    "There seems to be historical basis for this track, which to appears to be a fictive reimagining of the life of Rebekah Harkness. Harkness, who went by Betty Harkness, owned the Holiday House, a mansion in Watch Hill, Rhode Island that Swift now owns. Harkness’s marriage to an oil tycoon made her one of the wealthiest women in America during her lifetime, which was punctuated with wild antics and famous stories."

    I want to take the time to cherish these wonderful moments where Taylor doesn't just tell stories about her life but the stories of the people that she feels connected with too. The bridge was exquisitely made, well written and made like a diamond. I've always love Taylor's bridges, I feel quite sad thinking that bridges are slowly disappearing from new songs. I hope more artists continue writing bridges.

She did a lot of wild, fun, improper things. She gor a new car and a new job. She moved away from that old town shamelessly. She had a marvelous time ruining everything. People still talk about her.

    This feels like the ype of song you'd listen after crying. Not while crying and not a "im pulling myself together" hyped up song just a song to feel mellow too. Like making yourself a healthy snack after eating fast-food for 5 weeks. Or taking a walk when your big party plans get ruined. Catchy but calm, melancholic but optimistic nice!
