Lover Analysis Part XIII- "I Forgot that You Existed"
Added 2022-04-01 23:56:50 +0000 UTCI discuss Taylor's use of diction, repetition, symbolism, and allusion in this Lover bop! I also partake in some light (just for fun) speculation regarding the vague pronoun "you".

2022-04-09 20:50:13 +0000 UTCI literally heard βwereβ in some parts as well! Whenever Iβm thinking of the song I picture her saying βIf I were a man, then Iβd be the man.β I guess I was autocorrecting her in my brain as well lol!
2022-04-09 05:24:34 +0000 UTCHaha, I definitely think this is about him as well...at least in part!

2022-04-07 19:47:23 +0000 UTCI could see the whole video. I think like most of her songs it's probably about multiple things at once, but i think mostly about Calvin Harris. I know a lot of Swifties joke that he's the only one she didn't really write many songs about, so i love that this is the one we get π

2022-04-04 20:33:59 +0000 UTCJust joined Patreon hi! I've always believed this song was about Calvin Harris, it sounds like it's about an ex, and it's sonically very similar to his own music which I think could be on purpose. I went through an awful breakup 2 years ago, and when you go through that it's like every day you're bombarded by memories until one day you're not, and you've healed. And you don't even think about them at all. And it's the best <3

2022-04-04 20:10:15 +0000 UTCI always thought this song was about Kanye because he showed her who he is that night at the VMAs - but she still tried to make peace with him until she finally "this is why we can't have nice things"-ed him.
