“this is me trying” is a song that offers insight into Swift’s new reality in the pandemic. Swift “…had the shiniest wheels, now they’re rusting”. What was once shiny and new is now old. Like the rest of us, Swift shows that she is just as over the pandemic as we are, but it is still ongoing. We cannot give up, but we are all fed up. We will continue to try and do our best, and at this point it is the best we all can do.
