Apparently this song is supposed to be a “clap back” to Charli XCX. Honestly it’s just giving mean girl vibes. I’m so sad- I thought Tay would be better than petty girl drama :( I was hoping for a poetic masterpiece about like- what a healthy relationship is supposed to be- not a maliciously passive aggressive diss piece. 🥲

yes, the song is about her insecurities, but “i hope they break up” ?? plus, there’s so much more history, i.e. when charli opened for taylor swift she mocked it saying it was like performing to five year olds, her promo included a severed hand with a friendship bracelet, and it seems like a lott more was going on backstage. plus this song barely references charli, other than the fact that she uses coke, it seems like a song for everyone obsessed with her
