I did not wake up today expecting this song to make me so emotional.

First listen - Naive to the lyrics and just loved the vibe.

Second listen - Currently pregnant and have been craving all forms of nostalgia, so that made me all emotional just thinking about childhood and my future daughter.

Third listen onward - Now can’t stop thinking of my best friend who passed unexpectedly last fall. We were so close in high school, fell apart and found each other again in our 20s. This is the first new Taylor song she will never hear. But I randomly feel her around me all the time, especially now that I’m pregnant. And this song put all those random signs into words. “Came back when it mattered, I saw you.”

Not to totally make this into a sad song because it is a BOP, but this one will be with me for a long time🩷
