Taylor literally told you everything in the bridge of this song three years ago and y’all just let it slide.
“With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover. My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue. All's well that ends well to end up with you.” - Lover
She starts out
“With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.”
She’s saying she’s choosing to take this person with every bit of baggage they have because she knows this person has done the same for her.
Then she says one of the best yet simplest word plays:
“My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue. All's well that ends well to end up with you.”
Why is it the best? Because you gift something borrowed and something blue to brides. So her heart is this person. And “yours” is her describing her heart which her person has. She’s literally saying my heart (my person) has been borrowed by someone else and it makes me blue. Said differently they have each others’ heart. So the possession describes the person.
We can also look at Cruel Summer where she again tells you she is the blue where she says “it’s blue this feeling I got”
To flesh it out further think of Paper Rings: “I’m with you even if it makes me blue.” Taylor’s the one who is blue.
She even says it in invisible string “Time, wondrous time gave me the blues and then purple pink skies.”
We can look at hoax drawing the same distinction with the following lyric: “You have beaten my heart. Don't want no other shade of blue but you. No other sadness in the world would do.” She is describing that she’s okay with this blue feeling because she loves this person who’s borrowed unconditionally.
We can even jump to evermore (the song) where she touches on this gray sky imagery that she uses to describe hoax in the Long pond studio sessions. She says “Gray November I've been down since July.” This is literally the follow up to Cruel Summer where as stated above she describes her feeling as blue. But she ends evermore with hope. She is enduring this and holding on to the feeling (the faith) that this won’t last forever.
I just love the Lover bridge.
Didn’t Karlie do a photoshoot recently where she’s stepping on a cloud or something? On cloud 9?
🤭☁️👀 (x)
Keep Swifties away from our precious Karlie.
I’m sending her so much love right now. They better be nice to her istg 😭
*thinks about the cabin in the Never Grow Up lyric video*
(And that’s just the most recent one.)
same energy (not really but kind of)
7 years into her career would take us to 2013, and it’s funny cause her relationship with harry ended in january of that year and then she was publicly single until 2015 ☕️
I took a pic of joe and well these aren’t his feet.
I saw that Met post you posted and I never saw that article of Karlie. So what’s the actual story because Karlie said that they did meet in 2011 and talked about baking at Met Gala but I thought they always went with the story that they met at VSFS. Did they talk at Met but then didn’t hang out again until VSFS?
Previous post + (Link to the article of Karlie mentioning meeting Tay at the Met)
That's what i'm curious about too anon! I'm not entirely sure why they pushed the narrative of officially meeting at the VSFS 2013. Maybe someday we'll know exactly why. Maybe their Met Gala 2011 meeting was not the right time bc one (or both) of them were already in a relationship.. maybe they did stay in contact and was friendly with each other even before VSFS. Iirc, there was a rep secret session thing where taylor talks about how her and "joe" got together? (Not sure if these are the exact screenshots, i just googled it quickly)
"Later on, they met up again but things turned romantic" - hence maybe why they emphasized on VSFS '13? 😊 I feel like Taylor was talking about her actual history with Karlie here. Joe has always been the Karlie stand-in, the fact that Toe's "first meeting" was at the Met??? Mimicking Kaylor's first actual (recorded) meeting at the Met Gala 2011? And then the "next time they met things turned romantic" mimicking Kaylor's "official" meeting at VSFS?? None of it was accidental.🤭
