“Florida!!!” (with Florence and the machine): What to do when you need to escape? Head to Florida. At least that’s what Taylor and Florence welch advise in this direction.
“You can beat the heat if you beat the accusations too/They said I was a cheater, I guess it must be true,” Taylor sings, referencing speculation about her personal life. “And my friends, they all smell like weed or little babies / And the city stinks is driving me crazy.”
“I need to forget, so take me to Florida,” the lyrics later continue. “I have regrets, I’m going to bury them in Florida.”
Taylor explained that the song was actually inspired by real-life escape-the-city crime sagas.
“I always look like Data line“People, you know, commit these crimes,” she told iHeart Radio. “Where do they immediately leave the city and go? They’re going to Florida, you know? They like to try to reinvent themselves, to have a new identity, to blend in with the crowd. And I think when you’re going through heartbreak, there’s a part of you that thinks, “I want a new name, I want a new life, I don’t.” I want someone to know where I’ve been or know me at all. And so that was the starting point: where would you go to reinvent yourself and blend in? Florida.”
“Guilty as sin?” »: In another apparent nod to Matty, Taylor begins “Guilty as Sin?” with the lyrics “Drowning in the Blue Nile / He sent me the lights of downtown.” Well, it turns out that in 2022, Matty named The Blue NileIt is Hats as one of his favorite albums of the 1980s.
