one underrated line that kills me about YOYOK is

“I took the money”

bc not many people know the real meaning of that phrase. so let me take you down the rabbit hole:

remember who the other con creator of that album is?

Correct. Jack Michael Antonoff. The same Jack who has a band called Bleachers. The same Bleachers band that has a song called, what?

Don't Take The Money

Interesting.

Here's a shot video of Jack talking about that song, but basically the gist of it is:

“Don’t Take the Money” is a phrase that I’ve had in my head for years. It’s my version of ‘don’t not follow your gut,’ easy way to put it is don’t sell out, in the broad definition of what that is.

What's more, in Jack's latest Instagram post, he shared some bits of what seems to be his digital journal. And in the second picture, he repeats this sentence again in the context of selling out:

don't take the money – dont tell them ur price. if you never do anything that breaks you than you dont have a price. some people actually dont. its different for everybody but seeing that some do not have that line is a heartbreaker (...) there is a line. don't let anybody obscure the/your line (...) dont take the money if the money is on the other side of the line because the thing about line... is... you dont get to draw a new one once you cross one.

Now, as we know, Jack and Taylor are besties. Have been for the past 10 years.

With all this context about what "taking the money" means for Jack, and keeping in mind that Jack wrote this song with Taylor...

Idk what it all means lol but basically that “I took the money” line is Taylor admitting:

“I sold out, I crossed the line.”

Now, which line did she cross and how exactly did she sell out? I have no idea. But I just think it's very interesting and I don't think many swifties know what it actually means, so I thought I'd share my bleachers hyperfixation with you guys.

No because people don’t seem to understand. The scrambled letters, the Easter eggs, the hidden letters and messages, these are all tradition for us. No it’s not just promo, she’s doing this for us, we’ve been doing this from the beginning of her career.

We started by figuring out hidden messages in songs from her booklets to connecting barcodes all across the globe. I’m so excited, I’m so happy.
