<aside> 👸 Relevance to Taylor’s Life: Taylor explained her relationship with her previous albums/eras/selves in an interview with Entertainment Weekly when Folklore was released: “I have this weird thing where, in order to create the next thing, I attack the previous thing. I don't love that I do that, but it is the thing that has kept me pivoting to another world every time I make an album. But with this one, I still love it.”

LWYMMD MV

her arms are outstretched like a crucifix, the cross made out of the “T” of her name, potentially representing her brand and how she’s had to sacrifice/kill all her past selves. Could also represent how she’s willing to sacrifice her reputation to live her truth i.e. “I would fall from grace just to touch your face”
