I TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM AND LISTENED TO REPUTATION
Yes- I got a bootleg and no I will not say where from or link it since the Swifties are going to be busting blood vessels that I heard I already. Â
These are my thoughts and opinions; I am not stating anything as fact ok, lawyers?
Now- I heard a lot of lines of shade at Tom but I feel like one song is actually about him- Getaway Car and another lumps him a Calvin together-I Did Something Bad.
It was the best of times the worst of crimes
Struck a match and blew your mind, but I didnât mean it, and you didnât see it
The ties were black but the lies were white with shades of gray in candlelight
I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason.
X marks the spot where we fell apart, he poisoned the well, I was lying to myself
I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed we never had a shotgun shot in the dark
You were driving the getaway car, we were flying but we didnât get far
Donât pretend itâs such a mystery, think about the place you first met me.
Riding in a getway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart, should have known Iâd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
In a getway car, no they never get far, nothing good starts in a getaway car (sometimes is geddaway and other times she hits the hard T)
It was a great escape, a prison break, the light of freedom on my face but you werenât thinking (pronounced WER- ENT), and I was just drinking
Well he was running after us I was screaming go, go, go but with the three of us honey is a side show
and a circus ainât a love story and now weâre both sorry.

We were (some word I donât understand in her breathy non-singing bullshit style), Bonnie and Clyde, until I switched to the other side ( to the other side) Itâs not surprise I turned you in, cause us traitors never win.
I was driving in a getaway car
I was crying in a getaway car
I was dying in a getaway car
Said goodbye in a getaway car.
So there you go people, she absolutely used him as a distraction from the Calvin drama and had ZERO feeling for him. She just needed a âdriverâ. And of course she blaming him (donât be surprised) and donât think that âwe both sorryâ is some kind of apology. Sheâs only sorry it made her look bad.
I never trust a narcissist â but they love me (because they can see their OWN KIND)
So I play him like a violin and I make it look OH SO EASY.
I can feel the flames on my skin, crimson red paint on my lips
If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing, I donât regret it one bit cause he had it coming
They said I didnât something bad, but whyâs it feel so good
Most fun I ever had and Iâd do it over and over and over again if I could
I never trust a playboy, but they love me, so I fly them all around the world and let them think they saved meâŚ
They never see it coming, what I do next- this is how the world works, you gotta leave before you get left.
I can feel the flames on my skin, he says donât throw away a good thing, but if he drops my name then I owe him nothinâ, and if he spends my change then he had it coming.
They said I didnât something bad, but whyâs it feel so good

They are burning all the witches even if you arenât one
They got their pitchforks and proof, receipts and reasons
So light me UP, go ahead and light me UP
So clearly the first verse is Calvin and the second is Tom. I would love to light you up BITCH.
âThis is why we canât have niceâŚâŚ.thingsâ (thatâs how she sings it, with this huge pause) sounds exactly like a Lorde song and it either to Karlie or Katy or some friend she thinks had done her wrong. Real original.
End Game is a dumpster fire (both she and Ed Sheeran attempt to ârapâ)
Dress-âI only bought this dress so you can take it offâ is the super sexy lyric her family couldnât listen to â a song in which the chorus include the line- âI donât want you like a best friendâ which is ODD- itâs supposed to be about sex? You wouldnât know except she attempts this breathy moan that sounds like a trapped seal.
King of My Heart includes the lyric- âAll the boys in their fancy cars, Range Rovers and JagUars (which she says in an emphasized British way) never took me quite where you do.â Â Can I assume Calvin has a Range Rover?
Donât Blame Me and any of the rest are unlistenable. Â I wonât even bother.
Iâm guessing King of My Heart is the video she shot in London so that will be next. Â
Overall- crappy pop that she tries to make edgy with strange, loud, blaring instrumentation and over-produced vocals that are breathy yet high pitched in the most annoying way.
In the end, shockingly, she was kind of honest about Tom- she used him and left him before he could leave her and he should have known.
