On August 25, 2017, Taylor Swift released the first single off of her sixth album "Reputation"entitled "Look What You Made Me Do." As a fan for many years of her works and seeing her in concert twice, I can say in fangirl language, "Unfollow Me Now This Is All I'm Going To Talk About For The Next Year." Yes, I love this song. I love how it's a change from 1989 to a style like this. I'm even listening to it now as I write this article along with a mix of some Panic! At the Disco songs.

However, I just wish now that we could just enjoy her music instead of wondering who the song was about now.

As I was scrolling through Twitter earlier today, I have been seeing many people say that this song was about Kanye West and how he and Kim Kardashian West illegally recorded their phone call. Along with that, I have been seeing how it's a reference to the similar beat of the Halloween party from Mean Girls (it's been a while since I've seen Mean Girls, though). What do I think of all of this? Stop it.

Ever since people started wondering what ex-boyfriend Taylor Swift wrote about in a breakup song, it's been taking away the real meaning of why she is an artist. She's an artist to make music, and people are just now associating her as the person who writes songs about ex-lovers. That doesn't seem fair to someone in her profession. Unless an artist straightforward says that a certain song is about a certain person, whether it's a lover, a former lover, or a family member, I don't think that it's fair to just straight up say that a song is about this person and stick with it.

Was "I Knew You Were Trouble" about Harry Styles? Is "You're Not Sorry" about Joe Jonas? I don't know, and I don't care. I like the songs anyway.

This doesn't just go for Taylor Swift, this goes for other artists in the music industry also. I've seen a bunch of tweets about people assuming a line in One Direction's "Perfect" was about Taylor Swift. If you don't know the line, it's "If you're looking for someone to write you break-up songs about, baby I'm perfect." None of the members explicitly said that it was about Taylor, yet people just assume they think they know something when it could not be the right thing.

Now if we look at a song like...let's use the song "Sarah Smiles" by Panic! At the Disco for this example because I was just listening to it. Brendon Urie said in an interview that the song was his favorite off the album "Vice & Virtues" because it was about his then girlfriend now wife Sarah. So there's an example of how an artist is clearing up the meaning of a song that they wrote.

So can we maybe try and just enjoy the music that an artist puts out and stop analyzing lyrics and wonder what the artist's motive is behind a song? I don't want this to feel like an English class and we're trying to nit pick out the tiny details. Music artists have their job because they want people to love their music.

Now, I'm going to go back to listening to Taylor's new song.
