What the artist means
On the 1 Taylor begins softly on this delicate beat. She's living her best life and talking about how she's doing her best shit and being quite happy. She sounds calm, relaxed and fresh on this break up song. She talks directly to an ex-lover and tries her best to show him all that he's missing. She says it would have been fun is he was the one, she's adventurous on this and decries her ex lover's cheating ways. The beat is so soft and melodic and at some point it drops and sensationalizes her voice into something quite amazing. This is a beautiful opening track and if the rest of the album sounds anything like this we are in for an awesome ride.
What the song means to me
The song is that classic badass break up song that I have been searching for all year long, it's production is lush and it shows off Taylor's enviable vocal range. The instrumental is lush and gives her an ambient environment to remind us why she's one of the biggest pop stars in modern history. It's quite the flex and an insanely great way to open a surprise album. Well done Ms. Swift. I will give this song a rating of 9/10.
