Taylor: Dare

Lawyer: I dare you to tell me who killed Este's husband

Taylor: ... Truth

Lawyer: Did you kill Este's husband?

Once upon a time there was reputation.

During that era, Taylor stressed the idea that her public image, what was said about her, her Brand Recognition was loud. So loud that it obscured who she really is.

Even if sometimes what she feels is all over her face.

She is alone, surrounded by a lot of empty space on that cover.

She also made the very clear silent statement that, if I choose to, just like everyone can, you only see of me what I want you to see.

I can disappear for months at a time, even though I have fans and gossip rags craving to get the scoop on anything.

I will pick and chose what is public. I will protect my private life.

And it is in my control to let you see me be vulnerable.

I will show you the side of me that I want.

In case you missed it. Those are themes are are still visually very present during the Lover era.

She presents herself alone, surrounded by a lot of empty space.

She is in control, as she lets you see her be vulnerable.

She shows you, literally, the side of her that she wants.

To hammer it in one last time. This is how she chose to sing and release The Man, live.
