all 1989tv vault tracks are about dianna agron
Slut:
“everyone wants him that was my crime” at that time everyone knew taylor was dating harry because they were going on pap walks since the start of their relationship, and also everyone loved and wanted him. So from “lovelorn and nobody knows” we can know that the one she was really in love with…was not harry. The “he” she refers to in the song is harry, but the “you” is another person, who she was privately dating. That’s why she said she would pay the price of everyone calling her a slut but “you” wouldn’t, because nobody knew about the secret “you”.
And then she realizes that if people are gonna judge her for everything she does, she might as well be with someone she truly loves.
Also, the flamingo pink, which I think they posted around the same time—
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Say Don’t Go:
“why'd you have to lead me on?” harry wasn’t leading taylor on, they were full on dating.
“why'd you whisper in the dark? just to leave me in the night?” I think harry stayed the night with Taylor a few times, so he wouldn’t have to leave her in the night because everyone knew they were dating, but dianna would have to.
“the waiting is a sadness. fading into madness” I really don’t think harry could make her that mad, if you agree Wonderland is about dianna then this is too.
This is like a breakup song, and I’ll say it once and for all—the breakup songs on 1989 can’t be about karlie, kaylor were just in the beginning when taylor wrote the album.
Now That We Don’t Talk:
“I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost and what it cost” “truth is I can't pretend it's platonic” a very we’re-friends-but-want-to-be-more situation, which fits right into a gay relationship. Also, when were harry and taylor ever platonic? Neither of them needed to pretend they’re platonic because they started dating right after they met and everyone knew that they were dating so it just doesn’t make sense.
“what do you tell your friends, we shared dinners, long weekends with?” everyone knew harry and taylor were dating, so did their friends, then why would taylor add “what did you tell your friends” when there was nothing to explain about them sharing dinners and weekends because they were dating!!
“you part the crowd like the Red Sea”
Tumblr media
“you grew your hair long. you got new icons”some people may argue that dianna didn’t grow her hair long at that time, but this line can be figurative, saying that dianna changed her brand (maybe “straighten” up) and everything.
Suburban Legends:
“I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs would surprise the whole school”
taylor is a Sagittarius, harry is a Aquarius, karlie is a Leo, and dianna is a Taurus—
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“class reunion”, “1950s gymnasium”, and the lockers in the lyric video visuals, it’s all very Glee (and the cheerios) coded
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I pace down your block” brings back to I Wish You Would, and that song is about dianna.
“when you told me we'd get back together”“waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door, you don't knock anymore, and my whole life's ruined” same concept as Style, a relationship that’s on and off and in the end taylor realized that that person would always come back into her life no matter how many times they left, so her life’s ruined (in a good way). And Style is obviously about dianna.
Is It Over Now:
also talking about an on and off relationship, in which she kept wondering if they were over or not. taylor and harry only dated for two or three months, how can they fell apart and came back together over and over again?! It’s very Out Of The Woods and Style coded, and so it’s about dianna.
I know “when you lost control. red blood, white snow” is a reference to their snowmobile accident, also mentioned in Out Of The Woods, but personally I think that song is about the pain of bearding and not being able to be with the one she truly loved (dianna). So in Out Of The Woods she’s talking to harry, but it’s more like “are we out of this faking pretending painful relationship?” And maybe when the accident happened, with the sun coming up and them looking at each other, they realized they didn’t want to do it anymore, it wasn’t worth it, so they decided to set each other free.

Lyrics under the cut
Suburban Legends
Tick-tock on the clock I pace down your block I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it Waves crash on the shore I dash to the door You don't knock anymore And my whole life's ruined
Speak Now
I hear the preacher say, "Speak now or forever hold your peace" There's the silence, there's my last chance I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me Horrified looks from everyone in the room But I'm only looking at you

Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door
You don't knock anymore and my whole life's ruined

How You Get The Girl: "She’ll open up the door and say, “Are you insane?”
Say Don’t Go: "Halfway out the door, but it won’t close"
Suburban Legends: "Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door" and “You don't knock anymore and I always knew it That my life would be ruined”
Slut! "Send the code, he's waitin' there" (which is not a door, but I assume a word to get to a hotel room, and like Hoax's door)
Cardigan: "And you’d be standing in my front porch light"
Exile: "I think I’ve seen this film before, so I’m leaving out the side door"
August: "Salt air and the rust on your door, I never needed anything more"
Betty: "Betty, I’m here on your doorstep and I planned it out for weeks now" and "Will you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends?"
Hoax: "You knew the password so I let you in the door"
Long Story Short: "When I dropped my sword, I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door"
Hits Different: "I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway" and " Is that your key in the door? Is it okay? Is it you?"
Harry
MMITH: "Just let me know I'll be at the door, at the door"
Only Angel: "Broke a finger knocking on your bedroom door"
Without you: "I still leave an open door / It’s gonna be long it’s gonna be hard"
Hunger: "Shoes sitting by the door never put them on"
Boyfriends: "You love a fool who knows just how to get under your skin / You, you, you still open the door"
Canyon Moon "The world's happy waiting / Doors yellow, broken, blue"
Jesus Christ, Happy New Year "Jesus, we can talk through the door / I don't want to come in anyway"

Suburban Legends’ “Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door/You don't knock anymore and my whole life's ruined/Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block/I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it/Waves crash to the shore, I dash to the door/You don't knock anymore and I always knew it/That my life would be ruined” reminds me so much of“I heard you key turn in the door,/down the hallway/Is that your key in the door?/Is it okay?/Is it you?/Or have they come to/take me away?” in “Hits Different” and Anti-Hero’s “I wake up screaming/from dreaming/one day I’ll watch as you’re/leaving and life will lose all its/meaning - for the last time.”

taylor wrote those surprise songs for satosugu
i mean come on
say don’t go
why'd you have to lead me on? / why’d you have to twist the knife? / walk away and leave me bleedin’, bleedin'? / why’d you whisper in the dark? / just to leave me in the night? / now your silence has me screamin', screamin'
now that we don’t talk
you grew your hair long / you got new icons / and from the outside / it looks like you're tryin' lives on / i miss the old ways / you didn't have to change / but I guess I don't have a say / now that we don't talk
suburban legends
waves crash on the shore, i dash to the door / you don't knock anymore and my whole life's ruined
is it over now
if she's got blue eyes, i will surmise that you'll probably date her (oh, no) / you dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor
