I don’t know if Taylor Swift writes her own songs or is just a pretty face with autotune, but the lyrics often have a certain “tay tay” quality, which makes me think she either writes, greatly contributes, or whoever writes her songs can, Pessoa-like, create a distinct Tay Tay persona.

The lyrics please me:

Sleep in half the day just for old times’ sake
I won’t ask you to wait if you don’t ask me to stay
So I’ll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends
Who’ll write books about me if I ever make it
And wonder about the only soul
Who can tell which smiles I’m fakin’
And the heart I know I’m breakin’ is my own
To leave the warmest bed I’ve ever known
We could call it even
Even though I’m leaving
And I’ll be yours for the weekend
​’Tis the damn season

And she made for an excellent Murdoch Murdoch character.
