This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Is it me or my imagination?
I feel uneasy with this crazy situation.
And nobody knows where its leading to next,
All we can do is hope for the best.
These kind of thing only happen in the movies,
Its all fools gold all your diamonds and your rubies.
Theres no more books so lets write a new story,
Of passion and Joy and looking for glory.
Everywhere that you go,
Im coming too,
Anywhere that you lead,
I'll follow you...
Gotta feeling we,
That were gonna be alright,
I know that it will...
Anything that you want,
I'll see it through,
Anyplace that you’ve seen,
I'll be there too,
Gotta feeling we,
That were gonna be alright,
Alright...
Weve been full circle we’ve gone round and round,
The twists and turns all the up and downs.
We can get what we want if we just understand,
Everything we do is in our hands.
Gotta get ahead find a new solution,
Work together that’s our resolution.
Gotta be one voice that’s on the attack,
We gotta go forward never look back.
Everywhere that you go,
Im coming too,
Anywhere that you lead,
ill follow you,
Gotta feeling we,
That were gonna be alright,
I know that it will...
Anything that you want,
Ill see it through,
Anyplace that you’ve seen,
ill be there too,
Gotta feeling we,
That were gonna be alright,
Alright...

This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
