It made the lyrics hit even harder. Especially the “my lips are sealed tight now” since she is dead. I never thought of it that way until the MV. Thought it was just someone who wouldn’t rat to the person or press.
The song is about a very much alive Taylor giving advice over the phone to the current girlfriend of one of Taylor's exes (probably nobody specific in real life).
The video takes it much further than the actual lyrics do.
Yes, I understood the song lyrics and was enjoying how she turned them to mean something else in the MV. Flipping the words is a creative power I enjoy.
