"On the dreamy track from The Life of a Showgirl, Swift has fun rattling off the things others might want - from a "fat ass with a baby face" to a Palme d'Or. "They should have what they want. They deserve what they want," she says. But her biggest desire? "I just want you. Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you," Swift sings in the apparent ode to her fiancé, Travis Kelce."
"They want that yacht life under chopper blades They want those bright lights and Balenci shades And a fat ass with a baby face They want it all They want that complex female character They want that critical smash Palme d'Or And an Oscar on their bathroom floor They want it all And they should have what they want They deserve what they want Hope they get what they "
Taylor Swift's "Wi$h Li$t" juxtaposes extravagant public desires with an intimate yearning to build a family and domestic life with fiancé Travis Kelce. The lyrics catalogue glamorous ambitions—yachts, awards, fashion—alongside a longing for children, a home with a basketball hoop, and privacy from public scrutiny. The song positions career and settling down as compatible goals, portraying both "boss up" ambition and "settle down" contentment. The bridge references making wishes on stars and finding a "best friend who I think is hot," framing personal fulfillment as a realized wish.
