Taylor Swift describes “Actually Romantic” in ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ theater event:
“‘Actually Romantic’ is a love letter to someone who hates you. Sometimes you don’t know that you’re a part of someone else’s story, but you are. And then it’s revealed to you through things they do, it’s very overt. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to be like, ‘oh my god, you’ve done so much with this.’ It’s flattering. I don’t hate you. I don’t think about this, but thank you for all the effort. Honestly, wow, that is very sweet of you that you think about it this much, even if it’s negative. In my industry, attention is attention, and you’re giving me a lot of it.”

You couldn’t pay me to be tuned in for an album made by an artist who i dislike profoundly let alone listen to leaks the second they come out. Some of yall be making it sooo obvious that you’re secret fans like at least try to be more discreet damn😭
