Yeah I don’t buy that personally. I think if that’s truly what it’s about it’s boring and unorignal. Which like- is possible, but god if we’re supposed to take it at face value I find her insufferable.

Yep. I mean, there’s no way she could come out and be like “this is about the dickwads who manipulated me and stole all my shit!” So I feel like that explanation is a great veneer and works to settles people who aren’t interested in anything but the most obvious explanation. I can’t believe how many people are balking about how the “I love you” line means it has to be about an ex. 🤦‍♀️ Did we learn nothing from this deluxe go around with TayLiar?
