One of Taylor Swift’s new songs “closure” is about shutting down exes who come guiltily crawling back

Those last lines. Muah, chefs kiss.

Closure happens when the relationship ends, not months later. Men who seek “closure” long after the relationship has been done are trying to validate themselves, get attention, manipulate you, or fix their reputation because “they made a mistake” or some other bullshit.

She leveled up in terms of her lyrics.

They only ever come back for one of two reason: so you can make them feel better for abusing you, or for sex.

Edit: also for ego stroke and reputation repair like others said.

All selfish motivations.

Forever my queen, I grow up with her music and now listening to all the new songs w a new lens of maturity is incredible. If a man talk shit I dont owe him nothing. Like how can you not relate to music like this.

I'm not really a fan of hers but I LOVE the amount of growth in her songs. She started out very "pick me/ I'm not like other girls" and grew so much to creating music like this.

Taylor Swift has come far since "sHe wEaRS ShORt sKiRts. I wEaR T-sHiRts. sHe'S ChEer cApTaiN AnD i'm oN tHe bLeAChErS" And you'd say of course she has, she's an adult now. But I've met too many women who are perpetually a high school pickme so I'm grateful for all visible feminist growth. She's been killing it as a role model for younger girls these past few years.

I also love Tolerate it, it's basically about a Pick Me who describes being in a relationship with someone she has to chase and try to please while he just tolerates her, and through the song she starts calling him out and waking up to the fact that this is a toxic dinamic. It doesn't quite get t the satisfying ending of her leaving him, but the bridge shows the growth of this woman who is starting to realize she deserves better and tells him she could leave and do better. Hopefully many women will listen to that song and get to that revelation themselves

YES! FDS was the first thing I thought of when I listened to it, I'm so glad you posted

Oh my gooood this happened to me two weeks ago!! Yes, I hear what you’re saying, but I’m fine, and I don’t need to talk cuz “closure” means nothing to me 👋🏼💁🏻‍♀️

This is so beautiful. “It cut deep to know ya” resonates hard for me.

Gotta hand it to Taylor. She’s literally the subject matter expert in picking LVM and writing guides to getting over them in songs.

Honestly can't stand her or her music. But these last two albums are good! She really has changed.
