Are You "Ready for It"? Taylor Swift's Hot Single Analyzed

Enough is enough, here is a full analysis on Taylor Swift's hottest new single - and I mean, it. Is. Hot. - Swift first dropped her debut "Look What You Made Me Do" to introduce her newest, and possibly best, album titled, Reputation.

Reputation opens with the line, "Knew he was killer first time I saw him"; obviously, this can reference anyone, but out of all of her exes who was the one who continuously broke hearts? There are two evident suspects: Harry Styles and Joe Alwyn, but then again, why would she be singing negatively about her current beau? There are many questions and thoughts to ponder over, so let's go deeper.

We all know that Styles is a heartthrob and he seems to break many hearts, but so does Swift, so could it be safe to assume that this is perhaps Taylor Swift's own reputation, but in a male's perspective? I think we can take Joe Alwyn off the table, because he is her current boyfriend, and nonetheless, it would be odd to sing negatively about a current boyfriend.

Swift and Styles had an interesting romance, although it was short lived, it still does not live up to Taylor squared. Anyhow, in her following line, "But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom", I believe she is responding to Styles' song "Two Ghost's". This is more than likely her calling Styles out saying that she could hold him for leading women on and dumping them before he dives too far in.

The song goes on from there, with small, hidden messages that throw out clues from their island getaway back in early 2013, to encounters with the press on Styles breaking hearts and leaving the victim on the ground. Swift's new single is one for the books, and this should also be one to not only annotate and decipher meaning, but to enjoy the story.

Swift's titled album, Reputation, will be released November 10, 2017.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
