It’s so good bc she does the thing where she introduces a symbol/motif at the beginning and then gives it a whole new meaning that changes the song
“I left my scarf there” // “but you keep my old scarf”
“You’re on your own kid you always have been” // “you’re on your own kid you can face this”
“When you think Tim McGraw” // “there’s a letter … and the first thing that you’ll read is when you think Tim McGraw”
“The girl in the dress cried the whole way home. I should’ve known.” // “the girl in the dress wrote you a song. You should’ve known”
So when she says “went to my parents and they came around” after “dutiful daughter all my plans were laid” and “BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM” it almost feels like rewarding bc of the journey we’ve gone thru on the song. I’m saying there will never be a Taylor song better than BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM it’s always been the one.
