Taylor Swift’s fans usually take her lead, so her silence about Joe Alwyn has mostly helped the actor escape the scorn of her fans. However, the release of Swift’s tracklist appears to be shifting the tides — and not in Alwyn’s favor. One fan, for example, seems to think that Swift’s song, “Fresh Out The Slammer,” could be her way of expressing feeling trapped in her relationship with Alwyn. “Taylor saying ‘he can be my jailer’ in 2018, then saying ‘me locking myself away in my house for years — I’ll never get that time back’ in the TIME issue a few months back after the breakup, and now releasing a song called ‘fresh out the slammer’….. it’s over it’s so over,” tweeted the Swiftie.
Another fan believes that Swift’s track, “But Daddy I Love Him,” is about more than just a woman looking for romantic approval from an overprotective father. Instead, they think that Swift took inspiration from “The Little Mermaid” to convey a very depressing message. “And the phrase ‘But Daddy I Love Him’ is from the Little Mermaid in which Ariel loses her voice,” wrote one fan on Reddit. “I’m sensing that perhaps feeling silenced about her relationship with Joe due to his intense need for privacy was one of the ways she felt [tortured].” Then there’s the unfortunate similarities between Swift and actor Clara Bow, whom she named one track after. As detailed in the thread, both starlets were forced to juggle love and fame amid personal struggles.
Wow, deep stuff!
