In her latest work, Taylor examines gender dynamics and sexual politics through humor and blunt honesty. Songs like '69' highlight women's lack of prioritization in intimacy, while 'Lies' expresses frustration over hiding true feelings to maintain peace. The album also embraces anthemic, victorious energy inspired by tracks like Elbow's 'One Day Like This,' showcasing Taylor's evolution in sound with theatrical influences. Her lyrics reflect a blend of sentimentality and empowerment, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance amidst societal pressures.
Intended as a comment on how women don't put themselves first in bed, it comes off like a tee-hee watershed comedy sketch about doing it.
But she's only putting a blunt focus on what, by now, are long-accepted understandings of gender dynamics; it's a far cry from how much she could contain in a single line.
