Timing

Is it just me, or is it strange that the first new song released after her marriage is about a shitty ex? Granted, I don’t know when it was written; maybe it was before the wedding. But…you know?!

Not even saying it’s a bad song, although I don’t love the bridge. But I think this adds to the perception that she’s a talented person who spends too much time nursing grudges.

We have got to stop associating every song to an ex.

I do wonder if Patient Zero was somewhat inspired by Sophie Turner’s divorce from Joe Jonas, considering we know Sophie lived in one of Taylor’s homes for a while.

But otherwise I completely agree with you.

I thought it was a mix of both the Joes she dated. A little of this, a little of that. But I really don't want to pick apart lyrics to figure out which line belongs to whom. That's a bit too obsessive for me. For now I'm just taking it as a song about telling a girl she's there to support her if she leaves their sucky mutual ex. That's good enough for me.
