Music writing is just an evolution and progression of her life story, it's actually not very creative at all.
Drives me nuts how everyone is looking for meaning, double meaning, Easter eggs of sorts about each lyric. TS is worshiped. I'm shocked how much my daughter reads into it and how much time she puts into "being in the know."
If I were to summarize the entirety of TS career and life (according to what she musically presents to the world) I'd say: Amazingly successful career, yet ultimately sad or gloomy.
