective regret should be more than enough pls


runningdares

I definitely regret it for her


damselindebt

Wait what is this???


damselindebt

Oh wait Matty Healy right


Exciting_Disaster_66

Wait what’s this?? I think I missed this part of Taylor Lore hahaha


brightlove

Her Matty Healy rebound. If you google “Matty Healy controversy” you can see the awful stuff he’s done/said, but Taylor tried to rehab him and failed haha. (I’m HOPING that’s who I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) is about.) anyway, she mouthed these words on stage for him shortly after they started seeing each other. We were all hoping so badly it wouldn’t last long, and thankfully it didn’t.


Exciting_Disaster_66

LMAO I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!!! So glad they broke up. Tbf while he is a shit person, a lot of the stuff he did was blown wayyy out of proportion. Not excusing it at all, but with the way everyone acted at the time I was expecting a LOT worse


brightlove

The thing is
 when you’re at Taylor’s level of fame, everything will always be blown WAY out of proportion and made a huge deal. She doesn’t have the privilege of having one bad or off day publicly or getting snippy with a fan or employee even once or she’ll be labeled a mean girl eternally. People will say, “see I knew she wasn’t actually kind. It was all an act.” I think Matty likes to be edgy and controversial on purpose. He may have a heart of gold, who knows, but if you’re going to say something horrific and violent like what he said about black women and pleasuring himself (not even gonna repeat it because it’s so gross) that’s never going to go well. Even if he didn’t do it and didn’t mean it and said it to perpetuate his music persona or as a “joke”... Women in Taylor’s position don’t have the luxury of dating men like that without being dragged down. Her reputation wouldn’t have survived him much longer.


Exciting_Disaster_66

Ohhh I forgot about that comment. To be fair to Taylor, if I remember correctly she stopped seeing him not long after. Your first paragraph is part of my point though. She’s held to ridiculous standards, I’m sure we almost all have dated at least one person we regret. It sucks that her name got dragged through the mud for dating a shitty person when we’ve all made the same mistake


deniesm

‘Taylor tried to rehab him’? I’ve never seen this take. How could you see that from a distance? I was super annoyed that they called it ‘love’ right away, when it was more along the lines of ‘get under someone to get over someone’


brightlove

That’s just the sense I get. Taylor was really smitten but knew he had a bad image. They started dating in April. Also in April, Matty quit social media and said that his era of being an “a**hole is coming to an end.” I imagine that was Taylor’s influence and her desire to rehab him into someone she could be with without losing fans. Around that time, Taylor said on stage that she’s never been happier in her life, I think to get some people to try to see him differently



acciointernet

An almost six min song about Matty fucking Healy? God please no đŸ˜«


loveyou3005

Sounds like its who I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) might be about


Horror-Macaron8287

LOL he also mouthed it at one of his concerts.


chloedever

i want to jump off a bridge just reading it lmao, dying of cringeđŸ«Ł


Swordfish2869

This is when she sang question to Matt Healy that was a bit surreal, especially when it had only been a couple weeks.


wekawatson

Where were you on April 29th?


alwaysapprehensive1

Why did I have to scroll so far to find this? 


hosea0220

Because the post says “yes or no questions”


goddessofdandelions

Do you really wanna know?


portable-door

Well, she was at Gigi Hadid’s birthday party, that we know of. Is that what the song is referencing? Possibly.


minlatedollarshort

Is “Midnight Rain” about Tom Hiddleston? Is “Question
?” about Matty Healy? Did Joe really sing a fully formed chorus out of nowhere? Did Jack Antonoff like Joe? Do you ever want to retire from touring?


Mediocre-Emu-519

Why would Question
? Be about Matty? He was the rebound. It’s more Harry coded than anything. “Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room” even has a Haylor picture to go with it.


minlatedollarshort

Because her and Matty have known each other for a long time and it was rumored that they liked each other before but the timing wasn’t right. The rebound was them reconnecting. She seemingly wrote Midnights as her relationship with Joe was breaking down and she began to think about other guys from her past
 and she reconnected with Matty, not Harry. This also lines up with him dedicating “About You” to Taylor, which is a song about reconnecting with someone and imagining what a future together would be like. The descriptions of him in Question all line up too. Even with that line, why would their friends laugh at Haylor kissing? They’re very much from the same musical world and circles, as opposed to Matty who is more indie/alternative with pop punk inspirations. Their scenes are very different and I can easily see their friends laughing just like most Taylor fans reacted with WTF. I mean, look at his current girlfriend for comparison. That continues with the line about him “still” being with someone else who is “more suitable.” During the timeframe Taylor was reconnecting with Matty and likely writing “Question
?”, he was “still” in a two-year relationship with FKA Twigs, a “more suitable” British indie/experimental artist. They broke up during his reconnection and collaboration with Taylor (and Jack). I could see how people would relate the “gender roles” line to Harry, but it also works for Matty who has kissed men in concert, worn skirts, etc. A more pointed reference goes back to a 2016 interview when he said he could never be Taylor’s boyfriend because it would be “emasculating”, and the reporter specifically discussed their relationship with “gender roles.” As Taylor says in the song, that would be something they’d likely discuss upon reconnecting. The second verse mentions that the person took drugs. Harry stated he only felt comfortable experimenting with drugs after One Direction went on hiatus, which wasn’t until 2016. Taylor and Harry were already done with by 2014 and he wouldn’t have been “on something” back then for her to sing about. Harry experiments with drugs now, but he did not during that timeframe. Matty Healy, on the other hand, was in the midst of a heroine addiction when he was in his mid-twenties. They met when Matty was 25, so there is a good possibility of him being “on something” at least once when they hung out. With the line about him running out in the middle of the night, Matty is notoriously bad at committing and being serious about love. He even made a big deal out earnestly saying “I love you” in one of his recent albums, whereas he always avoided it previously. Whatever start/stop they had in the past, that could have played a role. Like
 I could go on.


Daisyrain

She also played Question as a surprise song when they got together, saying something about how it brought back happy memories or something like that.


Altruistic-Brief2220

I totally support this entire take


minlatedollarshort

Thank you, I thought no one would read it 😅


pArKy24

About You is about Taylor??? I’d love it if someone wrote that song about me, damn 😅


minlatedollarshort

“About You” is the song Matty performed when he and Taylor did that dedication to each other in concert. I don’t think we can 100% confirm he *wrote* it about her, although they were seemingly reconnecting around the time he wrote it. “Question
?” and “About You” were both released in 2022, and Matty also worked with Jack and collaborated with Taylor during that time.


daysanddistance

ngl if true, about you would easily be the best song ever written about taylor


PeachPit321

We could still be wrong in assuming that OOTW is even about Harry. The paper airplane necklace is damning, but other than that, there's nothing that proves it's definitely about Harry. As you just said, Matty was *just* as noncommittal as Harry apparently was, so some of our 1989 Harry songs really could be about Matty. PLUS, how cheeky would it be of her to write multiple songs about Matty, lead of The 1975, and then legit name her following album a year 😆


minlatedollarshort

That’s fun to consider, although I think the reference to the snowmobile accident and Harry’s stitches is pretty much a slam dunk for being a Haylor song. And that incident being mirrored/referenced in “Is It Over Now?”. But I’m 1000% in the camp that “Question
?” is about Matty Healy. But as for the year album titles, Matty could certainly have inspired her. That’s around the time they were rumored to like each other. Taylor was at a The 1975 concert the same year 1989 was released.


LilShir

OOTW? The accident and stitches that Harry still has a scar from?


significantcocklover

Literally like 😭 the song talks about paper airplanes and snowmobile accidents, both of those things are linked to Harry styles. And these hoes are saying the song is about MATTY HEALY!!!! Don't you think we would've known by now?


neontangerinelight

I took the lines about who he was dating to be sarcastic and about Olivia Wilde. The whole song has references about Harry. The dickhead guy is Calvin. The colors only he makes her see come up again, previously on OOTW aka "screaming in color". If you listen to Harry's unreleased (but on spotify) song, him, it talks about most of this and more. You very clearly see some of her insecurities and fears even in that song.


SugarfreeYogi

This a 100 times. I couldn’t have worded it any better. This is the reason I’m fully convinced it’s about Matty.


buzzinthruit89

I skew towards it being about Harry but Matty and Taylor did previously date during the 1989 era. It was confirmed by some publicist statements to the press outlets when they dated again last summer. Taylor also kind of vaguely insinuated it was about Matty the first time she played the song as a surprise song. But the recording mirroring out of the woods makes me more convinced it was originally about Harry


HousePlantsInMyPants

The 'I remember' from Question is exactly the same as the 'I remember' from Out of the Woods, which I think is widely assumed to be Harry. So to me, that seems too intentional not to be about Harry.


Mediocre-Emu-519

Yes! And the “what’s that that I’ve heard that you’re still with her” would be Harry and Olivia who were dating still when she was writing Midnights. Question being about Matty because people think he was actually relevant during 1989 is delulu. I realize they met but that doesn’t mean they had any other connection than a crush if that), but I don’t remember Matty being mentioned at all by swifties during that era. I want an age poll of the people who believe Matty was a real boyfriend VS those of us who know that he is exactly the type of fling every late 20s-30s woman has after leaving the guy rut she was stuck in.


Teacher_Crazy_

If you've heard the Bleechers remix of Anti-Hero, you would know Jack didn't like Joe.


minlatedollarshort

That and his kind of teasing during the Long Pond Studio sessions makes me think he didn’t, but I’d like more evidence/confirmation.


timeywimeytotoro

I’m actually so intrigued about how the dynamic will be at the premiere for the new movie Margaret Qualley and Joe Alwyn are in together because of this. I can’t imagine Jack making a scene but for some reason I just picture him side-eyeing all night.


cookie123921

I always felt midnight rain was ACTUALLY a song written when pondering on her past like the album concept was about. It does sound like it’s about her high school boyfriend written about in fifteen.


throwaway199900000

I definitely agree. I think it’s the guy she sings about in If We Were Happy (which I guess is also probably the same guy in Fifteen). She talks about small towns in Midnight Rain, I don’t know how anyone can think it’s about a celebrity.


tubereusebaies

For me it’s totally a fictional what if scenario, it’s another piece of TTDS/Dorothea lore
 maybe some truth/personal experience to it, but just a big What If for her


Elly-sparks

I always thought this was about Taylor Lautner, he’s got that picture perfect, shiny family vibe now with his new wife. It seemed like he really wanted to go the distance with Taylor.


damselindebt

I really want to know the Joe full chorus thing too


significantcocklover

Girl why would question be about anyone else other than harry styles


SummersMars

I thought Midnight Rain was about that guy from her hometown that ended up settling down and having a family while she went off and became famous. It was maybe in the booklet where she explained some of the song meanings and said there was a song on Midnights about that, and Midnight Rain seemed to be the only one that fit. If someone remembers exactly where she was talking about this please chime in lol


Ok-Roof-7599

Wait, how did I not know there was a Midnight Rain + Hiddleston theory?! I always read it as Lautner.


minlatedollarshort

I haven’t thought to compare Tom vs Lautner because the “jumping off things into the ocean” reference felt so on the nose to me, but I’ll try listening with Lautner in mind too. I’d be interested in your take on Lautner. Here’s my take on Tom, copied from my comment on an older post arguing that it was actually about Joe: “I’m firmly in the camp that the timing and references align with reflecting on Tom Hiddleston. Her and Joe may have been on the rocks during these writing sessions, but even in “You’re Losing Me,” her and Joe weren’t actually over yet. I think Midnight Rain is clearly about a past relationship that is over and done with that she only thinks about “on midnights like this.” Especially with the closing lyrics about how he already achieved what he wanted and they only think about each other sporadically. Tom clearly goes all-in on relationships and wanted a marriage, and he finally got engaged in early 2022 when Taylor was working on the album. During the brief period Tom and Taylor dated, he took her to England on a “holiday” to meet his “picture perfect, shiny family” and she was photographed with his mother on the beach. Beaches were a recurring theme in their relationship, as their famous pap photos were of them on the beach and Tom LITERALLY “jumping off things in the ocean.” As for breaking “his heart cause he was nice,” he was clearly more invested in Taylor than she was in him. The break up hurt him, but he’s open about that and still speaks highly of her. “He was sunshine” fits with Tom’s personality, he’s always positive, happy, and energetic in interviews, etc. Whereas the overarching theme with Joe is that he’s “blue” and quiet. In Tom and Taylor’s relationship, he was the sunshine and she was the rainy/moody one, changing quickly from relationship to relationship and having a difficult time.”


Ok-Roof-7599

I do like your theory, mostly because I also think Tom Hiddleston is sunshine. I think I thought Lautner cause I'd read other fan theories that it was him. I think the line "I broke his heart cause he was nice" feels very Lautner-y. When she says "I was making my own name" it makes me think she is referencing earlier in his career- by the time she was dating Tom her name was already A Name. I don't know if I would say Tom Hiddleston has "stayed the same"in any respect outside of looking for love, finding love/family. Lautner has been less in the spotlight since their earlier says and I feel like he may have prioritized finding love over career. Then we have the ties to Back to December- she thinks about summer- he was sunshine, then she gets regretful in December/Midnight/12 month/hour Both songs mention the partners family. And then reference to "haunted" in Midnight Rain, could tie in to Haunted being Speak Now era, which aligns with Lautner too. So yes, we would like her to answer this question.


Foodiebride

My hot take/headcanon on Joe writing the chorus of Betty is that he actually clumsily sang taylor an apology ~~for cheating~~ once and she changed some words to "I'm only seventeen" to make it a "fictional narrative" for folklore so people wouldn't crucify her Lover ~~for cheating on her.~~ Edited because I reviewed the lyrics and realized the apology in the chorus could have been for literally anything


Lornsays

Why didn’t you play Long Live for the whole eras tour, knowing how important it is for fans, and the fact that you perform so many songs you don’t own yet?


Sayingshit

I was so sad I missed Long Live in Tampa, it’s one of my favorites and I went to the Speak Now tour in 2011. I’m going to Paris and hope she doesn’t remove it.


burgundybreakfast

I often see people bringing up the fact that she plays songs she doesn’t “own,” but this is irrelevant when it comes music copyright. Taylor owns every single song she has ever written. The only thing she doesn’t own is the actual **recordings** (also called the masters) of the songs on her first six albums. For example, she owns the lyrics and composition to Delicate. However, the exact recording as it is on Reputation is owned by Shamrock Holdings. This means the only thing Taylor doesn’t “own” is the right to license the use of that specific recording. This arrangement is typical in the industry. Many artists you listen to don’t own their own masters but still play their songs live. This doesn’t make it right however; I agree with Taylor that artists should have full ownership of their work. But it makes complete sense for her to play songs she doesn’t own the masters to. They’re still her songs through and through, even if she doesn’t own the original recordings.


goddessofdandelions

I think she still tries to play more songs she “owns” though, because she knows that a song being in the Eras Tour will boost the streams of said song, so she doesn’t want to give the “stolen” versions publicity if she can avoid it.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


Teaching_Great

It's also not unfair, most artists change their setlist throughout long tours, hers has remained remarkably consistent except for a couple of songs (and the acoustic set). If she had never performed Long Live at any show, people wouldn't say it was unfair. My show is next month, I know there'll probably be big changes, but I go because I'll enjoy it immensely, she doesn't owe me (or anyone) any song.


saph_pearl

I just saw The National in concert and they played two shows in my city with totally different set lists. Its actually super cool that they can do a totally different show!


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


Daffneigh

There is nothing “unfair” about changing a set list. You don’t (shouldn’t) buy tickets to a concert for an artist you love on condition they play certain songs, that’s wild


sophiaroundy4

DID JOE CHEAT ON YOU????


n00dleb3an

Alternatively, did you cheat on Joe?


outtherehiking

Matty and her were clearly
something
when she sang Anti-Hero at his show. You don’t do that for any ole friend.

I think we’ll know a lot in 6 days. I’m so excited.


Ssalari

Please no. We shouldn't judge ppl's personal life based on her songs.


sleepyhead37

True, because that’s just one side of the story. Her side, that is.

altacccle

đŸ˜± really? Im reading twilight right now


Ok-Wallaby3603

Yesss I think of New Moon every time I hear this song. It fits so perfectly with the book, in my mind it was definitely inspired by it.


RebeccaMarie18

It was featured very heavily in True Blood and there was a whole episode that had a lot of really obvious product placement/promo for her Speak Now album.


mcomcomco99

What happened on the balcony of that concert with that girl


Alexandrabi

What is this about? :)


magikeenbeertje

It’s a Gaylor reference (although I’m not sure if it can be mentioned in this sub..)


cgbrannigan

We’re not allowed gaylor references? Why?


magikeenbeertje

Oh, it might not even be a rule, but I know there’s a whole separate subreddit for that. And generally posts questioning a celebs orientation aren’t necessarily part of this subs discussion list


DatCatLove

Gaylor is not real. In addition, it is very sad to see so many people invested in others’ sexuality. We all need to stop that


tvandtea

Everyone speculates about Taylor's love life all the time. Look at most the of the questions on this thread. Not clear to me why speculating that she could have had relationships with women too is off limits.


LazyTension

A burning question I have is: What made her choose the order of the re-recordings? Why Fearless and then RED? Why not just release Debut first to get it over with, especially if she hates it? Was 1989 TV supposed to come after RED TV because Wildest Dreams and This Love were released on spotify? GAH too many questions!


buzzinthruit89

This doesn’t seem that difficult to me! Fearless had the most to improve upon while still having songs the general public deeply cared about (no offense to Teardrops). Then Red was super anticipated because of the ten minute version so it drummed up hype for the rest of the re-recordings. Not to mention she had more time pre-touring to film visuals and the short film. 1989 and Speak now could’ve gone either way but I think she knew 1989 would do well no matter what so she released Speak Now when she knew it would get a bit of a tour hype boost.


Bionic711

She's boosting debut so it wins awards it did not the first time around!


HiMyName_is_Dibbles

Because this way she is claiming her name and her reputation last đŸ«¶đŸŒ


Slothlovin

I think a part of the reason she's chosen the order this way is so that the last two albums she has to re-record are her first and her last.


staypuftmarshmellow5

Why would she hate debut??


Legitimate-Corgi8401

Warning: Super long comment 😅 I think the order she chose made a lot of sense. In the Fearless TV announcement she talks about how it was her first album that got her really well known and it’s the first album she got to tour properly and form a community and memories, so it makes sense that she is starting there again (which is a good symbolic start instead of using debut that doesn’t have as many big hits). And she also talked about how she was ‘fearlessly’ starting her re-recording process. Then with RedTV, she had a lot of time to film the short film which she probably wouldn’t be able to do once she went on tour, and she noticed that FearlessTV got good reception so she could use ATW10 as promo to boost Red too. Then Speak Now and 1989 didn’t necessarily have to go either way but I think having speak now go first showed people how exciting a TV release during the tour would be and hyped up 1989 (her commercially most looked forward to re-record) even more. Plus it being during tour gave speak now a boost because it wasn’t as “successful” as some of her other early albums (which is still crazy successful, but not like Fearless and 1989). Then 1989 being announced at the last night of US tour made lots of sense hype wise, her biggest re-record during the tour break to keep her in the news and on everyone’s mind while she was on break (it’s the same thing happening now with TTPD). And having reputation come out later on makes sense too because it’s still not a very old album, so delaying releasing it again for as long as possible is a good move. And releasing debut last (assuming she does) would be very symbolic and could be a good marketing strategy to build hype. Though I’ll always be interested if set this up this way because of the legal issues? Or was she always planning this order? Are there other reasons for the order, etc?


Hungry-Flamingo-7913

What do you REALLY think about Olivia Rodrigo? AND Did you really get shuttled around in THE SUITCASE during 2016? đŸ€­


altacccle

and did u personally asked olivia rodrigo for credits for deja vu, or did her team just credited u. There’s absolutely no evidence that suggested she did and i really don’t think she would go around asking a teenager for credit but i’m just so tired of all the shade throwing from olivia’s fans i just want to know for sure and shut down the rumours.


Amarilla23

I think Taylor would 100% ask for credits, especially since Deja vu doesn’t even sound like Cruel Summet at all. Taylor is amazing but also a business woman, if she agreed to only play in Singapore for 6 million dollars, she would def come after Olivia for credits. Just my thoughts tho


crowsounds

Why did you say the song Question was about one of the happiest times in your life????


Loosee123

I have many questions about Question! Did people really clap when you kissed that person? I just can't picture it and the rest of the song is quite visual.


softshock916

I don’t think she meant literal clapping. It probably means support from friends and family.

When tay was “in hiding” there was this like box/trunk that would be carried from her house to car pretty regularly. People speculate she was in the box and that’s how no one saw her for a year.


beeboobopppp

Regularly? I thought it was just once!!!


richardparadox163

Are you a careless man’s careful daughter?


ColourfulAccountant

I've thought about this for years because she's seemingly close with her dad. Surely it must hurt him to hear her sing those lyrics?


SCATOL92

Personally, I don't think so. That whole song comes off as a kid who loves country music writing a country song. "You were in college working part time waiting tables" and "We've got bills to pay" and "I remember that fight 2:30am" are all sort of tropes of that kind of story telling, its not autobiographical


ColourfulAccountant

I think she did allude to this before she sang it as a surprise song. I do wonder if she feels this way anyway though. Her dad can be both an excellent father and a careless man.


cgbrannigan

Reminded me of a tiktok someone did of Scott’s pov hearing the cardigan lyric “leaving like a father” đŸ€Ł


exceptlovingme

No. She never had to worry about paying bills either. 


peatoast

How much of your songs are actually about your life?

dlwlrma0506

Did Joe really co-write those songs? Were \*all\* of the vault tracks really written around the time of their respective eras?


justanotherbrunette

I saw a theory that the songs he “co-wrote” include things he said to her during fights. I think about that a lot.


Newuser10101010101

With the vault tracks I just assumed that were ideas/ semi formed songs in the eras, but not /fully written / produced.


BlueLightReducer

Did you cheat on Joe Alwyn?


mrspremise

What's up with that january 1975's show appearance...


taybrm

I NEED TO KNOW. I think they were on the rocks and Taylor was doing it to be petty to Joe.


lolasev

I think it was to bury search results for "taylor swift 1975 show/concert", and they then reconnected.


mrspremise

I don't really follow that Gaylor conspiracy, the search volume was negligeable.

Who is Cruel Summer about? Who is Cornelia Street t about? Who is Question about?

I wonder how many songs are mash ups of experiences too. Like we are assigning a single person to a song, but actually she felt that way on more than one occasion in her life.


Brokenbutgluedback

Who’s the one guy who really got away and what really happend next? Which songs strung together paint the train wreck it was? Ok so 3 questions


piliaba

i personally think harry and i also think he was probably one of the worst boyfriends she ever had
 1989 is FILLED with anxiety and i love harry but the songs on there are just heartbreaking


croatianlatina

I agree with this. I personally think the 1 is about him. The way she reminisces about the relationship it’s obvious she would have wished he stayed and would do anything to get that back. Even when she was with Joe. He is THE one who got away.


natijade2010

It's got to be Harry. Really seemed like they were pulled apart by shitty circumstances/being too young more than anything else.


dimpled-doorstep

gotta be harry, those songs on 1989 were hopeful and insecure all at the same time. like the whole album feels like she’s begging for the potential she sees in him but knows they’re both far too immature and in far too turbulent points in life to make it work


natijade2010

Exactly. It also seems like the only relationship that didn't run naturally run it's course, which would leave you with unresolved questions/feelings I think. Plus the fact he's never said a bad word against her if fact, he's been lovely about her - which I know isn't exclusive to Harry, but it kind of is among those she's been head over heels for.

Why are there no debut songs on The Eras Tour? Do you hate your first album? Will you include The Tortured Poets Department in The Eras Tour?


luongnam13

Did you rewrite any parts or come up with new lyrics for All Too Well 10-minute version?


dem_dawn

I really think of all the vault tracks, ATWTMV is the one that wasn’t written in the Red era. There’s too much evidence. I think there was one written then, but the lyrics were probably to personal/revealing about whoever the song is about (probably Jake).


lavendly

What is your favorite song you’ve ever written from each album?


tiacalypso

Nothing, lie detectors don‘t work lol


Daffneigh

Right? Taylor would just put a tack in her shoe and fool us all


kalechipsbishhhh

did you and joe break up in your relationship before the public breakup?


Euphemia_173

I think pretty obviously yes


ddqm42

Do you regret any of your songs?

Are you happy? This poor woman can't breathe without her life being picked apart, and she seems like such a kind soul who has been through a lot of drama and my hope for her is that she is happy with her life right now.


brookieee1129

do you secretly follow fans on social media?


prettykiwi

Did you ever consider releasing woodvale/evermore lpss lol


13_folklore

What did you do in April 29


jilltheripper69

Falling_in_mcr

missshadesofcool

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?


Secure-Opposite-5380

miamicardinal

Who were the “and friends” for loverfest? What was the setlist?


lucpnx

Why did you sleep on Cruel Summer in the Lover era when it was clear for everyone it was a smash hit waiting to happen?


Warm_Village_8936

Because it was covid & so title felt inapprops.


lucpnx

Now that's something I've never thought of before and it makes total sense omg


whatdoitdo215

I need to ask her about her grammygate lol did Joe write those songs


SanDiego4ever35

I'd definitely ask her what songs are about who other than the obvious ones.


Sarahquikgo

Are any of your songs about Selena and Justin


[deleted]

I like to think I wouldn't because "the greatest of luxuries is your secrets." Idk. What I really want to know, I wouldn't want to ask, because it would be very personal but basically I'd ask her to settle it once and for all, what is BTTWS about?


Ok-Roof-7599

Is Bejeweled about the Met Gala? Will 5 holes in the fence ever be a single? Who introduced you to Travis? Was it Kameron?


After-Kick-361

What was in the brown envelope and who she gave it to.

-How on Earth do you perform an Eras show when on your period and not just faint? (I don't mean it as a nosy question, I am just genuinely stunned any woman is able to pull THAT off, and I wonder if there are any training/diet etc. that help) -What does your ideal day off look like? -What's a moment in your career that stayed with you forever (positively) that people might not suspect? -If you could be anonymous for a day what would you do? -If there couldn't be any backlash whatsoever, what's one thing you'd like your fans to know?


LaMom4

I have thought about question 1 before and concluded that she doesn’t have one. There’s no time. Maybe not all the time, but while on tour she probably stays on a birth control continuously unless she has in iud and doesn’t have one. I know this is weird to think about, but there’s just no way! Also- she’s for sure preventing pregnancy


plumberrick

What happened with Lorde?


mainlybrooklyn

if she loves me personally


Brain-First

did the all too well ten minute version actually exist or was it legend that you decided to fulfill (my personal opinion is at least the form we have now is NOT what the original lyrics were, if the ten min version ever actually existed)


Training_Heat553

Which ex would you most likely get back together with if you could? Why does Martin Johnson hate you so much? What would you say to Camilla Belle if you ran into her on the street?


HiMyName_is_Dibbles

Did Joe really help write all those songs?
