'tis the damn season' is Taylor Swift's ode to reconnecting with an old flame over the holidays. This is a song of heading back to your hometown and finding the passion you once shared. As she sings, "I'm staying at my parents' house/ And the road not taken looks real good now/ And it always leads to you in my hometown," we see that she is drawn to this person because of their shared history. Even if you run away from your hometown, you can still find your way home and take the road not taken. This is the person who knows the true you as the "only soul who can tell which smiles I', fakin'," and while it may only be for the weekend, it is still worth it to be with the person in your hometown. Swift here helps us all to remember our hometown during this holiday season and remember fondly our loved ones there, particularly our old flame that may or may not still be single.
