Guessing Game: Which Celebrities Are the Surprising Stars of Taylor Swift’s Songs?
Foolish One (Speak Now [Taylor’s Version], 2023)
Who was it about: John Mayer
Lyrics: “Foolish one… Stop checkin’ your mailbox for confessions of love… That ain’t never gonna come…You will take the long way, you will take the long way down.”
Story behind the lyrics: In this heart-tugging tune, Taylor takes us on a journey through the rollercoaster of unrequited love. Taylor, an innocent teenager, was hopeful yet heartbroken, holding onto the thin thread of a possibility that John might just realize what he was missing. But as the song unfolds, it becomes clear that this wait is more of a fantasy than a future reality. She dubs herself the “foolish one,” a title that speaks volumes of her realization that pining for an uncommitted man is like chasing shadows.
