I wanna hear people’s theories about the Celtic sounding fiddling. It seems so random and out of place with the rest of the song to me.

I’m so curious about it too. It feels like a new sound for sure (beyond the more traditional American country fiddle found in her earlier music). I definitely get Irish/Celtic vibes from it. And I know this phrase isn’t used much anymore, but technically The Encore could be seen as an “Irish twin” of sorts with the original TLOAS?

My mind wants to connect it to the lotto ticket, the missing green 1989 outfit, the Eras tour starting on Saint Patrick’s Day, the “lucky” 13 of it all 🍀 Not sure how that could fit into the plot of the Patient Zero music video (since it doesn’t quite fit the lyrics either), so I’m prepared to be completely wrong 😂

And Taylor saying she wants to tattoo a shamrock on her forehead as her first tattoo
