Let’s talk TTPD and Jiara, ‘kay?

I know I’m not the only one who’s noticed some really heavy Kie/JJ/Jiara vibes on Taylor’s new album. So thought it’s time to put pen to metaphorical paper and dive in.

🎵Song

Guilty as Sin?

💿Track number

9

👫Whose vibes are we picking up on?

Honestly, both

💕Lyric loves

“What if the way you hold me is actually what’s holy?”

“I keep these longings locked / In lowercase inside a vault”

“I'm seeing visions, am I bad? / Or mad? Or wise?”

✍️WellIsntThatInteresting’s take

Although I think it’s generally agreed this song is about cheating/a hypothetical affair (or is that just my interpretation?), I think Guilt = JJ for having feelings for someone he thinks is too good for him. And Sin = Kie carrying the burden of this new-ish truth about her friend JJ .

15/10 recommend, my fave song on the album.

Please sound off - what are your fave lyrics in Guilty as Sin? Should we explore more songs on the album?

I gotta say, as I was preparing to post this song came out of nowhere. But it’s kinda perfect…

🎵Song

Fresh Out The Slammer

💿Track number

7

👫Whose vibes are we picking up on?

Kiara/Jiara season 3 vibes, with Kie being on lockdown in various ways (Singh, parents, Kittyhawk)

💕Lyric loves

“Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you / Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to”

“All those nights you kept me going / Swirled you into all of my poems / Now we're at the starting line, I did my time”

“And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway / Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake”

✍️Wellisntthatinteresting’s take

Color me surprised that a song with “slammer” in the title isn’t all about JJ. But here we are. The proverbial slammer can be interpreted in the traditional sense (how many times was Kie held against her will in S3 again?🤔). But almost as important, Kiara and JJ are prisoners of their own inner demons and thoughts, which is why the burn in S3 is so painfully slow as actions catch up with thoughts and feelings.

8/10 This one is another slow burner but with more listens, really becomes a solid track. The breathiness in the vocals evokes a sense of longing that I think works really well in the context of Jiara.
