Guessing Game: Which Celebrities Are the Surprising Stars of Taylor Swift’s Songs?
Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve (Midnights, 2022)
Who was it about: John Mayer
Lyrics: “If clarity’s in death, then why won’t this die?… Years of tearing down our banners, you and I… Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts… Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first”
