Hmm, I don't believe she didn't know about the scarf. Anyway, the 'maple lattes' clue makes it clear she wasn't trying to be discreet about the song's subject..
Bob Lefsetz's latest thoughts on Taylor:
Quote:
Unlike the “world domination” pop stars, country acts are satisfied speaking to their core, they need no one more. Which begs the question whether country will forget about Taylor Swift after she has gone pop. This is what happened with Shania Twain. Country needs to own you, it doesn’t want to share you. Then again, Taylor Swift has become the voice of her generation. Deservedly so, based on her honest, confessional songs of the past. As for this new album, can you believe how quickly “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” burned out? Top Forty radio, unlike its country cousin, is not loyal. If callout isn’t spectacular, if they sense a shift in the winds, they drop you. In other words, play in the Top Forty world at your peril.
......
If you don’t have a personality, you’re never gonna make it. Hell, we care more about Taylor Swift’s romances than the songs herself. She’s running around naked emotionally and you’re busy running around naked physically. The latter is a train-wreck that might garner some eyeballs but it’s the former we’re truly interested in.
Don’t think fame, think life. Think emotion. Think soul.
