Guessing Game: Which Celebrities Are the Surprising Stars of Taylor Swift’s Songs?
Long Story Short (evermore, 2020)
Who was it about: Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
Lyrics: “Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things… Your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing.”
Story behind the lyrics: “long story short” is Taylor’s lyrical letter to her younger self, filled with wit and wisdom from the future. Imagine a time machine in the form of a song, where Taylor zips back to give her past self some sage advice: don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s like she’s winking at her younger version, saying, “Hey, those big bad nemeses? They’ll fizzle out on their own!” This song taps right into the heart of her infamous tussle with Kanye and Kim, but it’s all about rising above with a smile.
