I\u2019ve talked about Taylor Swift\u2019s semantic overloading, how her lyrics are usu. at least three things at once so that they mean something to a broad swath and mean something really particular to a narrow beam so it becomes their song

I just listened back to Dear John, which at the time I \u201cknew\u201d was about John Mayer, but it was on 2012\u2032s Red, the last album she pitched country at all

now imagine you didn\u2019t know that but instead you \u201cknew\u201d it was about a stepdad

just saying
