This song is actually one of my favorites of hers. It’s so alarmingly different than anything Taylor has ever done before. It has excellent lyrics, beautiful melody for the chorus, and it’s very aggressive energy just catches your attention and makes you listen. One of the best album openers I have ever heard.
