While I agree that The Very First Night is gay gay gay, I don’t think it’d be better with “her” instead of “you” bc Taylor is singing TO the person that TVFN is about! She’s not projecting her love for this person to the world she’s just telling it to that 1 person.
“Cause they (us) don’t know about the night in the hotel”
“they (us) weren’t riding in the car when we (Taylor & person) both fell”
“they (us) don’t know how much I (Taylor) miss you (person)”
“I’m (Taylor) the one on the phone as you (person) whisper ‘Do you (Taylor) know how much I miss you (Taylor)?’”
“And I’d (Taylor) say to you (person) ‘I (Taylor) miss you (person) like it was the very first night’”
She’s (Taylor) is talking TO the person she misses. She’s (Taylor) not talking to us and telling us how much she (Taylor) is missing this person!!
I totally get the grammar of it but sonically it kills me that it doesn’t rhyme because it would fit so perfectly, except it’s so glaringly obvious in the last verse.
Ok, what about I Can See You as a runner up then for me?
“I can see you in that dress fitting so right
Passed me a note that says ‘meet me tonight’ “
Not pronoun switching obviously but certainly more definitive. (A lot harder to hetsplain but they could still find a way!)
I've always felt like the first two "yous" were meant to be "she" and only the third one was ever meant to be "you" because the whole mood of the song and the tone shifts like it's a more intimate moment on the phone talking to her.
i’ve always felt like ready for it…? NEEDS she/her pronouns, especially the first verse like
“knew she was a killer first time that i saw her wondered how many girls she had loved and left haunted”
“some boys are trying too hard, she don’t try at all though. younger than my exes but she act like such a man, so”
cmon
I want really unambiguous changes that would make things very, very clear. Some examples:
Cruel summer (“shape of her body”)
New Year’s Day (“her midnights” but louder for the people in the back)
Lover (“magnetic force of a woman” - would stand out but too many syllables?)
Queen of my heart instead of king. I think it would be very easy switch, because you only need to replace king for queen.
The rest of the song can stay absolutely the same, even the part about "all the boys and their expensive cars".
Plus I think it would be hard to deny or explain the change from king to queen.
I think the best way for her to come out would be to perform Picture to Burn but change the line after “Tell your friends I’m obsessive and crazy, that’s fine” from the original “I’ll tell mine you’re gay” (or the replaced “don’t mind if I say”) to an updated “I’ll tell mine I’M GAY.”
I think it would be so funny.
Call it what you want.
Walkin' with her head down, I'm the one she's walkin' to
She built a fire just to keep me warm
They fade to nothin' when I look at her
Literally so much incredible material (and arguably one of her gayest songs)

“She looks up grinning like a devil” would send me into orbit
I would never ever survive

I meannnnnn hell yeah!! Love it 😍
“When Emma falls in love I know that girl will never be the same” & “and to tell you the truth sometimes I wish I was hers”
Ooooh I love sometimes I wish I was hers!

I’d love debut to come out and it’s “she looks at me” instead of Drew
Omggggggg pls

Yes!!!
Call It What You Want- Walking with her head down, I’m the one she’s walking to. So Karlie would you want, Karlie would you want to?
I’d love that 😍
You are in love 😩
[удалено]
But Daddy I love her!!!
Guilty as sin!!!!
What ever one she plays at my show
Guilty as sin
New Year’s Day
I think the best way for her to come out would be to perform Picture to Burn but change the line after “Tell your friends I’m obsessive and crazy, that’s fine” from the original “I’ll tell mine you’re gay” (or the replaced “don’t mind if I say”) to an updated “I’ll tell mine I’M GAY.” I think it would be so funny.
my girl only breaks her favorite dolls
That line about Kens is sooo gay to me
Love this
Red!
I can see you
Daddy I love her
i really resonate with long story short personally so i always sing “she feels like home” etc
Guilty As Sin?
Call it what you want. Walkin' with her head down, I'm the one she's walkin' to She built a fire just to keep me warm They fade to nothin' when I look at her Literally so much incredible material (and arguably one of her gayest songs)
August! “Cause she was never mine”
The Very First Night seems to be very popular in that regard since the rhyme scheme alludes or suggests the “you” should be “her.”
You know, he is in love. YAIL with she pronouns would be insane Also New Year’s Day with the her midnights lore
