Taylor Swift - Getaway Car


♫~•~*~•~♫~•~*~•~♫~•~*~•~♫~•~*~•~♫~•~*~•~♫~•~*~•~♫~•~*~•~♫~•~*~•~♫

The change of genres from Taylor Swift's first album to her most recent album is drastic. There are some fans who really love her old stuff and hate the new stuff. Other fans love her new style and hate the old one. And there are those, like me, that have loved her music all the way and think she excels at every style she tries. In my opinion, she really is a talented artist that is capable of turning any song into a lovable, catchy tune regardless of genre.

Today I chose a song from her newest album Reputation. The song "Getaway Car" stood out the most to me when I was first giving Reputation a try. I found that it had the perfect balance of her previous album's style with her newer pop style. I also really enjoyed the lyrics of the song. I can't say I know what she was trying to symbolize with her words (I'm not good at interpretations as I've established in previous posts), but I can tell you it centers around a Bonnie-and-Clyde-type story. I thought it was interesting how she used classic crime phrases such as "every man for himself", "put the money in the bag", and of course the repeating chorus phrase "getaway car". I really enjoy themed songs so it was a pleasure listening to how creative she could get with her word choice. I hope you especially enjoy this song today if it is your first time listening. Have an wonderful day!
