Apparently it is "very lyrical" and has a really good progression throughout the song and has a big climax.
What kind of All too well teas?

I forgot. Happy New Year, Taysciples. Here's for another year full of travesties.

The first verse of TLO is obviously about a past music star, arguably Joni, that Taylor looked up to. It fits because Joni changed her name, seeking fortune and fame. The verse can also be about Taylor herself as she tells-off her future self. This come from the lines "You had it figured out since you were in school./ Everybody loves pretty./ Everybody loves cool./" IT is widely known that Taylor was teased in school, and she vastly speaks of how important it was to be pretty and cool in her junior high school. Also in the first verse, we have the mention of "The Angel City," which can have double meaning for Joni's rise in Los Angeles, or it can be the first mention of Jeff Lang, Taylor's deceased best friend. Moving onto the second verse, big black cars and riviera views allow the Joni theme to continue to flow, but a "lover in the foyer" who doesn't even know "you"? That seems more like a Shania Twain reference than anything. Another Jeff reference comes from the line "They tell you that you're luck but you're so confused./ Because you don't feel pretty./ You just feel used./" Why would Joni or Shania be considered "lucky" if they lost all of their fame and became scrutinized by most of the world?
The third and final verse is a key component in helping prove my theory that "The Lucky One"is 1/4 about Jeff Lang. "It was a few years later./ I showed up here./" reveals that Taylor showed up in Australia, where the song was written. But does it? Could she have showed up in her hometown after years of touring and promotion to hear "the legend of how" her best friend "disappeared"? Taylor goes on to say how the "lucky" one took their money and their dignity and "got the hell out." She continues, singing "They say you bought a bunch of land, somewhere./ Chose the rose garden over Madison Square./" Does Taylor mean THE Rose Garden, or A rose garden? Is Taylor continuing the theme of once-respected musicians losing everything, or has she taken a much darker approach on the last half of the song.
Signs point to the answer that yes, Taylor is writing about two of her former role-models, who she is afraid of becoming like. So there, 2 out of 4 people are solved.
1) Joni Mitchell
2) Shania Twain
Then we get the personal touch from Taylor, as she almost scolds a form of herself that she thinks she will one day become.
That makes 3 out of 4 people.
3) Taylor Swift
And finally, a sense of bitterness is used by Taylor, as if she's mad at the person for giving everything up. Would you be mad at your bet friend if they killed themselves? Would Taylor be mad at her best friend if he overdosed on drugs? Would she consider it as "taking your dignity and getting the hell out?" And so we find out the final person who is referenced to in "The Lucky One."
4) Jeff Lang
But is this all accurate? Would Taylor continue to make-over herself to chase the fortune and fame that she so desperately "wants"? Would Taylor give it up for a loss of love and riviera views? Or would Taylor's fame and public scrutiny ultimately drive her to get the hell out? She has to chose a path. She does say the person is "The Luck One" after all. As for which path she will go on, well, wouldn't we like to know.

3 words: Holy ****ing ****. I need more time to fully get into this theory.

I honestly don't know. It's not on youtube though that's a good start.
But the problem is, it's just White Horse. No one would be interested.
Traders, please help
