It’s like a gentle ghost story wrapped in a friendship song, with Taylor singing about a pal whose home life feels haunted, yet still offering an escape through the pure magic of imagination. Makes you wonder if the stars aligned just right for this song to remind us that some bonds, even the hazy ones, never really fade away… LEARN MORE.

Folklore has another great song that honors a friendship, although if it is about any one specific person, it’s not anybody we know. “Seven” seems to be about a childhood friendship and the innocence Taylor and her unnamed friend shared at that age. “And though I can’t recall your face / I still got love for you,” she croons.
But the friend seems to have a troubled home life: “And I’ve been meaning to tell you / I think your house is haunted / Your dad is always mad and that must be why,” Taylor sings. “And I think you should come live with me / And we can be pirates / Then you won’t have to cry.”
