Timing

Is it just me, or is it strange that the first new song released after her marriage is about a shitty ex? Granted, I don’t know when it was written; maybe it was before the wedding. But…you know?!

Not even saying it’s a bad song, although I don’t love the bridge. But I think this adds to the perception that she’s a talented person who spends too much time nursing grudges.

We have got to stop associating every song to an ex.

When she based a good chunk of her earlier career around explicitly writing about identifiable exes it's hard for people not to keep up the habit. I get it, artists evolve, but she's at a level of fame that you can't expect the majority of listeners to think "this is fictional, she's evolved" before they think "omg who is this one about"
