I Believe That Getaway Car, Cruel Summer And Hits Different Are A Trio Of Sorts.

I believe that Getaway Car, Cruel Summer and Hits Different are a trio of sorts.

‘Cruel Summer’ is clearly a callback to summer 2014, and with the lyrical parallels in ‘Hits Different’, we can see she’s also referencing that period of time.

Taylor was not in a happy place in the summer of 2014..

The song ‘Getaway Car’ also displays clear motifs and themes that match with ‘Cruel Summer’ and ‘Hits Different’; Specifically crying in the car and leaving someone at a bar.

Nothing good starts in a getaway car

They were driving, but they never got far

She was CRYING in a getaway car

She was DYING in a getaway car…

In my opinion, ‘Getaway Car’ is a metaphor for Karlie convincing Taylor to move to NYC.

Taylor wrote on Jan 6th, 2014:

‘Love is fiction/a myth. I’m over it all’

‘Oh my, love is a lie. Shit my friends say to get me by.’

The cursed “space” that she “needed” was her choice to move to NYC instead of following Di to London.

Evening Standard

Glee star Dianna Agron to be cheerleader for Alexander McQueen in play

Taylor did choose to conclude the European leg of her Red tour in London, on Feb. 11th, 2014, which is also the same day that she chopped her hair into a bob 🙃

It was also just days before the release of the ‘best friends’ Vogue photoshoot and Dianna’s response..

So messy!!!

Later in May 2014, Taylor went to The Met Gala with Karlie.

Dianna was also there, photographed being extra warm towards her rumored ex, Leà Michelle, which was unexpected since the two had seemed to be ‘feuding’.

Could you imagine seeing your ex with her ex, while you’re out with your rebound? I would have metaphorically died that night too.

After the Met Gala, Taylor turned up the pap walks.. err.. I mean the “sneaking” through the garden gate (looked more like trying to hurt someone else, if you ask me)

Talk about a cruel summer.

What I’ve learned in the past year on my journey into the swiftie universe is that gaylors are so much nicer and intelligent than swifties/hetlors. I have not seen swifties/hetlors do lyrical analysis the way gaylors do. I don’t see them connecting historical figures and nods in her work the way gaylors do. Like gaylors will point out all of the lgbt history that Taylor has used/put into her work and say how much of a genius she is and swifties will attack the gaylors and say “well she didn’t know that’s what it meant” or “oh no that’s not the real meaning” when there is literally no other meaning than the lgbt one. The way I see it is, I’ve seen gaylors appreciate her art and work and her lyrics (because Taylor wants us to read the lyrics) and the swifties just don’t as much. Also the way that swifties/hetlors are about the “male muses” compared to how gaylors are about “female/male muses) is also vastly different. Ive noticed that the swifties see her as some character and not an actual human. I don’t feel comfortable or welcome in swifties spaces whereas gaylor spaces have made me feel at least semi welcome (only semi because I don’t ever feel 100% welcome in any space I try to be in) Overall I’m here for Taylor Swift and her music because it has brought so much joy to me personally in the last year. This has been one of the craziest and best rides I’ve been on.
