Taylor Swift is a young, talented, and famous pop star. And she's not afraid to change the game in her industry (though it sounds pretty stupid). She made country music more popular by blending it with pop, something that no one had ever done before.
Her songs are a testament to her talent and versatility, but they also reveal the kind of sensitivity she can bring to the table. She has a penchant for exploring the dark side of love and romance, as well as a willingness to confront sex stereotypes in a way that's unique in pop history.
She's also one of the most outspoken LGBTQ artists of her generation, dropping hints about her own sexuality before coming out publicly. She's made her queer identity clear in many of her lyrics, and her songs often reflect her own experiences as a gay woman.
This song is from her 2020 album, Evermore, and it's a country tune with a folk aesthetic. It's the eleventh track on the project, and it features background vocals from Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons.
The singer's lyrics are all about love and risking it, even when you're told that it is dangerous and a gamble. And she also mentions that it will probably end badly.
The song is about two con artists who fall in love but have to leave their life of swindling to be together. It's an interesting twist on a common pop song and a great example of how Swift takes her country music to another level on her ninth album. And it's a song that fans will probably be listening to again and again.
