She does not like that man! We should take her song references with numbers as a silent protest that will hopefully grow larger once she starts touring with the new album!

Johann Sebastian Bach, the greatest musical genius we've known, was also interested in numerology. References are imbedded in many of his compositions. Probably more obscure than we hope Taylor Swift's will be, but she is following a very old tradition.

Wouldn't it just be simpler to say "fuck this orange asshole" then put it to a song?

If you can make it rhyme, even catchier.

I was stuck in a moment from “Born on the Fourth of July:” “You don't get it. You don't get it. I had a town once, Charlie, and a mother and father.

Things - things that made sense. Do you remember things that made sense, things you could count on, before we all got so lost? What are we going to do, Charlie? What am I going to do, man?” (Ty)

Thanks so much for this one Miles. I take an interest in that too. This was very interesting.

: ) You have my curiosity stimulated now! I'll be paying closer attention to that.

If sequential the 1+2=3+2=5.......to 9 equals 47, then 10 is the song.

Am I off? Most likely!!!
