Oh goddamn! This stunning song is one of Taylor's best examples of poetic imagery, storytelling, and escapism. We couldn't help but wonder if Taylor was projecting herself into the narrator's point of view, or if she was inspired by historical figures of years ago. It was also challenging to discern whether or not the narrator in this song is happy and relieved for the "ivy," or if she's cursing it. One thing was certain for the both of us: it's a deeply profound and absolutely beautiful song. So yeah, it's a fire, it's the goddamn song of our life and Taylor started it!
