Embracing romantic poetry, fans are led to believe Taylor’s new record is all about her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

By the beginning of August, Taylor’s eighth studio album became the best-selling album of 2020, and features her previous single, ‘Cardigan.’

Check out the lyrics to ‘the lakes’ below.

[Verse 1]

Is it romantic how all of my elegies eulogize me?
I’m not cut out for all these cynical clones
These hunters with cell phones

[Chorus]

Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
I don’t belong and, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I’m setting off, but not without my muse

[Verse 2]
What should be over burrowed under my skin
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
I’ve come too far to watch some name-dropping sleaze
Tell me what are my words worth

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I want auroras and sad prose
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
‘Cause I haven’t moved in years
And I want you right here
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
With no one around to tweet it
While I bathe in cliff-side pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief

[Chorus]

I’m not crying.  You’re crying.
