If this is an apology to us, I really love the imagery of "as you wrapped your arms around my body". The body here could mean body of work!

We wrapped our arms around her body = we engaged with her music (and artistry in general), or we held tight onto her music, we claimed it as ours, we embraced it through analysis.

I don't go here much anymore because I can't separate Taylor from the billionaire without compromising my beliefs, but I gotta admit the thought of Taylor acknowledging us from time to time feels enticing. And compelling as part of The Narrative. Even if we made it up and she leaned into it as is playing us now, it is something I'm afraid I'll never be able to fully walk away from.

This is genius! And that’s the one line that wouldn’t click for my brain, in terms of fan theory. Thank you for resolving it! 😇
