(Think 'I Knew You Were Trouble When You Walked In.') In fact, in an interview with Ryan Seacrest, (skip to 4:09) she agrees that this line is pivotal: 'I never would have said anything like that on a previous album!' In this song, she and her male counterpart seem to be having a serious adult-toned talk free of dramatic accusations. Swift's songs are notorious for blaming guys for messing up relationships. A video creator for AV Club even suggests this to be a significant maturing. If you're familiar with Swift's musical career, you know this is an important step for her. The male responds, 'What you've heard is true but I / Can't stop thinking about you,' to which T-Swift says, 'I've been there, too, a few times.' that you've been out and about with some other girl.' This statement is not accusatory it's merely conversational. Once the two finish their drive and return to Swift's home, the male character takes 'off his coat,' suggesting that he'll be there for a while and that they're settling down for a conversation or a sexual encounter. Taylor begins the talk by singing 'I heard. Based on their own preferences in the opposite gender, Swift believes they are perfectly matched they like each other's 'style' and they look good/work well together. No matter how often the two fail to form a strong relationship, they continue to be 'perfect for each other' in Taylor's and (presumably) his imaginations. You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt And when we go crashing down, we come back every time 'Cause we never go out of style We never go out of style You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye And I got that red lip classic thing that you like And when we go crashing down, we come back every time 'Cause we never go out of style We never go out of style Then the song amps up and launches into the catchy chorus that most Top-40 listeners will recognize: But she can't help but 'atch go 'round and 'round each time.' Swift knows that she should tell the fellow to leave and that they shouldn't try to make it work again. She and her male interest take a 'long drive' together, knowing they 'ould end in burning flames or paradise.' They've been apart for a while, and this trip seems to be unexpected for both of them. Taylor Swift begins by telling us that the relationship is in trouble. So, it's gold in the current pop music market.Īnd unlike some bands whose songs sound like relationship songs but aren't (think Mumford & Sons's 'The Wolf'), this one's actually about a relationship, a relationship that didn't work out.

It's catchy, edgy, serious, and about a relationship. You've probably heard the song on the radio or seen it peak at #6 on the Hot 100 Billboard. Most believe this song to be a commentary on Swift's past relationship with One Direction's Harry Styles. I'm distressed because researching 'Style' by Taylor Swift had me Googling 'what color are Harry Styles's eyes?' But this post was worth it as usual with pop songs, there's more than meets the listener's ears.
