Getaway Car / august / The Other Side of the Door mashup lyrics (Melbourne Night 2)
Aaaand their possible connection to The Tortured Poets Department
I’m going to do this for each of the mashups she performed at the 2024 shows, because I firmly believe that she chose the songs for a reason and arranged the lyrics / switched between songs carefully to craft entirely new stories. A lot of the themes those songs hinted at have since been explored in detail on the new album. This mashup, which discusses the concept of cheating from three different perspectives, is perhaps the best example. She switches POVs between the cheater in the getaway car, the other woman realizing she never had her lover in the first place, and the woman who had to leave after being cheated on but still misses her ex.

Taylor switches to the chorus of august
Tumblr media
back to Getaway Car
Tumblr media
and onto the outro of The Other Side of the Door
Tumblr media
She wants to leave her relationship, and this man is the perfect getaway car/‘reason’ for her to do so. Of course she would leave. She quickly realizes that the new relationship is doomed as well. They never had a shot. He was never hers. The entire relationship seemed to only last a single month and was over when the summer ended. At the end of the mashup, she assumes the position of the woman who was cheated on. Was she worth this mess? I need you.

You know, it's rather interesting to me that Taylor Swift's parasocial relationship with her fans is honestly more akin to a YouTuber than a writer's. When I scroll through her tag on tumblr/Twitter, it's far more regarding the connection to her personal life/relationship developments than the actual metaphors/fictional story she might be telling. Everything comes back to how her songs reflect back on her relationships with Joe/Matty/Travis/Jake/insert ex-boyfriend here. And what fascinates me about it is that even though she complains about it, she leans into that very perception because it strengthens the parasocial bond.
The marketing for TTPD so clearly being about Joe Alwyn and the songs to Matty Healy. The marketing/video for Red TV so CLEARLY being about Jake Gyllenhaal, with so many of the new lines in All Too Well specifically being digs at him (I'll get older but your lovers stay my age, casting an actor that looks like him for the video, specific lines in I Bet You Think About Me). The fact that songs like Getaway Car and Bejeweled and Gorgeous and London Boy and Lavender Haze being picked apart at time of release and long after for signs of relationships crumbling. The way she uses surprise songs in relation to her relationship development with Joe/Matty/Travis. The damn TTPD "stages of grief" playlists where she deliberately undid/changed the meanings of old songs just to keep her audience speculating on her love life.
It's not sexist to point out that her wielding her love life is a marketing tool and that the strongest connection to her audience isn't the strength of her writing/the composition of her music- it's her deliberate crafting of a connection between her music and her personal life, leaving the audience invested in her music as an extension of Taylor the Person/Girlfriend rather than Taylor the Artist.

Not to alarm you but: “pulled the car off the road to the lookout. Could’ve followed my fears all the way down”/ “I was dying in a getaway car”

so getaway car is from the perspective of the cheater, august is from the perspective of the other woman, and the other side of the door is from the perspective of the woman who was cheated on. thinking

There are some songs that the majority of swifties like. However, other swifties think that some of these songs are overrated. So, this a poll to give your opinion about it. PS: I chose the songs that the most of the fandom like.
