It makes me think of Willow, FINALLY ANOTHER SONG WITH WILLOW'S VIBE

[JodiHummel-tybu]

Wise men once read fake news and believed it… her lyrics are so thoughtful

[oldschoolninamain]

One of her best songs ever. Especially strong lyrics

[elsahonma]

Love this album, can't live without Taylor 💝

[JennySieck]

All I can say is go read The Ryme of the Ancient Mariner and then go read about the lesbian albatrosses off the coast of an island in hawaii. This song has MAJOR subtextual references. Brilliant Taylor and her puzzles.

[LynLewis-qb]

Great album, love all the songs on this album... Thank you for freeing all of us in our own ways. FANTASTIC.💜💜💜😻👏

[JodiHummel-tybu]

I’m just how? How does she do this? She really is a poet…

[Fireball_Tim_]

Hope is the weapon we use to defend ourselves when we've got nothing left. It doesn't matter the odds or the danger when love is involved, you scream "GERONIMO" you dive straight in.

[salomesuchet]

I love it and I really need someone to do a Nina & Matthias from Shadow and Bone edit with this song. It would work so well with their story

[Fazebarry]

Thank you! 🙏 I love this ❤❤❤❤Thank you for this beautiful album we all needed ❤❤❤❤

[graciegold]

guys please help this reminds me so much of a 2000ish song but i can't get behind it 😩😭😭😭

[vaishnabiswas]

The part 'cross your thoughtless heart...' sounds TOO MUCH like Katy Perry's Wide Awake..

"Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend (And it's too late)
The story's over now, the end"

This part.

[LilyofTheValley-ptxe]

I like this song because of The Hunger Games edit on tt

[Kiara-zovv]

this kinda sounds like pacify her by Melanie and I love it sm

[berndgruner]

[karishmadeegan]

Does the chorus remind anyone of wide awake by katy perry?

[trishalsua]

This song is for Travis…. Start of their relationship

[vinbergman]

Is it just me or does this song "Albatross" feel like a diss track for Prince Harry's wife?

Everything fits perfectly.

First of all, Taylor Swift's 2024 Grammy dress looks like it was inspired from Princess Catherine's 2023 BAFTA dress. The dress has the same colors as an albatross - this has been on the news.

Secondly, it's been reported that Taylor Swift ‘declined Harry's wife's personal handwritten letter’ to appear on the podcast Archetypes and she declined it only through a representative. This means she's not really a major fan of Harry's wife.

Thirdly, examining the lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Wise men once said
"Wild winds are death to the candle" (Princess Diana lived her life like a candle in the wind?)
A rose by any other name is a scandal (There was a false rumor that Prince William had an affair with Rose Hanbury?)
Cautions issued, he stood (Prince Harry was cautioned and warned about his wife by many people?)
Shooting the messengers
They tried to warn him about her (They: people around Prince Harry / him: Prince Harry / her: his wife?)

[Chorus]
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross (Princess Catherine?)
She is here to destroy you

[Verse 2]
Wise men once said
"One bad seed kills the garden"
"One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen"
Locked me up in towers (Princess Catherine cannot complain/explain?)
But I'd visit in your dreams
And they tried to warn you about me

[Chorus]
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Devils that you know (Harry's wife used friends and relatives and ditched them afterwards?)
Raise worse hell than a stranger
She's the death you chose
You're in terrible danger

[Bridge]
And when that sky rains fire on you
And you're persona non grata (Harry's wife is ungrateful towards her family and the royal family?)
I'll tell you how I've been there too
And that none of it matters

[Verse 3]
Wise men once read fake news (It's been reported that Harry's wife was pregnant but evidence is pointing to she wore a fake moon bump?)
And they believed it
Jackals raised their hackles
You couldn't conceive it (Harry's wife allegedly used surrogates and faked her pregnancy?)
You were sleeping soundly
When they dragged you from your bed
And I tried to warn you about them
