“You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor”: Swift has hinted at infidelity in many of her songs rumored to be about Styles, namely the cheekily-titled “Style” - “I heard that you’ve been out and about with some other girl.”.“Once the flight had flown”: An apparent reference to Swift and Styles’ paper airplane necklaces.“Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door”: Water is a recurring theme throughout 1989, from “This Love” (“Clear blue water/ High tide came and brought you in”) to “Clean” (“Rain came pouring down/ When I was drowning, that’s when I could finally breathe”).“When you told me we’d get back together”: A possible reference to “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”.“I am standin’ in a 1950s gymnasium”: This line parallels Folklore‘s “Betty” –“Your favorite song was playing/ From the far side of the gym.”.“You’d be more than a chapter in my old diaries”: Given that Swift has shared she’s kept dozens of diaries over the course of her life and even released pages from a few of them to promote Lover in 2019, this line probably isn’t merely a metaphor.This stands in contrast to someone like, say, Jake Gyllenhaal, who is also a Sagittarius and is rumored to have inspired the “State of Grace” lyric “Twin fire signs, four blue eyes.” “I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs/ Would surprise the whole school”: Swift and Styles have differing Zodiac signs - Sagittarius and Aquarius, respectively.“I swore off hanging out with guys, dating, flirting or anything that could be weaponized against me by a culture that claimed to believe in liberating women but consistently treated me with the harsh moral codes of the Victorian Era,” she writes in the 1989 (Taylor’s Version) prologue. “And the only way back to my dignity/ Was to turn into a shrouded mystery”: This feels like an allusion to Swift’s self-admitted attempt to shake off media scrutiny into her love life.
